Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about many unpredictable challenges requiring flexible and adaptable solutions for higher education, especially in nursing academia. The COVID-19 pandemic challenged nursing academia, including academic nursing administrators (ANAs), to keep staff and students safe while mitigating the spread of the disease. The ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 and the global healthcare crisis of this generation led to the need for social distancing. As the number of deaths increased from the coronavirus, radical changes were adopted in the United States, including social distancing. The COVID-19 pandemic complicated the practical aspects of the practicum in nursing education as they questioned how to continue educating nurses while facing the need for social distancing. A research study using a basic qualitative research method (BQRM) using Roy's adaptative model (RAM) as the lens was conducted to explore the experiences of ANAs in undergraduate nursing programs (UNPs) with social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
