Abstract

In the digital era, online nursing education offers unprecedented opportunities for flexible learning, yet fostering a sense of community and engagement remains a challenge. This chapter explores the strategies to build robust communities in online nursing programs, focusing on creating emotional connections, active participation, and collaborative learning. Emotional Intelligence (EI) is emphasised as a crucial skill for both educators and students in fostering a supportive online environment. The integration of essential nursing topics such as chronic and acute conditions, into the online curriculum presents unique pedagogical opportunities and challenges. The chapter also examines the role of online education in advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to health and well-being. Finally, it highlights best practices in online teaching that support the development of emotional resilience, holistic care approaches, and interdisciplinary collaboration, all while preparing nursing professionals for the complexities of modern healthcare.
