title: Implementing a nursing program via live interactive video: lessons learned.
abstract: Flexibility in scheduling and sensitivity to meeting the educational needs of today's diverse student population is a must in nursing education. The authors present an overview of how a college of nursing implemented an entire generic BSN program via live interactive television for nursing students 45 miles from the main campus. The authors describe the experience of initiating the program, facilitating faculty and student adaptation to the challenges of live interactive video education, and a summary of the first five years.
