We are already facing a shortage of Nurses. It’s costly enough for many of us and increasing fees is only going to cause harm.  Increasing fees is definitely going to discourage those that may be thinking of pursuing Nursing and what about the Nurses out there that are contemplating leaving Nursing in the first place because we do not get paid adequately for the work we do and the conditions we work in and some of us are burnt out and wanting to seek other careers- this increasing of fees will make the decision to leave a lot easier.  Who is going to be taking care of the population that currently exists when increasing fees is going to drive us away?! I absolutely am against increasing fees!
