A PMHNP can often practice autonomously. In 27 states, nurse practitioners (NPs) already diagnose and treat with no physician involvement, and in 19 states prescribe medications independently. This is in contrast to 2008, when nurse practitioners could autonomously diagnose and treat in 23 states, and could only prescribe in 12 states.
A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse who has completed graduate-level education and advanced-practice training. Nurse practitioners can see a wide range of patients, both well and sick, and perform many in-office procedures.
