However within the healthcare environment it can be often perceived as hard to decipher the blurred grey line between the RN and the EN from a scope of practice perspective. It is the accountability and legal requirement for the EN to disclose the notation to their employer, as previously the title Endorsed Enrolled Nurse EEN was used to decipher this difference. As a result of the changes the NMBA has removed this title.
Working together The EN works alongside the RN at all times within the context of care and demonstrates competence in the delivery of person-centred care in accordance with the decision making framework, which is based in competence.
It is the context of care that can then blur the lines of scope of practice within the varying healthcare environments. For example an EN can expand their scope of practice and administer IV medication once they have completed the appropriate elective unit of study, their aligning pre-requisite components and then deemed competent to do so.
However if the employers governing policies and procedures do not allow ENs to administer IV medication then it is the ENs responsibility to abide within the scope of practice governed by that of the employer. Another example where an EN can expand their scope of practice would be within the regional, rural and remote environment due to the workforce availability and capacity compared to that of a metropolitan area.
In order to provide optimal and safe patient centred care, it is within the healthcare environment where health professionals and their employers need to ensure that scope of practice is clearly articulated and that in particular the RN and EN work together harmoniously towards this common goal.

Hi, I would like to know if I take the enrolled nurse course I will probably be doing it at TAFE And then I decide to go to Univeristy and do a BN to be an Enrolled nurse, might it be that the degree takes 2 years instead of 3 because of some experience I already have?
You may like to think about moving on from this career, some transferable skills can be utilised in roles such as;. Endorsed Enrolled Nurse. Job Description. Philippa says the big difference between an EN and an RN is the scope of practice and that RNs have the option to consider postgraduate study.
This month course is run at the Frankston and Berwick campuses by clinically current educators, in facilities that replicate hospital environments.
Chisholm offers the degree in partnership with Latrobe University, which allows students to continue their education on-campus at Chisholm. Philippa says nurses wages depend years of experience, level of responsibility and the shifts they work.
A circular went around my hosp about a month ago with a list of competancies I can never spell that word, you should hear me pronounce it! But no extra pay and we have to pay to do the courses just like the endorsment. If I wanted to have that level of responibility I'd have done the RN course. Next thing you know they'll want us to do in charge too!!
Apr 26, And, on the flip side, some Div 1's ask why they bothered with doing a degree if the Div 2's can do pretty much everything they can. At least the courses, if you choose to do them, are tax deductable, but I agree - this expanding scope of practice is out of some Div 2's comfort zone, and opens the door further for unlicensed staff to perform basic nursing care.
Where I work Div 2's don't cannulate in fact, lots of Div 1's, including me, don't either - but at least my work provides the training and for free. They can catheterise women and insert NGs if they're comfortable doing so, but there's no course involved. Sign In Register Now!
