I think the existing examination poses a hardship on the small facilities.  I have been a licensed administrator for 10 years.  I have a college degree and a Masters Degree in Social Work.  This has been acceptable.  My two supervisors have neen licensed administrators for  8 years. 

There should be a "grandfather" clause for these exceptional cases. It is a very expensive for a small owner( 8 residents each) to have to test their "administrators" who have been licensed administrators for the past 8 years.  What don't they know that they need to know now???

Thank you.
