Should nurses be called doctors? That’s the contentious question Kiiyonna and Christal set out to answer in today’s Nurse Boss Shift and navigate this evolving discussion and present diverse perspectives.A fascinating legal battle involving nurse practitioners and their right to use the title "Dr." is unfolding and it brings up some interesting ethical and entrepreneurial issues that our hosts weigh in on. Sarah Erny is a nurse practitioner with a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP), the highest degree in advanced nursing. Known affectionately as "Dr. Sarah" by her patients and colleagues, she is facing criminal punishment for using the title "Dr." With over $20,000 in fines and the threat of losing her nursing license, Sarah has had to move her practice to Washington State. California's Medical Practice Act prohibits healthcare professionals, other than licensed physicians and surgeons, from using the title "doctor" or "Dr." on signs, business cards, letterhead, or ads. Violators face fines and license revocation. Tune in to this captivating episode to gain insights, challenge your perspectives, and delve deeper into the question: "Should Nurses Be Called Doctors?""I think we put that level of notoriety on the word 'doctor'. And that's why we want to be called that so much. Because it gives us a level of esteem, or honor, or something like that." ~ Kiiyonna Jones "It still feels like another attack. It still feels like some of those doctors have an issue with us being called the same thing as them, because there is that notoriety." ~ Christal ParkerIn This Episode:-What can we do to ensure the public doesn't get confused in a clinical -setting?-The Story of "Doctor Sarah"-Why is California (specifically) so strict about the use of the word 'doctor'?-Would Christal want to be called Doctor if she studied further and earned the title? -What implications do online learning qualifications have for the nursing profession? -What could a standardization in nursing education look like?And so much more…Connect with Kiiyonna and Christal:Kiiyonna's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sidepreneur_nurse/Christal's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thebedsiderescuer/Nurse Boss Mob Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2906101896370538YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/kiiyonna/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@sidepreneurrn?lang=en

Heather Wilson is a former bedside nurse turned nurse entrepreneur. She spotted a simple gap in the market: the fact that the elderly would struggle to care for their own feet on account of increased inflexibility.&nbsp;Heather decided to make up for the lack of proper routine foot care services available for America's aging population and within two short years, she was able to leave the bedside and transition into the 'full-time hustle' that is her business, Everyday Divinity.After letting other nurses 'pick her brain' on how to follow suit, Heather then decided to launch The Foot and Nail Institute, which focuses on training nurses on how to launch their own senior foot care business.&nbsp;Heather's enthusiasm for the work she does is tangible, and her impact is great. Nurses looking to claim work-life balance can do so by becoming foot care business owners themselves.&nbsp;And that starts with this motivational message from Heather and our hosts Christal and Kiiyonna which focuses on how nurses can overcome the indoctrination that happens in orientation in order to pursue entrepreneurial success.&nbsp;If we can attend to a broken foot as a nurse, we can most certainly start a business caring for the feet of the elderly that just need a little TLC!

Are you keen to learn what it takes to become a nursing copywriter? Portia Wofford has been a nurse since 2010, when she started in long-term care. Pretty soon, she saw a gap in home health in terms of how her patients weren’t necessarily understanding the pamphlets they were being left with — because they didn’t know how to read.&nbsp;&nbsp;Portia had always been a good writer and saw an opportunity to rewrite the rules on how nurses, doctors, and medical facilities communicated with their patients.

Kiiyonna and Christal weigh in on this hot topic, discussing the impact of social media and where to draw the line with what nurses are accountable for.&nbsp;Four nurses at Georgia’s Emory University labor and delivery unit were fired for making a video on TikTok detailing what patients do to give them the ‘ick’ (an uncomfortable feeling) at work.&nbsp;&nbsp;The fallout has been huge as other patients at Emory University have made the link between their poor care and this ‘ick’ video.
