To whom it may concern:

Our industry has worked very hard to ensure that all Administrators and candidates ultimately meet the identicle requirement necessary to become licensed, which is to successfully pass an examination that covers a broad domain of subject matter.  To think that any profession (ie, Registered Nurses) would consider themselves any better prepared, to the extent that they would not have to complete the same competency exam, than anyone else with the same work experience is unacceptable.  Please respond to anyone who wants to challenge the Assisting Living Licensing exam or claim exemption from taking it that they may do so if they successfully complete the NAB Nursing Home Licensing Exam.  To continue in the direction of quality care and leadership, please hold everyone to the same standard.  Thank you.
