Abstract: Background: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic indiscriminately affected every part of the world. As a pandemic, it posed a serious threat to global health and society, and brought an impact to both the education system and healthcare services. The Public health measures that were instituted to control the spread of the Coronavirus in Kenya consisted of implementing lockdowns/quarantine and social distancing. Nurse educators were compelled to be creative, flexible, quick, and agile in the integration of theory with practice for skills teaching and learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. One such radical change in approach to the overwhelming challenge of sustaining nursing education was changing the method of teaching/learning delivery. Other settings had no choice but to adjust (compress, lengthen, or shorten) the time frame of clinical placements. Owing to the methods enacted to manage the pandemic, the clinical setting also became confined for the students, faculty, and general public.
