DNPs are now called "Doctor" in clinical settings?

As they should be. I also think Pharmacists should be addressed as “Doctor” too.



My problem is by that listing a nurse as a Doctor in the way I saw it done at one particular school, it imples a clinical capability on the same level as a Physician. And that’s not only misleading, it’s not the truth.



This makes me seriously reconsider specializing and leaving the Primary Care areas to the DNPs since it’s seems inevtable that they’re are going to take over this area in time.
