How i address most people depends on how they are introduced to me until they tell me differently.
At work, with coworkers, it is first name unless it is a Dr. that i'm not close to. There are some docs i've known for years, we are on first name basis. But, in front of patients, it's back to Dr. When i arrive at patient's homes, i have to positively identify everyone so i ask are you Jean Robbins (first name last name). Then after the identification is complete, i switch back to Ms. Robbins or Mr. Robbins, unless they insist on me using their first names. Most patients just call me generically...nurse. But, up on the mountain there are a few families that call me doc. They know i'm not a doctor and they are well aware that i am a nurse, but i'm the only medical person some of these peeps ever see. It's sorta cute i think. Honestly, i answer to anything. I'm not uptight about it.
