I understand everyone's position, but for someone such as myself, who is all prepared to take the national Exam, I feel strongly that it is unfair to now expect a State exam to be administered. This should have been taken into consideration earlier, before you made it mandatory to sit for the National exam. If the rules of the game are going to be changed at half-time, than a fair referee needs to be in place now! Assisted Living regulations are so over the top in Virginia, administrators for Assisted Living will not be necessary ,as we will all be converted to nursing homes before long! The folks that create these regulations need to take a step back and realize why assiste living was founded in the first place..to oofer a CHOICE for the resident and how they want to live the last of their days!
