title: Vulnerable patients deserve regulated care.
abstract: Ask nurses of a certain age about changes to the profession over the past 30 years or so and many will refer with dismay to the demise of enrolled nurses (ENs). For younger readers or those whose memories have faded, ENs completed a two-year, apprentice-style training programme before going on to deliver highly practical hands-on care.
