Yes, Enrolled Nurses can advance their careers by undertaking further education. Many universities offer pathways for ENs to complete a Bachelor of Nursing, taking into account their prior learning and experience, which may reduce the duration of the degree. EN’s still need to complete the Bachelor of Nursing, but their Diploma studies may be recognised, reducing the length of training.

Practical experience is crucial in nursing, and employers love meeting nursing graduates who have already shown a commitment to gaining additional practical experience. While clinical placements are part of your study, there are other ways to gain practical skills, including:

  • Clinical placements: Mandatory placements during your studies.
  • Hop shifts: Working as an Assistant in Nursing (AIN) or Personal Care Worker (PCW) while studying.
  • Volunteering: Giving your time to community health initiatives or volunteering at healthcare facilities.
Employers highly value candidates with hands-on experience in addition to their qualifications.
