Abstract	Since the 1990s, online learning and distance learning have proliferated rapidly. The purpose of this study was to explore recruiters' perceptions regarding nurses with online degrees versus face-to-face (f2f) degrees at the baccalaureate level. This study used a qualitative research approach with a phenomenological research design. A total of ten nurse recruiters were recruited to participate in online Zoom interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the findings. Eight themes representing recruiters' perceptions regarding nurses with online degrees versus f2f degrees at the baccalaureate level emerged from the qualitative data. Participants perceived that the nurses with online degrees tended to be technologically savvy, had critical thinking skills, and could accomplish tasks autonomously. Participants had different perceptions regarding the advantages of online education based on their own experiences of taking online classes. (As Provided).
