Background: 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.
Method: With required modifications, PON was offered as an inaugural online synchronous course using the Zoom platform in its entirety.
Results: 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.
Conclusion: 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. .
