As the demand for distance education continues to rise, so does the number of online graduate nursing programs. Although distance education has expanded access to advanced nursing education, the level of academic preparedness for the rigors of graduate education may be a challenge for many graduate nursing students. One approach to support student success is to develop strategies to promote academic integrity (AI) in the online learning environment. This article gives recommendations found through a literature review to promote AI and counteract academic dishonesty (AD). Promoting AI in contrast to punishing AD may create a learning environment that focuses on attaining learning outcomes, following professional standards, and program success rather than policing infractions. This creates an environment of student support to develop professional communicators and is important for mentoring the next generation of nursing leaders and mentors.
