Recognizing the disruption that COVID 19 is creating for nursing education, OADN created a COVID-19 Task Force. The Task Force is comprised of individuals who represent a national perspective and were asked to provide guided consideration and generate ideas to address future teaching/learning structures and opportunities in nursing education. The Task Force was divided into 4 work groups:
The groups worked to identify innovative methods of restructuring the teaching/learning process, recognized need for modifications based on the pandemic; developed strategies for providing meaningful clinical learning opportunities, discussed academic/practice partnership considerations, and created a plan for collaborating with industry partners for high quality and safe return of students to clinicals.
