Summary
The bill lets licensed advanced practice registered nurses who hold a Ph.D. or D.N.P. use those doctoral titles and abbreviations, as long as they match the degree earned. It also prohibits them from calling themselves a "doctor" in any advertising they produce unless they clearly indicate they are a nurse. Violations are either misdemeanors or subject to nursing board discipline.
