The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Hell to the no.
"Right to work."
What does that even mean in this context?

@George-K said in NPs sue to use "Doctor" title:
Referring to only physicians as “doctors” when other clinicians hold doctorates sends a divisive and hierarchical message that erodes interdisciplinary respect and collaboration. It also enables power dynamics contrary to modern health care’s push to dismantle paternalism.
Uhm, there’s a damn good reason for the roles to be divided and for there to be a clear and distinct hierarchy in a healthcare setting.

DeSantis vetoed the bill which would have prevented Nurse PhDs from calling themselves Dr.

@Jon googling around, I can't find the reasoning behind DeSantis' thinking.
A possibility is here, from the optometrists:
For months, optometry has been vigorously fighting to push back against SB 230, a Florida bill threatening to ban ODs from using the titles “doctor” and “physician” and subjecting them to a felony prosecution for doing so. Earlier today, optometrists and advocates finally saw the fruits of their labor when Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed the harmful legislation.
A felony?
-
More:
The original bill, SB 230, proposed that while other medical specialists with similar four-year post-graduate degrees, such as dentists, chiropractors and podiatrists, would still be able to identify themselves using these terms, optometrists would not be allowed due to the exclusion of the terms from the state’s optometric practice act.
I haven't seen anything about NPs or APNs in the context of the veto.

So Klaus, what do your students in Germany call you in the classroom? Herr Doktor, Herr Professor? Or maybe by now it's just "hey dude" or the more casual "yo?"

Usually it's just a straight "a**hole". I insist on them using xe/xer pronouns, though.
“Straight a**hole” and xe/xer pronouns are kind of contradictory ideas…

Good. Then if you want to be a doctor, hie thy ass to medical school. Provideth thy ass could get in, which for 90% (IMO) of them, couldn't.

Sort of related....
The American College of Cardiology (ACC) has announced its 2024-2025 officers and trustees, including the group’s next president and vice president.
Cathleen Dalton Biga, MSN, RN, president and CEO of Cardiovascular Management of Illinois, will serve as ACC president in 2024-2025 after serving as the group’s vice president in 2023-2024. Biga has more than 40 years of healthcare experience, working as a registered nurse, service line director, vice president and CEO. At Cardiovascular Management of Illinois, she works with more than 100 separate cardiology practices throughout the Chicago area.
Cardiologist Christopher Kramer, MD, chief of cardiovascular medicine with UVA Health, will serve as ACC Vice President in 2024-2025. Kramer, a cardiac imaging specialist, has authored nearly 200 peer-reviewed publications, more than 100 book chapters and three books focused on cardiovascular health over the course of his career. He previously served as president of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance.
I met Biga about 20 years ago. She was the CEO of our place for about a year (there was a revolving door).
After I was introduced, she said, "So, you pass gas for a living?"
I responded, "Yeah, and sometimes I put people to sleep too."
She didn't find it amusing.
