Nursing education is a practice profession that requires nursing students to participate in clinical learning. The COVID-19 pandemic forced nurse educators to review alternative methods of instruction. The purpose of this quantitative one-group pretest/posttest study was to examine whether web-based simulated learning is associated with improved student self-confidence and satisfaction compared to face-to-face simulated learning in associate degree nursing students. The problem addressed in this study was that nursing students in associate degree nursing programs were experiencing challenges in finding face-to-face clinical learning options. A convenience sample, of 21 nursing students, was included in this study. The data collection method was the Educational Practice Survey created by the National League of Nursing. The survey measured student satisfaction and self-confidence. Data analysis was performed using a t-test and a non-parametric alternative, the Mann-Whitney test. The data analysis software used in this study test is SPSS. The results suggest that there is a significant change in satisfaction and self-confidence when participants participate in face-to-face simulated learning. On the other hand, the Man-Whitney results also show no significant difference in satisfaction and self-confidence scores of students who participate in web-based simulated learning. Future research should consist of qualitative research designs to examine student thoughts on simulated learning and to gain deeper insight into the student recommendations for improvement in the simulated learning environment. Additionally, a qualitative research design will help future researchers identify themes associated with web-based and face-to-face simulated learning. To improve the generalizability of the study, it is recommended to increase the sample size and include a variety of pre-licensure nursing programs.
