The Enrolled Nurse (EN) Workforce Scoping Tool has been developed to assist organisations interested in the Enrolled nurse mapping project. It is not obligatory to use this tool but it has resources to support the profiling of the nurse workforce, with particular emphasis on scoping and reporting the capacity for employment of ENs at unit and agency levels.
