Coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic in nursing school

ABSTRACT

As in other countries around the world, Brazil had suspended nursing students hospital care training practices and extension activities. After this decision, a number of actions were shared in relation to students' education and activities that would be conducted to avoid the academic curricula to be compromised. At national level in education, a number of activities have been planned to keep students connected with colleges and university, even distant, as well as actions to rethink the curriculum of courses to guarantee the knowledge and social commitment needed for the education of qualified professionals for the Brazilian Public Hand ealth System. Here, Schirmer and Balsanelli discuss how nursing schools coped the COVID-19 pandemic.
