The Center for Nursing Leadership (CNL) is a non-profit (501c3) organization that was founded in 1994. The CNL offers a non-traditional experiential learning experience to self-nominated nurse leaders annually. The purpose of this study was to describe, through an interview process, how the experience of participating in the CNL affected the personal and/or professional life journey as reported by individual CNL members who had attended the CNL experience at least twice. Using narrative analysis as a method of qualitative inquiry, eighteen participants were asked to describe their CNL experiences. Within the framework of social constructivism, the participants' stories revealed what the CNL experience has meant to them personally, while addressing four research questions. These were: what influences a nurse leader's decision to seek out the CNL experience; what were nurse leaders' perspectives about the influence of the CNL experiences on their life/career journey; how did nurse leaders describe their CNL community experiences; and how did nurse leaders describe their CNL learning experiences? Six themes emerged from the stories, which disclose the collective experience. These are: Sensing Readiness, Inviting Environment, Living Community, Renewing Self, Changing Life and Leadership and Reaching Out. Also included are stories of tension, disappointment, or struggles that the participants' experienced.

520 $a Implications for nurse administrators and nurse educators were presented. These included the need to increase awareness about learning readiness for themselves and their management team members; the importance of creating a pleasant environment of safety and culture of openness; consideration of an experiential-based approach which inspires renewal and personal and professional growth for a nursing leadership development experience; establishing new ways of teaching and mentoring the next generation of nurse leaders; integrating relationship-based and experiential methods into the everyday practices of nurse administrators and educators within their organizations. Ethical and policy considerations and areas for future research are offered.
