They are a doctor, but not a medical doctor. Many of them could become nurse practicioners which are very similar to doctors.

Probably not. I would imagine a PhD in Nursing is only for those who want to teach nursing master's students.

If they have a PhD then they are a Doctor no matter what field they have it in.

If they prefer that you not call them that they will let you know.
