Re: Licensure in Nevada (and Georgia)

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Well, I was FIGHTING for licensure in 1986 in Colorado. Today, there is

still no licensure. But, maybe it's related to " the Wild West " and Colorado's

attitude of " anything goes. " ;-)

It is a bit surprising.

Hi Jan, Thanks! Georgia was one of the first states to get licensure

for RDs and I was one of the first...number 93 in June, 1986:) Amazing

that there are RDs in states still trying!
