The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for public health nursing as an integral part of a strong public health workforce. However, it has also created challenges in preparing future nurses as much of nursing instruction, including clinical experiences, needed to urgently transition learning to a virtual environment. This paper describes the process faculty experienced during spring 2020 to quickly transition public health nursing clinicals from in-person to virtual learning in response to COVID-19. Further, faculty lessons learned are shared and include the importance of creating a supportive team dynamic, embracing innovation, continuing to engage with community partners, and adapting to meet emerging student needs during the evolving pandemic. The process and lessons learned may act as a guide for other nursing programs as we continue to navigate nursing education during this and future pandemics.
COVID-19 大流行凸显了公共卫生护理作为强大公共卫生劳动力的一个组成部分的必要性。然而，它也在为未来的护士做准备方面带来了挑战，因为包括临床经验在内的大部分护理教学都需要紧急将学习转移到虚拟环境中。本文描述了教职员工在 2020 年春季期间为应对 COVID-19 而将公共卫生护理临床课程从面对面迅速过渡到虚拟学习所经历的过程。此外，还分享了教职员工的经验教训，包括创建支持性团队动态、接受创新、继续与社区合作伙伴合作以及在不断变化的大流行期间适应满足学生新需求的重要性。在我们继续在这一次和未来的大流行期间探索护理教育的过程中，这个过程和经验教训可以作为其他护理项目的指南。
