Director Ridenour,
For me to comment on opinion requested ad on AZBN site is also for other nurses whose experience w/AZBN is noteworthy to comment upon new law to create broader educational flexibility. Good idea.
Although much could be done to reduce nurse shortage by reactivating licenses gone because of non clinical behaviors. The political arrangement now noted throughout higher learning presents unjust discipline via state agencies. The AZBN isn’t specifically noted, only through code, but accounts for ten cases is well known through cohorted nurses of dissent. A point of poor relations not helping shortage.
To conclude maybe so many already trained nurses could find a way back to work simply by adherences to existing laws previously abandoned in noted cases.
Very Truly Yours

the Ridenour regime has cause much horrors amongst nurses and nursing in general. The gross shortage of working nurses is a failure of resources management that could be helped by removing Ridenour. Nurses of long term are often heard claiming, ‘I’m soo done a/nursing.’
