Nurse practitioner student here (RN for 9 years). I would love to be called nurse practitioner once start practicing. It’s simple and elegant name for our role. Thank you for your videos.
I prefer to be called a nurse practitioner since that is what I am. Call the MD a doctor since that is what the public is used to calling them. Terms like provider, mid-level, and clinician, these terms tell the public nothing about who we are as professionals.
Provider implies implicitly that all the members of that group are interchangeable. If there's any value given at all to different levels of education and differing levels of training, then that assumption is incorrect. I personally don't. There's a reason you go by Dr. on this channel instead of nurse practitioner. Because doctor in the clinical context means physician specifically And adds legitimacy due to a little bit of a deceit. Yes, you are a doctor of nursing practice but you also understand that doctor in hospital in the country actually means physician. But nevertheless realize that by stating that you're an NP, you won't get the same views on RUclips. Therefore, it only stands to reason that physicians also realize Is this and that everyone Is trying to co-op their title And that their work in becoming a physician and thus the leader of their care team should also be validated with a different title than somebody who is specifically not a physician. You can't have it both ways.
If physicians are the only ones in clinical practice who can refer themselves to Dr “so and so” then you don’t think dentists, podiatrists, optometrists, and psychologists can refer themselves to doctor? Physicians don’t own the term doctor. In fact, historically, doctor refers to a teacher.

I agree about providers being a term that lumps us all in one group. I'd rather be called a nurse, who provides healthcare.

Doctors never miss a chance to be a bit pompous

I don't think he has the doctor title on his RUclips because of his DNP, I think it is because he has his PhD
