Anyone Using 'Doctor' Title at Work?

[jfmDNP]

A question for the newly or previously minted DNP, has anyone used the title 'doctor' in the clinical setting? Curious how other colleagues have been introducing themselves.

My physician colleagues were the first to initiate the change of referring to me as 'doctor' soon after I received my DNP and made my educational training, including theirs, visible in the waiting room so patients can see each provider's qualifications.

I guess if you were to start a DNP school from scratch and have it be merited upon a clinical designation with completion, you're going to need to have a baseline tool(s) that will quantify the value of hands-on clinical to enable meaningful mass replication.  

What would you recommend?  I know that the CRNA's graduates are required to be DNP's now.  Does this mean that all NP's, etc, need to have a DNP upon completion?  

CRNAs have a January 2022 requirement for doctorate degree
