Background: In response to rural nursing shortages, some traditional on-campus bachelor of science in nursing degree programs have transitioned to a blended learning approach at satellite campuses. This significant shift requires an understanding of how students view the learning activities involved in skills training. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess students in an education program in Southern Norway regarding their satisfaction in and self-confidence with skills training using blended learning. The program was hosted at satellite campuses of two universities. Methods: For this cross-sectional study, 54 students completed a Student Satisfaction and Self-confidence in Learning scale and open-ended questions. Quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and qualitative data assessed using content analysis. Results: Students who completed skills training reported high levels of satisfaction with the learning activities and support from their teachers. In addition, they demonstrated high self-confidence in practicing skills. Conclusion: The current findings indicate that students appreciate blended learning strategies and the availability of skills training on satellite campuses along with supportive teaching practices. © 2025 The Authors
