The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global pandemic since March 2020. In April 2020, the pandemic preventions in China had become routines. Social distancing and restrictive movement policies have brought challenges to traditional educational practices. Clinical practice for nursing students has also changed as a result of the imposed preventive measures. This article analyzes a range of adaptations caused by the pandemic in clinical study arrangements, including improving teaching management capabilities, ensuring a safe and healthy teaching environment, innovating mixed and diversified clinical teaching methods, focusing on the training of nursing students communication and psychological support, and promoting the combination of virtual and clinical practice. A reflection on the arrangements is made focusing on prevention and comprehensive coordination under the situation of normalized COVID-19 prevention. The experiences gained under the pandemic contexts will inform the establishment of a more open, more inclusive and more flexible clinical learning system in the post-pandemic time.
