Healthcare systems are evolving to meet the demands of an aging population whereby the provision of healthcare services in the community has increased to alleviate the burden faced by acute care health facilities. As a result, the number of community nurses is expected to increase in order to meet the demand. Several studies have identified the unique challenges faced by the growing responsibilities of community nurses.

However, fewer studies focused on the experiences of nurses transitioning to become community nurses as they rise to meet the unique challenges of working in the community. This study aimed to explore the experiences of nurses’ transitions into community care while gaining insight into the transition process. The study adopted the exploratory qualitative approach. Data collection was performed through semi-structured interviews with 14 community nurses in Singapore.
