themselves to paitents as "doctor"? Is that misleading to patients, or do you think it is appropriate?

Should they be allowed to apply for a license to practice medicine? If they don't get licenses, are they practicing medicine without a license (illegal) ?

Would you prefer to see an MD or a DNP?
 
That would be totally misleading in that environment, for obvious reasons. They may have earned a doctorate but they are not employed as a doctor.
