Summary:•Nursing scholarship is a core competency from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing.•This pilot provided nurses with virtual learning for statistical analysis methods.•Nurses’ confidence in performing statistical analyses improved after attendance. Nurses often struggle to understand and perform statistical analyses on professional projects. A pre-post interventional design was utilized for a virtual statistics-based curriculum, where nurses received short lessons with remaining time spent on attendee questions. Surveys measured perceived confidence with statistical concepts and yielded significant improvements in attendees' confidence for performing statistical analyses. Nurses scored the programs as highly useful. The need for statistically focused professional development for nurses can be addressed by similar programs.
