[help] About psychiatric NP role, scope.

[carecure]

Hello everybody.

Can anybody define the role scope of Psychiatric NP in detail?

such as..

- psy np can prescribe these drugs...

- psy np can not prescribe these drugs..

- psy np can do this

- psy np can not do this (such as, unique territory of doctor .. )

Actually, I am writing an article about Psych NP role in University in Korea.

There is very little document resource for me to find here, so I am having difficulties writing the article.

On the internet, I could find out General role of NP, but it was very hard to find out in detail. (such as what i listed above) - and another problem is .. "my web serfing on English web pages is very poor... "

I'll very appreciate if any body send any document about this. (or just some comments, replies, links will be very welcomed.. )

thanks.

Try looking for info on Psychiatric APRN's(Advanced Practice Registered Nurses.) Contact the American Nurse's Association(ANA). I think they publish a pamphlet on the scope and practice of Psych. N.P.'s/APRN's. Good luck. Remember the details are different from state to state.
