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

'make notes' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'nurse attempts' is the wordplay.
'nurse' becomes 'en' (abbreviation for enrolled nurse).
'attempts' becomes 'tries' ('try' can be a synonym of 'attempt').
'en'+'tries'='ENTRIES'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entries that I've seen before include "Portals" , "Items inserted in written records" , "Gateways" , "Submissions to competition" , "Items inserted in a written record" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
