There are two levels of nurse in Australia, Registered Nurse (Also known as Division 1) and Enrolled Nurse (Aka Division 2).
To become an RN, you must complete a Bachelor of Nursing (or equivalent) and complete a post-graduate Masters in Nursing. The Bachelor of Nursing is usually 3 years in duration and includes theory, practical lab classes and clinical practicums.
To become an EN, you must complete either a Certificate IV or Diploma in Nursing (at an RTO, commonly a TAFE) which is usually between 12-18 months in duration.
It is possible at some institutions to gain entry into a Bachelor or Nursing after completing your EN education, and enroll in a "conversion course" which takes between 3-12 months off the total time it takes to complete the degree.
Most nurses in Australia are of the RN kind.
