Why would you use a nurse practitioner instead of a doctor?

The quality of care provided by nurse practitioners has been demonstrated as equal to or better than that of physicians in many areas of health care, including chronic care of diabetes, HIV, and hypertension and preventive care. A wise patient will choose health care providers who can provide appropriate and evidence-based care, communicate well, and collaborate with other professionals on the health care team. In some cases, the health care provider will be a physician, and in other cases a nurse practitioner or other health care provider. It's not unusual for a patient to see a midwife for obstetric care, a surgeon for appendectomy, a nurse for diabetic teaching, and a nurse practitioner for routine gynecologic care.

Can you as a health care practitioner use any title you want?

Absolutely not! There are very serious consequences if you practice outside your scope. Laws are for the safety of the public, and licensing for health care practitioners is heavily regulated and strongly enforced. If you really want to be a health care practitioner, of any kind, then you must get the appropriate training, certification, and licensing that apply to the local, state, and federal agencies that are overseeing the type of practice you wish to pursue. In other words, don't even think about it!
