Opposition to Proposed Licensing Fee Increases
 

I strongly oppose the proposed 60-100% increase in nursing license fees. This excessive hike places an unfair financial burden on nurses, many of whom are already struggling with high cost of living and burnout. At a time when healthcare needs more support, this move will only drive nurses away. I urge the board to find alternative solutions rather than punishing those who keep the system running.
