The primary difference between an enrolled nurse (EN) and a registered nurse (RN) lies in their level of education and scope of practice. Enrolled nurses typically complete a diploma program and work under the supervision of registered nurses, providing basic patient care and support. In contrast, registered nurses hold a higher degree, usually a bachelor's degree in nursing, and have a broader scope of practice, which includes critical thinking, assessment, and care planning responsibilities. RNs can also take on specialized roles and have more opportunities for advancement in the healthcare field.
