How it's used
Professional titles in Hong Kong often follow the exact English terminology, making this a direct translation of the Western qualification. It is specifically used to distinguish from enrolled nurses, who have different training requirements and scope of practice. You will frequently see this term on hospital staff badges or in recruitment advertisements for the Hospital Authority.
