A pandemic is outbreak of any infectious disease that spread
over very large area generally involving one or more continent.
Pandemic not only affects the health of population but also affects
nations growth and development. It affects the financial and
socioeconomic development of a country. It haults the progress of
nation and emerge as a biggest problem.
Whenever a pandemic occurs it usually results in restricting
activity of people outdoors and avoids gathering of
crowd. It mostly results in confining the people to
their home. Government takes measures such as lockdowns, curfews
and isolation to help control the disease. It results in shutting
down of restaurants, malls, theatres, religious places as well as
schools. As such people with different age groups, businesses and
students suffer heavy losses.
Lack of interaction between students and teachers is a great
difficulty in education sector and students starts lagging.
During my nursing education COVID 19 outbreak took place. It is an
infectious disease caused by coronavirus. It led to widespread
lockdown in different countries and shutting down of schools,
colleges and other intitutions.
During the pandemic it became difficult for me to study and
complete my chapters without guidance and teachings of my
professors. But then I started taking help from the technology and
started joining online classes. In these classes the teachers would
teach all the subjects and also help solve the queries. Some
application system allowed for taking group educational sessions by
the teachers.
I also started reading the e books from my syllabus which was also
very helpful.
I also took help from tutorials available online to learn
better.
I started making use of mobile phones, emails and chats to stay in
touch with other students and the teachers that helped me in my
education.
