Abstract

The COVID19 Pandemic has highlighted the contribution nurses make to global health and wellbeing. Much of this contribution is possible due to the high quality education nurses receive at both an undergraduate and postgraduate level. The COVID19 pandemic has resulted in challenges for both nurses undertaking postgraduate education along with those responsible for delivering that education. This paper highlights those challenges many of which are specific to nurses and their subsequent meaning. The response by nursing faculty in light of these challenges is also articulated
