Incoming FY1 and ANP prescriptions: advice please!

About to start as an FY1 in a T+O department in the next few weeks which is staffed by ANPs exclusively overnight and during the day alongside the medical team. I am aware some ANPs have prescribing rights but was wondering what I should do if asked to prescribe- I am leaning towards following the BMA guidance of declining. Just anxious as I don't want to create more work for my other FY1 colleagues who will invariably pick up the slack. I'm also worried as I don't think Im the most prepared person for FY and worried this might cause issues which will mean the department is less friendly and more critical while I'm learning, and obviously know less about the current department than the ANPs at present.

Thank you in advance!

Edit: thanks everyone for your replies so far, it's been helpful :)
