Enrolled nursing jobs on the Sunshine Coast FAQs
Enrolled nurses part of the healthcare industry, providing direct patient/resident care in an array of medical settings. The difference between an enrolled and registered nurse is their scope of practice - registered nurses have more responsibility than an enrolled nurse.
