Abstract (summary)
Nursing education programs are developed intentionally and thoroughly to ensure students successfully transition to
practice as competent, compassionate, ethical and safe healthcare professionals. Nursing faculty designing both
programs of study and individual courses consider congruence of scaffolded concepts, the current landscape of
healthcare, and anticipate trends and issues in healthcare delivery and nursing practice to ensure graduates are
prepared. The pandemic caught many higher education institutions unawares and this was especially true of nursing
as a practice profession. This educational innovation, in response to the health restrictions imposed by the health
authority and educational institution, was developed to ensure students enrolled in their final practicum were not
only able to graduate, but had the necessary knowledge, skills, attitudes and attributes to thrive.
