    This article's title is figurative, yet descriptive of the actual role progression to transition to NNP APRN from expert NICU RN. This includes change in care delivery to care provision. The change in experience includes a new phase of learning, with the expert nurse as a returning student. The daunting perspective of assuming new responsibilities combines with the need for assurance that one is ready for this new role, when tiny lives are at stake. The article acknowledges the experienced NICU nurse as able to collaborate in multidisciplinary teams, with the APRN role as the next phase of collaboration. The origins of NNP are discussed and theoretical aspects of role transition are described. The box on page 27 summarizes "Strategies for Transition", to help with educational and initial practice goals.
