I disagree with everyone on this thread. We should not remove out nursing title, however we do more than "practice" nursing. If that was the case we would do things like use herbs and not prescribe medications. I am curious if anyone can accurately describe what a nurse "practice" is? however since we DO practice medicine I think we should take the best of both worlds. Physician assistant or associate use the tile of Physician in their name. Perhaps we should do the same and legally change to Nurse Physicians. Keeping both our nursing background but allowing our patients to understand that we do actually practice medicine as well. Seems to me to hit everything that the people in this thread feel and allows us to become viewed more competently by our community.
