I have been trying to obtain my RN degree for several years and i decided to do the Excelsior school program, it fit my work schedule and home life schedule and I could do it on my time, when I was contacted about VA's decision to drop the on-line schools chance to obtain the RN lisencsure I was very upset and dis-appointed and almost gave up my classes to finish my RN degree. I do think VA should allow the on-line programs to get the chance to obtain RN licsence, we have worked just as hard as other people and schools to get our education for furthering ourselves to obtain our RN degree. It  is very important to me and family to get my RN. RN's are needed so badly in the work place and no matter how you get your education  the State Board should not limit how you get the knowledge or education.  Please VA State Board let me get my RN licsence!!!  I am  very needed in my area of work. Please reconcider your decision.   Thank you.
