6. Hired as a PNP, forced to work as an RN

   APRN. replied to HelloNurse80's topic in NP

   I am at a slow burn after getting to this point. One poster said it best: Do the Physicians take turns working as MA's? They're certainly capable enough, I would hope. FIRST – what I would do would be to secure written documentation that you are ...

8. Anyone Using 'Doctor' Title at Work?

   APRN. replied to jfmDNP's topic in Doctoral

   I would have to say that the majority of patients KNOW what a nurse practitioner is because we have used the title for many years. The longer we drag our feet with permissive ignorance of the title "Dr." for DNP/NP's, the longer the ignorance contin...
