I don't feel an excemption of testing is appropriate or would serve our elderly communities best interest at this time.  The concern for the national shortage of nursing that we are facing is one of the best reasons to rethink this issue.  We need all the nurses to be available in their chosen vocation, and making an easier transition for them to become ALF administrators would only serve to increase our nursing shortage.  It is my hope that this will play a large factor in this current decision. 

Thank you
