I agree that this should be accepted because states are limiting who can practice in their state. This should be uniform across the states.  Every state has it's own standards which makes it difficult for people to relocate. When I was in school working toward  my degree I did not realize that every place I would locate to would require me to take more classes, different classes, more hours and obviously is not cost effective. I feel this would be a great service for VA Board to consider. I would love to work in VA to be close to my family.
