Got another question answered, btw.
I asked Dr. Markus, "How are we to refer to a nurse practioner?"
Well, he explained, Rose, the NP here, has her PhD, so we could call her Dr. Gates, but she prefers to be called Rose.
Yeah, but what if she weren't a PhD.
Then the title is simply, "Ms."
Bryan asked what, exactly, a nurse practitioner is.
It's an advanced degree beyond an RN, but not doctorate level.
I said, "So, like a Masters."
"Yes."
"So we could call her Mistress Gates?"
He said, "What she does on her own time is her business."

This Dr. Markus is a funny guy...
I had a similar title situation a couple years ago. I was managing the website for a professional insurance organization and the president kept referring to me in the board meetings as the Web Mistress.
She wasn't all that tech savvy and thought that because I was a woman, it wasn't proper to call me the Webmaster.
I told her after the meeting that she could call me the website manager if she wanted but that if she continued to call me the Web Mistress I would feel compelled to show up at the next board meeting wearing a leather catsuit and carrying a whip.
