Purpose: The implementation of online learning during Covid-19 presents challenges especially for nursing education. Nurse students during online learning did not receive enough opportunities to learn clinical skill.  Blended learning becomes an alternative in nursing education during Covid-19 pandemic because it offers both face-to-face and online learning.

After blended learning program, they were asked to fill an online questionnaire. 10 students were also invited to join interview.

Results: The results confirmed that students are satisfied with the interaction (M=3.77, SD=.783), instruction (M=4.04, SD=.794), instructor (M=3.88, SD=.685), and course management (M=4.06, SD=.657) of blended learning implementation. However, in terms of technology the students are neither satisfied nor dissatisfied (M=3.41, SD=.800) with blended learning program.

Conclusion: This study concluded that blended learning could be used as an alternative teaching and learning approach for nursing education especially in Covid-19 pandemic era.
