Abstract
Van Gennep's Rites de Passage and Bridge's work on organisational change were combined to theoretically analyse participants' accounts of transition. This illustrated that transition is not always linear with clearly defined and bounded stages but can also be seen as a more undulating or organic process with curving, slanting and overlapping phases. NQNs can therefore simultaneously occupy more than once phase in their journey of transition. Implications for students, higher education and practice are highlighted.
