•The COVID-19 pandemic has made distance nursing education compulsory.•Nursing students can gain professional values through distance education.•Distance education positively affects students' perceptions of the nursing profession. To determine the effects of using case scenarios and skill videos in distance education as a practical teaching–learning strategy on student satisfaction, professional perception, and professional values among nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a quasi-experimental study with a one-group, pretest–post-test design. The study was conducted with 166 baccalaureate nursing students who attended online classes for 13 weeks, which included 80-minute theoretical and 120-minute practical training each week. A Student Information Form, the Student Satisfaction Scale-Short Form, the Nursing Profession Perception of Scale (NPPS), and the Nurses’ Professional Values Scale-Revised (NPVS-R). We found significant differences between the students’ pre- and post-test scores for the scales NPPS and the NPVS-R (p < .05), who attended online classes during the pandemic. However, our findings demonstrated that distance education had no effect on the level of student satisfaction (p > .05). The using case scenarios and skill videos in distance education as a strategy to deliver nursing course during the pandemic showed positive effects on the adoption of professional values and the perception about nursing profession among nursing students.
