I am Currently an Endorsed Enrolled nurse doing my bachelor of nursing to becoming an registered nurse. So while I m on placement I am a student. I have been nursing for over 20 yrs. Please describe being a current nurse to being a student and taking instructions from registered nurses. How I had to remove my current status as an endorsed enrolled nurse to become a student and the difficulties I had to face and daily challenges as a student being watched when I do medications and procedures on patients. Registered nurses hold more responsibilities how that will impact on me when I become a registered nurse and more rewarding.
