The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has disrupted and overwhelmed academia, adding many new challenges for nursing faculty. However, despite these challenges, nursing faculty at a small private university demonstrated resilience and innovation at the height of the acute phase of the crisis, transforming a traditional 2-day in-person Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) practicum to an abbreviated, interactive virtual format.
A qualitative study was conducted to explore DNP student perceptions of the virtual practicum. An anonymous survey was created to gather participant feedback; the link was embedded in an email invitation to practicum participants.
The majority of respondents were English speaking, middle-aged, Black, non-Hispanic nurse practitioners. Content analysis revealed three themes: valuable interactions, supportive faculty, and enlightening feedback.
Despite the crisis and ensuing consequences of the pandemic, DNP students who participated in the virtual practicum described a meaningful and valuable experience. .

进行了一项定性研究，以探讨 DNP 学生对虚拟实习的看法。创建了一份匿名调查来收集参与者的反馈；该链接嵌入在实践参与者的电子邮件邀请中。
大多数受访者为讲英语的、中年的、黑人、非西班牙裔的执业护士。内容分析揭示了三个主题：有价值的互动、支持性的教师和启发性的反馈。
尽管存在危机和大流行带来的后果，但参加虚拟实习的 DNP 学生描述了一次有意义和有价值的经历。
