Working with Seniors in the state of Virginia it would be more appropriate for  administrators to take a state test. We are familiar with the regulations in the state and what is required for licensing.We use and deal with state info every day.It makes more sense to practice the procedures and be licensed by our home state, instead of preparing for a national exam which doesn't pertain to alot of our regulations.This will enable administrators to care for our residents and give them a higher quality of care and better quality of life.Thank you for taking my comment.
