This paper presents the results of an appreciative inquiry social research project that analysed three distinct studies about the Nursing student experience. The secondary analysis informed a transformation of the findings into positive possibilities for change in Nursing academia. Using appreciative inquiry, the findings of the three studies were examined in order to discover existing organisational strengths, and to dream of the transformation, and destiny that could be. Although each study uncovered variations in Nursing Education from a different perspective, three common principles of: embracing diversity, empowering, and esteeming emerged. These transformational principles will be presented through an appreciative inquiry methodology.
