The researchers explored themes related to online education, clinical placements, and mental health. Findings revealed that the sudden shift to online learning caused increased stress, and decreased confidence. Clinical placements were affected, leading to missed time and altered learning experiences. Mental health suffered as students faced stressors and challenges brought on by the pandemic. These interviews elucidate the challenges faced by nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic and provide valuable information for future planning in nursing education during crises.  \nThe COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on education, healthcare, and personal lives (Hronis & Dixon, 2021, p.3) . This qualitative research study was initiated to assess COVID-19’s impact on nursing education. This was accomplished through semi-structured interviews with undergraduate nursing students. This study was approved by the University of Calgary’s Conjoint Health Research Ethics Board (CHREB) .  \nNursing school has been documented as stressful and challenging for students during non-pandemic times (Olvera Alvarez et al., 2019) . Before the pandemic, nursing students found the demands between hospital and classroom to be challenging to navigate (Pulido-Martos et al., 2012) . COVID-19 increased the stress students experience between classroom and clinical learning (Alici & Copur, 2021) . The aim of this study was to generate descriptive information relating to the experiences of undergraduate nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This information will help outline future research, describe the challenges of nursing education through crises, and inform future planning for nursing education during pandemics.  \nMethod  \nUsing qualitative methodology, ten nursing students were recruited from the University of Calgary through email. Data were gathered using face-to-face interviews virtually through  \ncorresponding author − riley.martens@ucalgary.ca  \nMartens, R., Hou, M., Isherwood, S., & Cuthbert, C. (2024) . Exploring COVID-19’s impact on undergraduate nursing students. Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching, 7, 70-80.  \nZoom using a Question Guide for Interviews (Appendix A) . The interviews followed a semistructured format, meaning the questions were open ended and covered a range of topics, and the answers were audio recorded verbatim (Jamshed, 2014) . Another component of the semistructured format is that the interview was guided by premade questions that was updated and refined as interviews are completed, making it iterative (Jamshed, 2014) . The question guide for this study was created by the authors. A research transcriptionist produced written logs ofthe recordings, which were then analysed using thematic analysis. The qualitative analysis of the interviews was completed following the thematic analysis methodology outlined by Braun and Clarke (2006). Data was organized using NVivo 12. A total often interviews were completed at which point thematic saturation had been reached.  \nTwo of the authors, MH and SI, had employed this methodology previously when examining COVID-19’s impact on general surgery residents. This same approach was then applied to the nursing student population in order to understand their perspectives ofthe consequences ofCOVID-19 . The interview questions were drawn from the previous study concerning physicians in the general surgery residency program and then adapted to an undergraduate nursing population to cover additional topics such as online classes, test taking, and study habits. As the interviews progressed, the question guide was altered to further investigate the topics nursing stu","cbCaisPgYmSfozqa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisPgYmSfozqa","pdf",81375,11,"English","# Method\n## Participants and recruitment\n## Interview format and analysis\n# Results\n## Online education transition\n## Clinical placements\n## Mental health","[{\"question\":\"How did the COVID-19 shift affect online education for nursing students?\",\"answer\":\"Students described a complete transition from in-person to online learning, with some skill labs moving back in-person later.
