The COVID-19 pandemic created many academic challenges. Shelter in place orders forced educational institutions to move on-ground learning to an online format. This necessitated transitioning traditional in-person events such as nursing residency to a virtual occurrence. Currently, there is a paucity of research to assist with transition to the virtual environment.
The purpose of this study was to explore faculty experiences transitioning to a virtual Doctor of Nursing Practice residency.
A qualitative descriptive design was used to explore faculty experiences with virtual residency. The sample included 11 nursing faculty. Data collection consisted of answering demographic and open-ended questions through an anonymous survey.
Content analysis revealed two themes: (1) Essence of Residency was Missing and (2) Virtual Residency was an Acceptable Alternative.
Based on these themes, recommendations for virtual residency improvement were identified that would be beneficial to both faculty and students, providing a better environment and enhanced virtual experience.
Results from this research begin building a foundation of knowledge for best practices when creating an academic nursing virtual event. Recommendations focus on ways to form a better virtual community, promote a relaxed scholarly environment, and uphold academic standards.
新冠疫情带来了诸多学术挑战。就地避难令迫使教育机构将线下教学转移到线上模式。这就需要将传统的实地活动，如护理住院医师培训，转变为虚拟活动。目前，几乎没有研究可以帮助向虚拟环境过渡。
本研究旨在探讨教师在向虚拟护理实践住院医师培训过渡方面的经验。
采用定性描述性设计来探索教师在虚拟住院医师培训方面的经验。样本包括 11 名护理教师。数据收集包括通过匿名调查回答人口统计学和开放式问题。
内容分析揭示了两个主题：（1）住院医师培训的本质缺失，（2）虚拟住院医师培训是一种可接受的替代方式。
基于这些主题，确定了虚拟住院医师培训改进的建议，这将对教师和学生都有益，为他们提供更好的环境和增强的虚拟体验。
本研究的结果为创建学术护理虚拟活动时制定最佳实践提供了知识基础。建议侧重于如何形成更好的虚拟社区、促进轻松的学术环境以及坚持学术标准。
