The journey from nurse to advanced nurse practitioner: applying concepts of role transitioning.

This article explores nurse to advanced nurse practitioner transitional journeys, a concept that has not previously been researched in depth from an Irish perspective. The theories of Benner, Woods, and Bourdieu are reviewed to explore whether an advance practice career trajectory results in unique nurse-to-ANP role transitioning. Contextualising possible personal, professional and educational transitions may enable the promotion of effective career 'scaffolding' to enhance a smooth transition for aspiring ANPs into advanced nursing practice roles.
