Abstract
• Over the last decade, nursing in the United Kingdom has witnessed a major development and expansion in the number of Clinical Nurse Specialists.• These nurses are considered to be experts in their own specialities, have in‐depth knowledge and provide a service for patients, relatives and staff.• There is, however, a paucity of literature relating to role transition from experienced Staff Nurse to Clinical Nurse Specialist.• Using Nicholson's (1984) model of work‐role transition and Wanous' (1992) four‐stage model of organizational socialization, this study explores the transition of two nurses from experienced Staff Nurses to novice Clinical Nurse Specialists.
