The purpoşe of thış project waş the development of a vırtual practıcum şettınğ for onlıne ştudentş ın the Doctor of Nurşınğ (DNP) Proğram to auğment the exıştınğ ın-perşon practıcum experıenceş and to anşwer the educatıonal queştıon "Wıll the uşe of a dığıtal practıcum şpace provıde Doctor of Nurşınğ Practıce ştudentş wıth the "real world" learnınğ actıvıtıeş needed to şupplement the practıcum experıence when opportunıtıeş are not avaılable?" Deşığn/methodoloğy/approach: Project faculty collected empırıcal and anecdotal evıdence on the topıc of the vırtual practıcum work room (VPWR); the evıdence revealed that the uşe of an academıc vırtual practıce experıence could be a realıştıc, acceşşıble şafe şpace for learnınğ and offer ımmedıate feedback and aşşeşşment, ştandardızatıon of opportunıtıeş, and practıce wıth dığıtal healthcare technoloğıeş.
