Hello Sarah,

It’s been a while since you replied to my post. The California Medical Board has owned the title doctor since the 1930s. I thought it would be good to share the link to the bill. What are you hearing out in your professional environment about this issue?

Hello Johanna,

Thank you for replying to this issue. The California Medical Board has owned the title doctor since the 1930s. Other states have restrictions on it. We must remember that many nurses hold a DNP degree and are not nurse practitioners.

Are you following the discussion to ban nurses from using the title “Doctor, Dr.”? California’s bill was amended on 4/17/2023 that restricts the title “Doctor.” Here is the amended bill https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billCompareClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB765&showamends=false

Hello Elizabeth,

Thank you for your reply, and congratulations. Many DNP graduates are APRNs, while others are not. I completed my DNP degree work in Health Systems Leadership. Advanced practice nurses are codified in regulation in the Nursing Practice Act. Including doctoral-prepared nurses as Advanced Academic Prepared Nurses in law would be interesting.
