THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ENROLLED NURSE (EN) AND REGISTERED NURSE (RN):

In Australia there are two types of nurses ----- Enrolled Nurse (EN) and Registered Nurse (RN). 

The biggest difference is the qualification requirement for registration, the qualification requirement for RN registration is bachelor’s degree of Nursing, and for EN is Diploma of Nursing. In addition, an EN has less authority in a hospital, and they will work as part of a team, more than in a supervisory role. By contrast, RN will have more function in the development and creation of patient management and care plans.
