• Change and transition are different concepts. • Transition for practitioners in the workplace is complex. • Transition within roles needs a positive tripartite arrangement with teacher and clinical manager. • This paper looks at the findings from a study of 100 enrolled nurses undertaking a part‐time conversion programme to RGN, RMN or RSCN. • Evidence suggests that student perceptions change over time within a 2‐year programme. • This conversion programme is seen as a positive experience by participants and employers.
