N2 - Background: Advanced-level nursing education is intended to prepare nurses for the pinnacle of their profession with curricular competencies defined by The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education.1 Methods: In place of the standard in-person Intensive Course Abroad (ICA) experience previously embedded in a global leadership course, a virtual global classroom was mutually designed and implemented to benefit two advanced-level nursing student populations due to the pandemic. Purpose: The purpose of this article is to address the identified gap in evidence illuminating how virtual global classrooms can enhance advanced-level graduate nursing education in preparing global nurse leaders. Results: The aim to fulfill course learning objectives and augment advanced-level nursing students’ clinical competence in global nursing practice was met beyond intended expectations. Conclusion: Pioneering of this innovative endeavor contributes to the growing body of knowledge about how virtual global classrooms can facilitate interprofessional education and augment preparation of culturally competent advanced-level nursing leaders.
