As a concerned member of the nursing community, I strongly oppose the proposed increase in the Virginia Board of Nursing license fee. This additional financial burden unfairly impacts hardworking nurses who are already facing rising workplace demands and staffing shortages. The cost of maintaining a nursing license should not become a barrier to practicing our profession or providing quality patient care. I urge the Board to reconsider this increase and explore alternative funding solutions that do not place undue strain on nurses. Support those who dedicate their lives to healthcare. reject the fee hike!
