DEAR SIR/MADAM:

PLEASE GIVE EXCELSIOR COLLEGE ALL THE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES THAT WOULD ALLOW VIRGINIA RESIDENTS LICENSURE AFTER PASSING THE RN-NCLEX.

EXCELSIOR IS AN IMPORTANT NURSING PROGRAM ALLOWING IT'S STUDENTS THE FLEXIBILITY TO COMPLETE A NURSING PROGRAM WITHOUT COMPROMISING OUR FAMILY AND HECTIC WORK SCHEDULES.

THE EXCELSIOR NURSING PROBLEM IS IMPORTANT TO ME. I WOULD BE UNABLE TO COMPLETE A TRADITIONAL NURSING PROGRAM BEACAUSE OF MY RESPONSIBILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS. EXCELSIOR GIVES ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURSUE A NURSING PROGRAM WITHOUT NEGLECTING MY OTHER OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE STATE OF VIRGINIA GIVE EXCELSIOR COLLEGE AND ALL OF THEIR STUDENTS THAT HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PASSED THE RN-NCLEX ALL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES TO PRACTICE NURSING IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA.

MANY OF US WOULD BE UNABLE TO WORK IN OUR HOME STATE BECAUSE OF THE PRESENT RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED ON EXCELSIOR AND THEIR STUDENTS. PLEASE ALLOW US THE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES TO PRACTICE A MOST HONORABLE PROFESSION IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

SINCERELY,

ANDREW R.W. TOOTE', RCIS, RCES, EMT-P, LPN
