'where abroad a state enrolled' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'nurse is out to get married' is the wordplay.
'nurse' becomes 'sen' (abbreviation for Senior Enrolled Nurse).
'is out' indicates putting letters inside.
'to get married' becomes 'wed' ('wed' can be a synonym of 'get married').
'sen' going around 'wed' is 'SWEDEN'.
