This quantitative, correlational study aimed to determine the nurses’ level of satisfaction on the flexible learning modality in the nursing orientation program at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) in Qatar during the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants were enrolled in the study using a total enumeration sampling technique which consists of all new nurses hired permanently by HMC from June 2020 until January 2021. The online questionnaire was distributed along with the informed consent/ research information tool and was completed by 212 out of 227 target participants. The survey was divided into these sections: the demographic profile, nurses’ level of satisfaction with the flexible learning modality, and their level of technical capability for flexible learning. Statistical treatment using frequencies, means, standard deviation, and Spearman’s rank correlation test was used to arrive at the research findings statistically. The study results revealed that nurses who joined HMC during the pandemic were highly satisfied with the nursing orientation program and highly capable of flexible learning. There is also a strong, positive relationship between the participants’ level of satisfaction and technical capability. Hence, an enhancement to nursing orientation programs can be developed based on the findings of the study. Keywords: [Nursing orientation, nursing education, web-based training, flexible learning]
