Therefore, the current study aimed to assess Nursing students' perception and achievement regarding unplanned shifting the Traditional Classroom-Based to Online Distance Learning as a result of (COVID-19) social distancing measures.

H1: Learning perception is lower for nursing students who learned by unplanned Online Distance Learning (μ1) than for those who learned by Traditional Classroom-Based learning (μ2), (H1: μ1 \< μ2).

H1: Scholar achievement is greater for nursing students who learned by Traditional Classroom-Based learning (μ1) than for those who learned by unplanned Online Distance Learning (μ2), (H1: μ1 \> μ2).

A quasi-experimental research design will be utilized in the current study with a comparative approach.

A purposive sample of adult male and female bachelor's students of nursing will be asked to participate in the current study.

Three tools will be adopted to collect data relevant to the current study.

1. A brief demographic self-administrated questionnaire
2. Students' Learning Perception Questionnaire (SLPQ),
3. Modified McVay's Readiness for Online Learning Questionnaire
