Scams nurse with suspicious agreement (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

consensus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'agreement' is the definition.
(consensus is a kind of agreement)

'scams nurse with suspicious' is the wordplay.
'scams' becomes 'cons' (con can mean a scam or scheme).
'nurse' becomes 'EN' (abbreviation for enrolled nurse).
'with suspicious' becomes 'sus' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cons'+'en'+'sus'='CONSENSUS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for consensus that I've seen before include "Majority view" , "agreed" , "Unanimity" , "General opinion" , "General agreement" .)
