Not everyone who calls themselves a doctor has an M.D. or D.O. after their name.

With the ever increasing number of nurses obtaining advanced doctorate degrees, the question of whether or not a nurse can introduce themselves as “doctor” to their patients has sparked a heated debate in the healthcare industry.

While patients who are treated by these nurse-doctors may be none the wiser, physicians are fighting to keep the doctor title restricted, especially since there is great power and responsibility that come with it.

I thought you were an objective person at first.

But I guess a we are who we are after all.

Did you read the article at all?

Read and educate yourself before you talk so that you don't sound ignorant!

I thought this whole thing is about the NMA strike? We are in Nigeria, and no nurse wants to be called a Dr. By the way, I didn't bother reading the article because we have more important issues at hand. I also thought you were an objective person, but your comments these period are nothing to write home about. I also guess that we are who we are after all.

Did you see NMA anywhere in the article.

You keep bringing up NMA like your life depends on it.

And why would you reply to a post without reading it?

Is that how you do your exams?

Please!!!

what is your reason for bringing up the topic if it is not related to the issue at hand? Nurse vs Dr again. who should be called consultant. Mtcheeewww. There are somethings I don't bother reading, and this is one of them. Until you post something that is of interest to Nigerian health sector, you are on your own. Imagine the topic? why nurses should not be called Dr. hia!

With the way you reason, Nigeria clearly has a long way to go.

We are the problem of Nigeria.

yes, we are the problem with the way we reason. I am sure your reasoning is also myopic. until we all change our mentality, we will still sit on a long thing
