The COVID-19 outbreak deeply changed our lives on different levels. Social restrictions and distancing shaped in a different way our view of social relationships and behaviours. Like many aspects of daily life, also education has undergone radical changes. Nursing care was strongly affected by the outbreak, not only due to the risks in everyday practice, the heavy workload or the impact on nurses' daily lives outside the healthcare settings, but also because nursing is caring profession and it embeds in its roots the close relationship with the patient, the touch, the patients' body proximity as a way to communicate and to deliver an effective nursing care. All these issues, when brought in nursing education are also a learning opportunity for students and a way to develop their professional identity and to focusing on the nursing role. The COVID-19 outbreak heavily hit the clinical learning environments, as they are healthcare settings. The situation affected students' learning opportunities, since clinical placements were suspended, Universities closed and in-person courses moved into online teaching. While lessons and courses rapidly switched into online teaching, in order to safeguard students' education and faculty's activity, it was not possible to manage the pre-clinical activities, such as simulations and labs, in order to support technical and relational competences. Most of all, it was not possible to arrange the clinical placements due to the uncertainty of the healthcare settings and the social and organizational restrictions to limiting unnecessary accesses to the services, as recommended by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing in 2020.Recently, many authors have explored the issues related to the future of nursing education. In detail, an emerging issue is how it will be possible to educating nurses in a society facing isolation and social distance measures, but at the same time, in a society that needs more and more prepared clinical nurses.
COVID-19 疫情在不同层面深刻地改变了我们的生活。社交限制和社交距离以不同的方式塑造了我们对社交关系和行为的看法。与日常生活的许多方面一样，教育也经历了根本性的变革。护理工作受到疫情的强烈影响，不仅因为日常实践中的风险、繁重的工作量或对护士日常生活在医疗保健环境之外的影响，还因为护理是关怀专业，它的根基中嵌入了与患者的密切关系、触摸、患者身体的亲近，以此作为沟通和提供有效护理的方式。所有这些问题，在护理教育中提出，也是学生的学习机会，也是发展他们的专业身份和关注护理角色的机会。COVID-19 疫情严重冲击了临床学习环境，因为它们是医疗保健环境。这种情况影响了学生的学习机会，因为临床实习暂停，大学关闭，面授课程转为在线教学。虽然课程和课程迅速转向在线教学，以保障学生的教育和教师的活动，但无法管理临床前活动，如模拟和实验室，以支持技术和关系能力。最重要的是，由于医疗保健环境的不确定性以及社会和组织限制对限制对服务的不必要访问，无法安排临床实习，正如美国护理学院协会在 2020 年所建议的那样。最近，许多作者探讨了与护理教育未来相关的问题。具体而言，一个新出现的问题是，如何在一个面临隔离和社会距离措施的社会中教育护士，但同时，在一个需要越来越多有准备的临床护士的社会中教育护士。
