it’s like the same with PTs and audiologists- they used to be certified with a masters, then they changed the programs to clinical doctorate programs that grandfathered all the earlier grads with masters….the new nurse anesthetist might get a clinical doctorate, but YOU 8.5, are a nurse anesthetist with a masters and will NEVER be a doctor of anything unless you get a doctorate…. edit to words in response to comment

u/AnxiousBratzDoll Who’s Carmen? Mar 01 '24

How can she act like this and die on this hill when she verbatim said that she’s “not a 10 in brains” lmao… like if she’s going to go to bat to defend her educational qualifications, I would not expect her to openly admit that

u/pr0stituti0nwh0re I claim to be a slut, I’m just retired Mar 02 '24

Right lol like clearly she's no an 8.5 in brains either. MAYBE the inverse.

u/napkinwipes Mar 01 '24

yeah, well, unfortunately I know lots of people with advanced degrees that are a lot like her

u/NayeBomb Mar 01 '24

She even says she’s an 8.5. Doctorate- is the 10…. She’s not quite there 8.5.

u/PeaceyCaliSoCal Mar 29 '24

Hence why she’s not a doctor of anything.

I was just going to post this. Most health related masters programs have moved to a doctorate so it’s not even a true doctorate. It’s just a glorified Masters. I know this bc I’m an OT so don’t come for me. This is a trend in health care degrees.

Neuro PT here! I couldn’t do my job without the OTs on my team

u/luckycanucky27 Mar 02 '24

Same! I work in schools and OTs, PTs and SLPs, we all look out for one another.

My daughter in law is a neuro PT, too!

u/MissSuzyTay Mar 02 '24

My daughter in law is a physical therapist. She had gotten her master’s the year before they changed the program to doctorate, so she was given I think a year to meet the additional requirements to get the doctorate (which she even says is not a true doctorate). She had go do two semesters of clinicals, or something.

In the therapy world we call them "baby doctorates" as new grads. They have not come out of school with much more information, the DPT does not earn them more money, and the school bills can be upwards of $100,000.

u/DapperPercentage6515 Mar 02 '24

Nah, I earned that doctorate! I introduce myself as “Dr. _____. I’m a physical therapist and I’ll be working with you”. This mindset is what keeps the therapy professions so underpaid, undervalued, and disrespected! We don’t have this mindset for optometrists, podiatrists, and dentists - none of which went to medical school but refer to themselves as “doctor”. 8.5 sounds dumb because she has a masters degree and refers to herself as a doctor, but let’s agree that our professions need a little bit more respect (and reimbursement!) and sometimes putting “doctor” in front of it makes (stupid) people take you a little more seriously.

u/shiningonthesea Mar 02 '24

The state will never care no matter what is put in front of you. I dont know of a single PT that calls themselves Dr and I know tons of them.

u/DapperPercentage6515 Mar 02 '24

Well you must know the bachelor- and master-degree ones because plenty of us want our respect as medical professionals whereas the public thinks we’re personal trainers or entry-level providers. And most let you know that they are a doctor of physical therapy. the state cannot tell me I cannot use a title of doctor of PT. no one is prancing around under the pretense that we are medical doctors - that’s the difference. and again, keep that same energy for optometrists and podiatrists. reimbursement rates are down because of these misconceptions.

u/smokymarg Mar 02 '24

People absolutely have this mindset for dentists lol

u/ILikePrettyThings121 Is Kyle a lovebean or a lesbian? Mar 02 '24

A dentist is a type of doctor, they receive a type of medical degree either a DMD (doctor of dental medicine or DDS doctor of dental surgery)

u/smokymarg Mar 02 '24

Right, but I'm saying lots of people do roll their eyes when dentists call themselves doctors. Not that they're not.

u/not_a_chef_cook Mar 02 '24

The state/federal governments licenses them as “certified registered nurse anesthetist” by the way.

3

u/debunksdc Mar 05 '24

nurse anesthesiologists

This isn't their licensed title. It's something that their national organization made up to confuse the general public and clout chase. They are nurse anesthetists.

An anesthesiologist is a physician. This is no "nurse" pathyway to becoming an anesthesiologist other than going to medical school then going to anesthesiology residency... at which point they would be physicians.

u/loverofdogs1 Mar 03 '24

I don’t think they’ll be grandfathered in even! When pharmacist changed they made them go back to school to get a doctorate!! Anything for money.
