Abstract

Aim: To investigate the experiences of registered nurses’ lived experiences in the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic crisis in a government hospital in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia. Design: Qualitative descriptive phenomenology. Methods: Utilizing in-depth interviews with twenty registered nurses with the use of purposive sampling from September to December 2020. Data was analyzed using Colaizzi methods, and a COREQ checklist was utilized to report the study’s results. Results: The participants' narratives generated three major themes, namely: ‘one foot below the ground’, ‘the nightingale pledge’; and ‘hope beyond COVID-19’. The lived experiences of Registered Nurses throughout the pandemic brought by the COVID-19 virus increase a person's understanding of the phenomenon under investigation and plan collective actions to improve the nurses' welfare. The unique challenges faced by Registered Nurses as they carry out their duties in a variety of healthcare settings can be better appreciated if their experiences are taken into account. Nursing administrations all around the world can use the findings of this research to create safeguards for their staff.
