Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a rapid transition from teaching in person to teaching in a virtual environment, which forced many nursing professional development practitioners unfamiliar with this methodology to quickly adapt and acquire new skills. This article describes a course created to ease nursing professional development practitioners' transition who suddenly found themselves teaching in this unfamiliar environment. The process described may be useful for other organizations transitioning to teaching in a virtual environment.
