Abstract
Background: National nursing organizations worldwide have called for the inclusion of digital tools in nursing curricula to prepare future nurses to use digital tools in their professional practice. Objective: This study explored the experiences of nursing faculty with respect to integrating digital tools in their teaching to support undergraduate student learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This study was a focused ethnography featuring semi-structured interviews, field notes, and artifacts. Data were analyzed concurrently with data collection, using thematic analysis. A total of 21 participants from nine undergraduate nursing programs in Western Canada were interviewed as part of a larger study. This paper focuses on the 12 participants who were interviewed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: This paper discusses four themes related to faculty experiences using digital tools to support student learning during the COVID-19 pandemic: (1) the pandemic, (2) enablers, (3) challenges, and (4) learners. Faculty quickly transitioned from in-person to remote and virtual teaching, changing how they engaged with digital tools. Faculty were responsive and collectively rose to the challenges they faced, which suggests their agility and willingness to embrace informatics. Conclusion: The pandemic created an impetus for nursing faculty to utilize more digital tools to sustain the continuity of education. Further support and resources are needed to increase faculty informatics capacity in a more systematic way.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
