Brief Answer:
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner can work under a non psychiatric doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hi....
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor " Service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

Psychiatric nurse practitioners firstly do the four year nursing program to become a registered nurse.
They later go for a two to four year nurse practitioner course that focuses on mental healthcare to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner.

Laws governing nurse practitioner's responsibilities vary from state to state.
Some states provide them authority to provide care equivalent to a psychiatrist doctor and some don't.

But yes....A Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner can work underneath a non psychiatric physician medical director (because they are a qualified registered nurse with an extended qualification).
This is a constant regulation in all states.

Hope that I have answered your query.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards..
