re: People with the title of “Dr.” who aren’t doctors

I do find it absolutely maddening when nurses who have their doctorate and still practice nursing insist on being addressed as Dr. I think it's highly misleading to patients.

Intentionally so. The NP lobby is constantly trying to blur the lines between themselves and physicians, and sadly they succeed in fooling millions of patients each year.

85% of DNP programs are non clinical, meaning they learn admin, nursing theory, etc but not anything that makes them better at practicing medicine. This imo makes it double scummy. Many of these programs are online, and their “dissertations” are hilarious, like 8th grade assignment level bad.
