Are registered nurse paid overtime?
My wife wants to go into nursing (mid-career change) and is deciding between the registered and enrolled nurse course sponsored by WDA.
Anyone here is in nursing? Do you think it's better to become an enrolled or registered nurse?
Also, is it true that registered nurse don't get overtime pay and need to work very long hours on a fixed pay?
Thank you very much.

Your wife should try to be a registered nurse, otherwise called staff nurse. ENs (enrolled nurse) or assistant nurse is somewhat limited and are not allowed to do certain things, eg. help in surgery.
Overtime depends on the pay structure of the hospital or clinic and not so much on the nurses.
