Strongly oppose fee increases.
 

Please tell me how increasing the fee to renew my license benefits me or any other licensed healthcare worker. How will increased fees provide more resources for nurses at any level? Nurses are the backbone of healthcare and are already struggling mentally and physically, do not add an additional stress of exorbitant fees to continue to have a job. Raising fees is simply taking advantage of a captive audience who has no choice but to pay whatever is asked to continue to work in an undervalued, under paid profession.

Strong NO! Support nurses, don’t punish them.
