title: Balancing technology with face-to-face interaction: navigating the path to psychiatric nursing education at a distance.
abstract: In 2008, we created a program that incorporated pedagogical approaches to support distance education for graduate psychiatric mental health nursing students in Indiana and adjacent states. This narrative provides a brief description of the five initiatives we originally proposed, our experiences with them, and future plans as our program continues to evolve.
