Data were analyzed using description statistics and Multiple Regression. Results: The overall learning outcomes was high (M = 4.06, SD = .62) and professional nursing practice skills (M = 3.98, SD = .57), overall satisfaction was high (M = 3.84, SD = .70). Regression analysis show satisfaction with teaching-learning methods that promote critical thinking could explained 44% of the variance in learning outcomes among nursing student (R2 = .44, p < .001). Conclusion: The “new normal” teaching-learning model post-COVID-19 was satisfactorily implemented to achieve student learning outcomes.
