Abstract
Aim: The effects of COVID-19 have brought numerous changes in society in the past several months.

Result: Three major themes were generated from the experiences of the participants namely: (1) 'lack of teacher-student interaction' (2) 'digital literacy and technical issues' and (3) 'curriculum structure and programme quality'. The study's benefits will enable the nurse faculties to realise and conceptualise ways and means to mitigate the challenges in conducting online teaching since the effects of COVID-19 continue to increase. Nurse faculties must prepare various strategies approach to deliver education without compromising their quality.
