I was enrolled in the distance learning program and was on my way to completing my degree when the Virginia Board of Nursing decided to stop accepting the degree. Please reconsider your decison. You have taken away my ability to get my RN license ever. You see I have to work full time, because I take care of a disabled husband and am the sole provider for my family. Without online classes I can not complete my degree in nursing. I only have 5 nursing classes left. I have been an LPN for 16 years and I have worked in all different fields of nursing. I am also certified in wound care. Please don't stop me from completing my dream of getting my RN license before I retire from nursing. You won't regret your decision, there are a lot of us LPN's out there that would love to be able to get our RN license given the chance, however the traditional classroom setting is no longer an option for many of us because we have to work.
Thank you for your consideration
