if you mean " what can a nurse do that a doctor can't":

the holistic support of your patient, being supportive and compassionate during a difficult/stressful time such as during a procedure or listening to your patient tell you their difficult life story and being understanding and sitting next to them and holding their hand and telling them that "we will get through this and that it is possible". "being there" for you patient after the doctor leaves the room after painful diagnosis and being available to family members 24/7 to help explain/teach and help understand something that an MD just said.
