i think nurses can give you medical advice and diagnoses. the psychologist will have more expertise in the area. similar but the psychologist will have a better understanding.

glad you noticed lol.
Yes the one of the participant have given the right difinition of the difference between a mental health nurse and physician I guess the physician is more qulified then the nurse...
Look at the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist, only the latter is a doctor. The nurse acts in a support role to this practician.
