Which is funny, because in Adelaide we only have EN's and RN's .. we dont have to my understanding, EEN's, thats more brissy, perth, melbourne i think.

EEN's have had extra training to be allowed to administer drugs and i think under the supervision of a RN or a RN has to be on the premises. ENs can also obtain their medication endorsement through TAFE colleges if they wish.
