I have been the ED at this facility since 99. I hold a valid LPN license from the BON.  The cold hard fact is that haviing another license will not keep our building full, provide any better care than we do now or find us any more staff. The established reputatation and relationship with DSS licensing is what I base our success on. If I'm required to take a National Exam I have no idea how it will benefit my building.
