Abstract
At a general level there is a range of workers undertaking what can be described as nursing work. The groups we are primarily interested in are registered and enrolled nurses; it is these groups that are the product of nursing education in either higher education (the universities) or in vocational education and training, respectively. In some situations these groups are broken into finer classifications such as nurse educators, nurse practitioners and nurse managers. In addition, there are a range of care workers that are involved in nursing work labelled generically as trained care assistants including assistants in nursing, personal care assistants, aged person carer, and disabled persons carer.
