    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Practice
    • Healthcare Workforce Dynamics
    • Professional Development

    Background:

    • Enrolled Nurse (EN) training ceased in 1992, leading to workforce changes.
    • Healthcare Assistants with National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) are increasingly employed.
    • The UKCC's Rule 18, defining EN scope of practice, is under review, creating uncertainty.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the experiences of Enrolled Nurses (ENs) who have converted to Registered General Nurses (RGNs).
    • To understand the implications of changing nursing roles and training on professional practice.
    • To assess the impact of regulatory reviews on nursing scope of practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey of Enrolled Nurses (ENs) who have completed conversion courses to become Registered General Nurses (RGNs).
