The role for nurses in community-based treatment of mental illness is projected to be more collaborative with other health care professionals. As of now, due to inadequate preparation during basic nursing education, few nurses operate solely in this collaborative role. However, as nursing education places a greater emphasis on community-based interventions, nurses will no longer be limited to task-based activities, such as administering medication, and will return to their role as collaborator.
