ahhhhhhhhh ok so i have to be a registered nurse to work in the us as thats our 3 year training course here (bachalor of nursing its called) ty for the clarification. Also what is the exact name for lpn, bsn and adn pls

we have community nursing here in aust. rdns is royal district nursing service and they do alot of community visits when people still need that bit of extra care at home after a hospitlisation..........

thanx for the info but that still doesnt really tell me what the diff titles of nursing staff are: eg ENG is our enrolled general nurse which is 18 months training and then we have our RN is a registered nurse and then they go on to other training if they wish to specialise in a specific field of nursing ens can go into specialised nursing within their scope of practice too................the pca is a personal care assistant aka nurse assistant they only have a certificate in aged care or disabilities and can only work in nursing homes or disabled homes, they do not work in our hospitals unless they are asked to do a special which is just supervision of a client whilst in hospital but only do basic adl care and other treatments/ procedures are performed by a enrolled nurse and the registered nurse. The enrolled nurse is accountable but the registered nurse is responsible and the senior nurse on the wards

when we say mucking around we usally mean we are being very playful not in a sexual way though just in a fun way...................

hiya just wondering what a lpn actually is as im from asutralia and dont understand.i know rn is registered nurse but we have pca personal care worker and en enrolled nurse as titles for nursing the pca was the old nurse assistant classification here in aust.

im curious as to wat titles other countries have for their enrolled nurse................in australia we have registered nurses and those with specialties and then we have enrolled nurses followed by personal care workers (nurse assistants in the older years). sorry if its already been asked b4 but this is my first thread and time i have had since i joined for doing this. I have just finished our diploma of nursing ( post enrolment) course which is the new course for our certificate IV in nursing (enrolled Nursing). so i just wanted to add my worth:D

im aussie too and i agree with you our language is unique even between the states here...................... i am from adelaide the capital city of south australia...............city of churches as they call us;)
