The hospital I work at simply calls all NPs and PAs "midlevel providers", which to me, makes it sound like we're less educated.
NPs and PAs ARE less educated than physicians. That does not mean they are lesser providers, but you will never win a "we are just as educated" argument. The numbers don't even begin to add up.
What the heck is a Noctor-really?
I'm a Nurse Practitioner. I'm not some fake physician. I am, however, a doctor. You can call me Dr. K if you want, but I usually go with Isabel.
I think murse is well-stupid. We're all nurses. What am I, wurse (woman nurse)??
And I don't like mid-level provider. I do not provide mid-level care. And if I did, who the heck provides low-level care?
As for Advance Practice Clinician or Provider-don't even get me started.
I'm Dr. K. I'm a Nurse Practitioner. I'm not any of the above

Do NP's find the title, "Noctor" (Nurse-doctor) offensive?
