Abstract (summary)
Many institutions of higher education were caught unprepared for the consequences of covid-19 on program
delivery and completion; notably schools of nursing with clinical practicums. The purpose of senior clinical
practicums is to foster nursing students’ readiness for practice. A practicum offers the students the opportunity to
engage in advocacy and leadership, respond effectively and efficiently to changes in client status, navigate and
mitigate ambiguity in the healthcare system and partner with interdisciplinary team members to ensure a holistic
approach. The disruption of face-to-face programming required schools of nursing to quickly redesign courses to
ensure learning outcomes were met and students would successfully graduate prepared to enter their practice. The
intent of this article is to share the lived realities of nursing students and faculty members during the implementation
of a redesigned course during the pandemic crisis.
