I am for one in shock that you are even debating this issue.  I received a call this week, from a career placement person that asked me to consider moving out to Virginia and work as a Home Health Care Administrator. I am already working as a Home Health Administrator, prior to receiving my RN, from DLSI, and yes your state is calling me!

So why would you even think twice about turning away nurses, especially when there is such a shortage and many states are struggling find a nurses and patient care is suffering.

A paramedic turned nurse, a LPN turned RN, you couldn't asked for a more highly educated/trained ED/ICU/floor nurse coming out of DLSI.

I would think twice before passing a regulation, Texas did, and they are doing very well!!!!!!
