Abstract
The article “Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Critical Care Essentials course for nurses: development and implementation of an education and implementation of an education program for healthcare professionals” reviews the learning experience of rapidly upskilling registered nurses (RNs) for redeployment into critical care duties during the COVID-19 pandemic, via online education. Whilst respondents were favourable to the online educational model, Jordan et al. (2020) have overlooked the reality and importance of synthesising learning in the clinical practice environment when transitioning RNs into critical care for the first time. Redeployed nurses may feel under-prepared despite online education prior to redeployment.
