My name is Sarah McKinney and I have been an LPN for 17 years.  While I enjoy my job and it is very rewarding it is also very stressful and exhausting at times.  We are also underpaid in many fields, due to facilities not able to afford yearly raises or bonuses for their employees.  Raising license renewal fees will further add to an already difficult task of keeping our licensure current.  With cost of living higher then it’s ever been, affording the necessities is often times a daunting task.  Please reconsider this increase.  Sincerely, Sarah McKinney.
