Again: The title restriction bill is moving forward. What does this mean? If you utilize the Doctor name tile, it will be restricted. Apparently, Medicine still can not underestand this is an educational degree. Educational  Doctoral Degrees are not restricted to a degree in medicine. All, recipients of a  Doctoral educational  degree need to speak out from Physical Therapist to Nuclear-Physicist.

Thank you Gail for keeping us up to date! I will pass this onto my students, a good class assignment!
I've written my representatives!
Please write, even if you do not hold a doctoral degree. Here is why......
We all must let our representatives know that we are educated and board certified to protect the public. This gives us an opportunity to educate our government on the value of nurse practitioners, and helps prepare us and the public for the next round of restrictive legislation the FMA tries to impose on nurse practitioners.
