Graduate level nursing programs are having increasing difficulty obtaining clinical sites for their students. Nurse practitioner (NP) students need a minimum of 500 direct care hours in addition to indirect hours. Simulation experiences may not be used as direct patient care hours for NP students, but telehealth experiences may be used if the focus is on obtaining similar competencies to what would be acquired with face-to-face patient experiences. One college of nursing adapted several opportunities for NP students to acquire indirect clinical experiences and specific NP competencies during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Several different clinically focused teaching methodologies were planned and implemented. These varied by NP specialty track and included complex case analyses, virtual (Zoom) rounds, well-child cases, and objective structured clinical examinations. These adapted clinical experiences are effective methods of helping students acquire clinical competencies and skills; however, they bring their own challenges. Post-COVID may be a time of new beginnings, moving nursing education forward on finding new and better ways to ensure that students acquire clinical competencies. What the new normal will be for nursing education is yet to be determined, but nursing education will likely never return to where we were before the pandemic.

Department of Neurosurgery, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, USA.
Purpose: Pituitary adenomas, despite their histologically benign nature, can severely impact patients' quality of life due to hormone hypersecretion. Invasion of the medial wall of the cavernous sinus (MWCS) by these tumors complicates surgical outcomes, lowering biochemical remission rates and increasing recurrence. This study aims to share our institutional experience with the selective resection of the MWCS in endoscopic pituitary surgery.
