Is it true that the master's of science in nursing MSN will be replaced by the DNP?
Yes, there is an indication of this as follows. The AACN requires that all entry-level nurse practitioner educational programs be transitioned from the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree to the DNP degree by the year 2015. The American Association of Nurse Anesthetists has followed suit, requiring the DNP (or DNAP-Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice) degree for entry-level nurse anesthetist programs by the year 2025. Nurse practitioners and nurse anesthetists currently practicing with an MSN will not be required to obtain the DNP. (Wikipedia)

Is a nurse practitioner a nurse midwife?
Nurse-Midwives (CNM) and Nurse Practitioners (NP) are both Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) with a Master's degree in nursing (MSN). There are two other types of APNs, Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) and Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS). All four types of APNs take some of the same basic MSN classes such as pathophysiology, pharmacology, advanced physical assessment, research, theory, etc. After these basic classes students specialize as Midwives, NPs, CRNAs or CNSs. Nurse-Midwives are not nurse practitioners, however they can perform some of the same functions as NPs in the birth setting such as ordering diagnostic tests, and writing related prescriptions. Some CNMs may choose to become certified as NPs by going back to school and taking the classes and clinical rotations NPs take, or vice versa some NPs may later decide to become certified as CNMs. In 2015, all APNs, including nurse practitioners and nurse-midwives, will be required to graduate with the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) instead of the master's (MSN) degree, in order to become certified.
Will that confuse people in the hospital setting to call a nurse with a doctorate degree a doctor?
I personally do not think so. A doctor is a doctor whether an MD, DO, DNP, or PhD. Besides, I believe it would validate the individuals level of expertise which is a good thing. They worked for it, they earned it, they should be respected for it, and be identified as "Doctor." I do not see anything confusing about it.
