The medical title DO stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.
If they go to medical school and earn the degree, then yes. At that point, however, they would no longer be a nurse, they would be an Osteopathic physician.
The main difference between a doctor with an MD degree and a doctor with a DR degree is the title itself. MD stands for Doctor of Medicine and is the more common degree for medical doctors in the United States. DR, on the other hand, stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine and is a degree specific to osteopathic physicians. Both types of doctors are licensed to practice medicine and can diagnose and treat patients, but they may have different approaches to healthcare due to their training backgrounds.
No. In the U.S. the license to practice medicine is granted independently by each state. The degree "Doctor of Medicine" (M.D.) or "Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine" (D.O.) is granted by a college or university with an accredited medical school. Therefore, if a doctor loses his licence, loses his authorization to practice in that particular state, not his title or degree. The same thing would happen if an nurse lost his/her license. They would no longer be a registered nurse, but they would still have their degree (BSN, MSN, etc.)
Yes, someone with a PhD is typically addressed as "Doctor" as a courtesy title.
Yes, individuals with an Ed.D degree are typically addressed as "Doctor."
You can use the title "Doctor" after obtaining a Ph.D. when addressing academic or professional situations, such as in research, teaching, or when being formally addressed in a professional setting.
A clinician is a health professional, such as a physician, psychologist, nurse, etc, who is involved in clinical practice, as opposed to one who is involved in research.

A physician is a clinician, but not all clinicians are physicians.
