The ANMF met with Enrolled Nurses regarding the Change Impact Statement for Enrolled Nurses (ENs) on night duty. Members recognise the need for an EN on night shift and management are consulting staff on the change process.

Members reported that they have been given opportunity to give feedback to management if they are prepared to do night shift and if so, what their roster might look like.
