Purpose: This study aims to examine the basic data of online practice nursing education after categorizing the subjective perceptions of online practice among nursing students and closely examining the characteristics of each type using the Q-methodology. Methods: The Q-methodology was used. The 34 Q-statements selected by each of the 40 participants were classified into a shape of normal distribution. Results: The online practice in the nursing practice was classified into the four following types: the “self-development emphasis,” “online practice beneficial,” “cognitive type of difficulty in online practice,” and “fear in case of being employed” types. Conclusion: The practice education content that is most similar to the clinical field training is expected to be developed when supplementing negative aspects and further reinforcing positive aspects in the online practice having been verified in this study.
