I feel that the board needs to recognize and take into consideration, the background (experience) of administrators, as well as the education level or years of being an administrator.  I have been an administrator for 1 year and by July 1, 2007, it would place me at one month shy, of being able to sit for my license.  I have worked in long term care since 1998, fresh out of college and that is all I know, and to place a regulation that would not consider my experience, and or my current role as an Executive Director of ALF, is not satisfactory.   I hope the board takes into consideration, not only what classes the individual had taken while in school, whatever how many years ago, but the work experience, after all that is what really matters.
