I'm starting Enrolled Nursing next year with a view (very cliche I know) to work in theatre. I heard that ENs are being used less these days in emergency because they possess less skills/training than RN, does this apply to theatre as well?

Hi I know een can work in theatre at private hospitals . Not sure about public . I did a clinical placement in a private and was lucky enough to watch a ceaser . The theatre scout was an een but she had to do some other course skill training as well .

im almost finished my diploma ... I know you def can but I think its going to be hard :(

I think this is an area a lot of people want to get into and also you probably wont be able to get in unless you have 1 year experience from the job ads ive seen
