Thank you for your time

Hello all,

Annette firstly great to see a fellow Australian on the site.


To answer the Enrolled Nurse question please read below.


Levels of Nursing in Australia

AIN = Assistant In Nursing / Personal Care Assistant

EN = Enrolled Nurse / Studied most of the Registered Nurse course via a goverment contractor or private facility.
Allowed to do most things a Registered Nurse can except give medications.
However can be up graded to Endorsed Enrolled Nurse allowing one to give medications but not give drugs of addiction.

RN = Registered Nurse / University qualified 3 yrs full time Uni 1 yr post graduate in a facility.

Hope this helps

Regards,
