I think it's fname lname then the acronym. For example, Jane Doe, RN [PA, LPN, whatever]. FNP-C? I don't know that one.
The woman who saw me at the dermatologist's office is an FNP-C. Several others there are Physician's Assistants. What is the correct title for these various levels of credentials?

So, you saw a certified family nurse practitioner. CRNP's (certified registered nurse practitioners) can be in different specialties, and sometimes their title reflects that, other times I just see them use CRNP. I'm not sure if that's all you're asking or not. PA's are not nurses.

How does one refer to people in these specialties? "Patricia" seems a little odd given her training. Are there titles?

Anyone other than a Dr ive always just addressed them by there first names, any PA's, FNP, NP ive ever worked with is always called by there first name even by our patients
Is that what you are asking?

Thank you. That's unfortunate though.
I saw a PA at my dermatologist's office and when I asked at the desk I was told to just call her Amy. (yes, that was her first name...not all PAs are called Amy....oh yeah you can tell it's past my bedtime...)
I use their title and first name. ie: Nurse Amy when asking for, referring to or speaking with a nurse.
