Default Re: Can and does the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner delegate any tasks?
Psych NPs are employed to do various jobs. What they can delegate depends on what their job is, and where they work. If they see patients in a hospital, they write orders and the hospital staff carries them out, just as if they were psychiatrists seeing patients there.
