Abstrakt: Aims and Objectives: The study aimed to determine the impact of clinical nurses' experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic on their learning agility and readiness for other future pandemics.
Background: It is important that nurses have high learning agility so they can successfully adapt their experience to COVID-19 and other pandemics that may occur in the future. This will positively affect the readiness of nurses to fight against possible future pandemics.
Design: The study is cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational research.
Methods: The study was carried outby data collection from 383 nurses. Data were collected via online survey using social media. The study methods were followed by the STORBE guidelines.
Results: The average score of nurses on the Marmara Learning Agility Scale was 4.07 ± .030. The level of readiness of nurses for new pandemics was 96.1%. Positive but weak correlations were found between the effect of nurses' experiences in the COVID-19 pandemic with their readiness for potential future pandemics and their learning agility.
Conclusions: It was observed that nurses have high learning agility, gained experience during the COVID-19 pandemic and these experiences affected their readiness for other potential future pandemics.
Relevance to Clinical Practice: Health institutions to develop learning agility to support career management, manager selection and performance improvement for clinical nurses.
