NP fined for saying "Dr" despite having doctorate
Sarah Erny DNP was sued by the State of California for referring to herself as a "doctor". Even though she has a Doctorate degree nursing.
Specifically, Sarah Erny, RN, NP, is required to cease any claims of being a "doctor" in her role providing medical treatment to the public, and work to identify and make reasonable efforts to correct information on internet sites referring to her as "doctor" or "Dr.," court documents filed in the case showed. Erny must also pay $16,000 that will be placed in the Consumer Protection Trust Fund account for the District Attorney's office as well as $3,750 for investigative costs to the office.
Erny's lawyer Melanie Balestra, NP, said in an email to MedPage Today that several other types of health professionals, including naturopaths, psychologists, physical therapists, acupuncutists, and optometrists also use the "Dr." prefix in front of their names, and "no one has gone after them."
Why is Ms. Erny singled out?" she stated. "Is this discrimination against Nurse Practitioners?"
Balestra added that on her website, Erny "always explained she was a nurse practitioner. No evidence was ever presented where she stated or wrote she was a physician. There was no witness that stated Ms. Erny stated she was a physician. She held herself out as Dr. Sarah, the nurse practitioner, or Dr. Sarah Erny, DNP."
