Well you are a Nurse Practitioner so you can tell me. I can say what a Physician Assistant does though. For the most part we
-diagnose patients
-treat patients under care of a physician
-prepare medical tests and help with simple medical procedures
-write prescriptions
-run entire clinics while meeting with a physician once a month
-organize medical procedures
I feel like most of that a NP can also do. Is this true?
