Abstract

The global COVID-19 pandemic resulted in abrupt changes in the delivery of health care and nursing education, particularly in highly affected areas of the country. Many hospitals suspended nursing students' learning on-site due to concerns related to virus transmission and lack of clear guidance on safe and effective learning. This Model C Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) direct entry MSN program needed to meet graduating students' capstone learning needs in a virtual format. A review of the literature along with CNL competencies and other American Association of Colleges of Nursing resources informed this evidence-based virtual capstone experience. Students achieved learning outcomes in a virtual format and reported high levels of satisfaction with learning activities. Virtual learning activities were essential at the height of the pandemic and may prove useful in other circumstances that limit clinical site availability. These activities can also complement in-person learning experiences.
