Oppose nursing license fee increase
 

In what world is it fair to increase fees 60-100% for nurses? Nurses are grossly under paid as it is and with the increased cost of living and inflation, this is becoming ridiculous! 

Most employers do not assist nurses with the fees associated with maintaining licensure. With ongoing staffing shortages and rising workloads, the Board should be supporting nurses, not adding barriers. 

I really hope the board reconsiders other options instead of increasing fees drastically. 

Thank you for your consideration.
