Information was obtained from six (6) new graduate nurses turned nurse educators after few months or a year of graduating and passing the licensure examination and have been practicing the profession for not more than two (2) years. Participants were selected using purposive sampling technique. The researchers personally interviewed the participants using a tape recorder. Data was analyzed through Colaizzi’s method. The study concludes that the experiences of the participants in the transitional process from being college nursing students to nurse educators is important in understanding how a person crosses to a new kind of life and real life situations.
