How enrolled nurses feel about conversion

Article Abstract:

In the UK nursing profession, training for the status of enrolled nurse (ENs) was stopped in 1992 and nursing positions have been filled in many areas by health-care assistants with National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs). There are many courses available for ENs wishing to convert to the role of registered nurse. A survey of ENs who have taken part in a conversion course shows that they mostly undertake the course to further their careers, while many express concern about the value of their qualifications.
