Abstract
In this paper, we report on the outcomes of a study that was designed to explore the significant characteristics of a nursing professional development programme, which was perceived as having a successful outcome in terms of student attrition, academic attainment, practice development, and motivation for study. We provide a rational for the study, and an outline of the research design. An overview of the process of change and development experienced by the student participants is provided, followed by a detailed exploration of the characteristics of the learning experience found to be most significant in driving and sustaining that process. From the outcomes of this study, we draw tentative conclusions, and suggest recommendations for professional learning in higher education and further research.
