I oppose this substantial increase in renewal of nursing license.  With the current economy most are already struggling to make ends meet.  Salary increases do not keep up with inflation.  I know I am struggling and have had to do without heat this winter because I didn't have the funds.   The number of nurses available is already not enough to fill open positions.   This increase wil make that worse as nurses are forced to leave the profession or are unable to afford the fees and just don't enter the field.
