Rajasthan nurses seek 'Dr' title after completing PhD, government says 'no'

Three nurses sent proposals to state govt to allow them to use the title of 'Dr' after completing PhD programmes in nursing, which the health department of Rajasthan rejected recently. The nurses sent their proposal to directorate (non-gazetted) of health department. Many nurses are showing interest in research in the state and, after completing their doctoral programmes, they are seeking permission from state govt to use the title of "Dr".
