ABSTRACT
For Nurse Education in the UK, pre-existing challenges already included the need to develop curricula to align with new Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) educational standards; and increased numbers entering pre-registration Nurse Education programmes in order to address workforce deficits. Further disruption due to COVID-19, forced Nurse Educators overnight to rapidly adopt and to innovatively use current and emerging technologies to maintain engagement with, and to continue delivering education to, students during the pandemic. Although the full extent of these enforced changes is unknown at this time, this paper argues that online delivery is a necessary and inevitable transition, addressing some of these pre-existing challenges, and that the pandemic has hastened this. It is therefore crucial that Nurse Educators lead the way in navigating this period of uncertainty, viewing the pandemic as an opportunity to plan for the future, to establish how online teaching and learning can continue to benefit Nurse Education in a post-COVID-19 world, not just in the UK, but across the globe.
