Abstract
A nursing didactic and clinical curriculum are missing essential affective experiences to foster a deeper connection to the art of nursing. The Power of Nursing (PON) course was identified as meeting this need. With the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic disruption, faculty gained the opportunity to adapt this discovery model course within the bounds of technology. With required modifications, PON was offered as an inaugural online synchronous course using the Zoom platform in its entirety. Participants described feelings of connectedness, an awareness of personal strengths as a health care provider, and a sense of safety and comfort within the virtual platform. Comparing in-person and virtual post-course surveys demonstrated that PON learning experiences can transcend both platforms. Currently, with COVID-19 and the need for such transformational experiences, students confirmed that PON can be offered virtually, eliciting the same positive responses to experiential exercises while filling a gap in nursing curricula.
