Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Graduate nursing students beginning their graduate education often lack technological preparedness when beginning the journey in a virtual e-learning environment. These gaps in preparedness include lack of understanding course delivery, accessing resources remotely, participating in asynchronous course activities, and use of emerging health care technologies. This article describes an educational innovative online orientation course that simulates course activities so that students get a true perspective of what e-learning entails. With enhanced education through the accelerated learning modules, students became proficient with distance education, which promotes success in an online master's of science in nursing program.
