Dünyanın birçok bölgesinde virüsün doğası ve hakkındaki belirsizlik,kişisel koruyucu ekipman temini, sağlık sigortası, eğitimci denetimi gibi nedenlergöz önüne alınarak öğrencilerin klinik uygulamaları iptal edilmiştir. Bu nedenle klinikuygulama ile öğrencinin kazanabileceği bilgi, beceri ve tutumların geliştirilmesitüm dünyada hemşirelik eğitiminde en çok zorluk yaşanan alan olmuştur. Çevrim içieğitime geçiş, okulların öğrenci katılımını teşvik edecek stratejiler geliştirmelerini, sınavprosedürlerinde ve not verme uygulamalarında değişiklikler yapmalarını gerektirmiştir.Aynı zamanda eğitimciler öğrencilere alternatif klinik deneyimler sunmak ve öğrenciperformansının nasıl değerlendirileceğini yeniden tanımlamak zorunda kalmışlardır.Hemşirelik okulu yöneticileri ve eğitimcileri pandemi süresince hemşirelik eğitiminindevamlılığını sağlamak ve kalitesini sürdürmek için okullarda altyapının düzenlenmesi,hemşirelik öğrencileri için klinik alan gereksinimlerinin planlanması, akreditasyonstandartlarının sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanması gibi pek çok unsuru göz önündebulundurmuştur.

In this review, it is aimed to explain the practices performed in nursing schools in different countries during the COVID-19 pandemic in line with the current conditions in their countries, legal regulations, and the recommendations of professional institutions, and to present examples. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has required rapid changes in the education method in nursing schools, innovation, flexibility, and rapid action. Theoretical courses conducted face-to-face in nursing education have been rapidly transferred to online platforms. In many parts of the world, the clinical learning of the students has been canceled, considering the uncertainty of the virus structure, the supply of personal protection equipment, health insurance, and educator supervision. For this reason, developing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that students can gain through clinical learning has been the most difficult issue in nursing education all over the world. The transition to online education has required schools to develop strategies to encourage student participation and to make changes in exam procedures and grading. At the same time, educators had to offer students alternative clinical experiences and redefine how to evaluate student performance. Nursing school deans and nurse educators have taken into account many factors such as organizing the infrastructure in schools, planning clinical learning requirements for nursing students, ensuring the sustainability of accreditation standards to ensure the continuity of nursing education and maintain its quality during the pandemic. Necessary regulations in education should be made urgently to train competent health professionals in combatting epidemics.
