Abstract

Background: In the year 2020 the skills laboratory methodology for a Baccalaureate undergraduate nursing programme had to precipitously adjust to remote online clinical learning, because of the immediate closure of higher education institutions due to the rapid global spread of Covid-19. Clinical supervisors had to swiftly adapt to a new method of clinical teaching and learning, while experiencing the concomitant complexities of the new methodology. Aim: This study explores and describes the experiences of clinical supervisors at a university in the Western Cape in interacting with undergraduate nursing students while swiftly adjusting to the use of remote online clinical learning sessions during the Covid-19 pandemic.
