Nursing License Increase
 

Good morning,

I strongly oppose the license fee increase for RNs and LPNs. At a time when most people, including nurses, are barely getting by with the cost of living as it is right now this increase is just another added financial burden to the nurses and everyone else on the proposed fee increase. An increase in fees over time is expected in most everything, however, the amount proposed is beyond reasonable. Not every healthcare employer reimburses nurses, etc. for their licensure renewal costs. I ask that you reconsider this proposed increase. Do not add another burden to the ones on the frontline of healthcare, we have enough as it is.

Thank you,

Karen
