N.A.V.Y. Strategies for Change in the New Normal Nursing Education

Abstract

            The ongoing coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak has led to change in people’s lifestyles as a new normal life, including teaching and learning methods that should harmonize with evolving situations and to enable students to achieve expected learning outcomes.
            N.A.V.Y. are the strategies that the Royal Thai Navy College of Nursing (RTNCN) has adopted during the past transition crisis, including:
            N: New Normal Policy (Setting up the new educational management policy).
            A: Academic Assessment (Development of a learning assessment approach).
            V: Virtual Learning (Promoting the use of virtual technology for learning).
            Y: Youth and Moral Values (Instilling moral values in a new normal life).
            These strategies are applied as a guideline for the management of new nursing education in response to the nursing students in the 21^st century and possess the desirable characteristics of nursing graduates.
