Executing an effective clinical practicum experience for distance learners requires systems to be in place to ensure that all students receive a quality clinical experience and meet course and program objectives. Key to achieving these successful outcomes is recognizing and overcoming the challenges involved in designing graduate practica for Master of Science in nursing candidates. A systematic approach is presented for consideration.

Summary
There is a paucity of writing about the special issues of online professional nursing education that has a curricular mandate to provide a clinical experience for students. This may be the greatest faculty challenge: to provide the student with a meaningful clinical experience at a distance. Challenges to online learning require that students be self-directed and organized with good time management and writing skills in order to be successful. Educators experience some of the same advantages, and are challenged by continuously evolving technology and increased time commitments for course design and student communications. We would like to share the lessons learned from our experiences in managing the online clinical component of a multi-specialty graduate nursing program.
