Carol responds:
Maybe you could write a letter to the editor of Home Healthcare Nurse making that point. I'm just following their guidelines, which state that not all their readers are nurses and they prefer the broader term "home healthcare clinician" for the first use of the term shortened to "clinician" for subsequent use.

As for me, I'm just in favor of clear, concrete diction (word choice) but in cases like this, policy overrules me.
