I went to my program and worked hard to get my license. I took hours to study, I cried before test and got sick from stress. I worked hard. These fake nurses need to be held accountable. This is disgusting and scary. They need to lose their licenses. This is crazy.
@@mustangschelle68 not to mention these people did not take the oath to “do no harm”. Absolutely disgraceful situation. Where was the board of nursing in that state and why didn’t they do on site visits.
Right. If they willingly paid for the fake degrees, they are complicit in the crime and should be charged. They need to check the testing sites as well. I think its way deeper than this. Now I see people sharing stories about some schools not mentioned but NEVER have reported it. This is a shame on the nursing profession.
My mom was a Nurse Practitioner. She practiced nursing during the 80s, 90s and well into the 2000's. A good solidly trained nurse, like my mom could do it all. She worked in the emergency units, delivery rooms, Intensive Care Units, and Surgical Units of very prominent hospitals. She also worked (during her later years) in clinics and was way ahead of her time, in terms of providing true primary care to patients, as an NP. There was simply no "faking it" in those days. Nurses were given tremendous responsibility. My mom was often threatened, while working at hospitals, by physicians who felt they could bark orders at nurses.On one occasion (when she was working as a staff R.N.) she was told to administer a dosage to a patient via I.V., but she knew it wasn't the right dosage. The doctor asked if she was questioning his judgement as a doctor, and she told him that she was. She further told him that if he was so confident about the dosage, that he should administer it to the patient himself. When he went to complain, a senior doctor looked at the dosage and stated that it was way too much. The doctor never apologized, he just changed the order. Each and every day, she was tested. My mom would always say, you have to question everything, because if you are operating under a license, you are 100 percent liable if any mistakes are made. I feel sorry for patients who are treated by so-called nurses who are not actual registered nurses. It's a true travesty, to say the least.
It’s a lot harder to fake now, have to pass new tests all the time. My mother is still a labor and delivery nurse at 72, and she has to take another one this week.
This story is about "RN's" committing fraud to get their certifications on the scale of 10s of thousands. This story is not about midlevel care providers or physicians. Furthermore, physicians have many similar anecdotal stories about nursing mistakes that led to patient morbidity and mortality. The healthcare system only works with proper oversight, that involves the presence of adequately trained physicians, midlevels and RNs. Alongside, federal and state legal system oversight. Physicians have that oversight from medical boards, a very rigorous medical education, a more rigorous 3-10 years of residency after medical school (which is after college), constant recertification exams, and a malpractice system that is quite punitive. The system has failed in some instances, as it has for nurses in-masse in this case. It is worth thinking how the system can be improved and what rules and regulations should be in place to maintain proper oversight by physicians and the government as well as check-and-balances from nurses and patients, without the yelling incident you described. It is worth noting that current NPs do not have the ICU experience you described and many NP schools are fully online with minimal pathophysiology and patient interaction. Many teach minimal science classes, and instead have advocacy and politically-focused classes.
My mom is also a nurse. She told every new nurse working under her to question it all as well. Several listened and go back to thank her often. The few that didn't, well they aren't nursing anymore. she works comfortably at our city's health department over vaccinations and other things like evacuations during hurricanes. She's still telling the interns and nurses coming through to question everyone and everything including her.
They should lose their jobs. They don't have a nursing license. It should be an automatic dismissal from their job. Let that be a deterent for any others who would think of doing this in the future. Those "students" knew they were breaking the law, as well as the folks who gave them those "certificates."
@@nelly9484 They don't HAVE a license!!! If you obtain any type of license - doctor, airline pilot, plumber, electrician...NURSE...illegally and fraudulently you are NOT licensed.
@Jessgrma As others have mentioned, it isn't that hard if you buy the study books. Some people may have been paramedics or military medics or worked as CNAs and could pass the boards with some study. But keep in mind out of the many people that received these diplomas only 30% (I think they said) passed the boards after multiple tries. My education allowed me to pass my boards (with a lot of study beforehand) but after just one try.
That part shocked me, “could lose their license!!” COULD? How do they even HAVE a license. This is FRAUD….. Allowing FAKE RNs to work!! Scary, just scary. Wait until a sentinel event!
That’s exactly what they do, it’s called credentialing. Then before the insurance pays the claims, the hospitals providers must be credentialed as well. Thing is that when they check, there are these bought credentials form a legitimate school and no one knew.
Wait a minute…so if someone with a fake degree and no nursing education or experience can walk off the street and pass the nursing test and do exactly what you’re doing and get hired…what is the real fraud here. 💀
@@fyevalentine7670 this scheme specfically targets non nurses. all of migrant nurses to the US has to have a degree already and must have passed nclex. there are more requirements depending on the state and or the employer. to top it off the vast majority are recruited through a partner or certified agency. very rare that a hospital would let in a foreign worker as a direct hire.
@@kennethguinto4862 More than likely, those fake nursing schools sold accredited nursing degrees, to foreign nurses, who would have needed to complete their nursing degrees in the U.S. to practice here. There are many immigrants, who have degrees in their home countries, from non accredited schools, that are not recognized in the U.S. Those people often work in para professional jobs (i.e. nursing assistants, nurses aide.. etc)....
Nurses make good money-they wanted to bypass the needed education needed for a responsible and good paying job. Shameful to risk lives over their greed.
As a retired nurse ….I am sad to see this…I struggled with my schooling so many years ago…I was so proud as was my family that I finally got my degree….40 years later I retired…always proud to be a nurse….sad to know this goes on….
Took me more than 4.5 years in nursing school. I lost my brother, had a baby and purchased a home. So much happened. Sad this company allowed people to cut corners. The patient is who is most at risk. Self serving and dangerous. May God Bless you for your honest hard work Michele!
I know nursing is very high demand right now but hospitals should ask for reference from each candidate and their school records so the hospital can call to verify their grades and course curriculums
As a retired RN graduating in early 80’s, where I nearly lost my sanity getting through one of the toughest degrees in academia, this is very sad! How in the world did they sit for Boards? My goodness!!
*7600....and they already know who they are, and they've already started having licenses annulled. 26 in Delaware, Georgia sent out letters telling ppl to turn in their licenses. This wasn't just some make-shift investigation. They're coming for those licenses. I know those fake nurses are shi##ing bricks right now...I bet some quit....some probably even fled the country.
But how did they get the license? I thought the state runs the nursing exam for licensing? Did the state not verify the schools information/ credentials? I can see the schools giving fake diplomas but how do they give a license? It’s not adding up.
Idk, nursing is too picky. Now they want 4 years when back in the day you didn't have to at all. Army medics don't get any degree either and they have to do crazy stuff. Degrees are a joke.
@juliet Degree? LPN's only to nursing school 🏫 for 12 months, and receive a diploma. There are a few RN diploma nursing programs left, that are 24 months. I would rather have a diploma nurse taking care of me, they get more bedside training They don't have to take a lot of useless courses, art or music appreciation so forth
@@RR-on4sk A RN in a hospital has a lot more responsibilities to keep you alive than a Army Medic.They replaced Doctors on ward duty in American hospitals. They actually receive more training than doctors did two generations ago. Basically we have Nursing Aids doing the work of doctors because they have fake degrees and they took crash courses to pass the Florida State nursing exam.
Depends of what kind of nurse you are and what work you’re doing. I can see a nurse who works at an old folks home taking care of elderly and changing diapers getting away with it without “experience”.
@@AdrielSjahfiedin how do we know they passed the license exam and didn't just pay someone else off at the nursing board to issue their license? I wouldn't be surprised if more people were in on it. There needs to be an extensive investigation
There is an infectious disease 'nurse' that has been working in hospitals around here that never even had to pass the final college exam ....due to his friends mother on college board.
People were mentioning those same schools on various social media sites about 5 years ago. They were asking for the addresses to these schools. So I am not surprised about the numbers of students that got caught up in this.
Just to clarify: they were referring to LVNs/LPNs…. NOT Bachelor or Masters prepared RNs. BSN and MSNs are degree programs. These people got (fake) diplomas which is more like getting a certificate of completion and is NOT the equivalent to getting a bachelor’s or master’s degree in nursing.
i am in nursing school currently, and I am telling you it is mentally draining, the amount of stuff you learn is unbelievable but it is important. i cant imagine just studying for the test without having hands-on practice. and I'm in an ADN program with 2 years of study and one year of hands-on clinical that help you build that confidence. the "students" knew what they were doing.
Some of that work is unnecessary when you start working in the field. Are you going to test bacteria? A nurse nurture people to health. From: Experienced professional
As a Registered Nurse, this just sickens me. We work so hard for years to obtain our degrees and licenses to able to treat patients in a safe and effective manner. To put patients in harms way and cheat the rules is so wrong. Those who did this should be barred from practicing in any healthcare profession going forward on top of prosecution. Unethical people have no place in the healthcare industry.
I saw a video here about dodgy nursing schools in Florida a few months ago. Short programs, limited teaching, poor quality clinical placements in nursing homes. The main thing was to pay the fee. Uninterested state officials supervising them. I suppose the main thing for DeSantis was they had no CRT.
15,000 is a lot less money than spending 2 years of prerequisites and 2 years of a A nurse program. Unreal. Can they track these people who now have degrees?
Yeah nothing reported, I guess they’re waiting until someone’s family member dies then they’ll all line up with their best suits passing on the 🎤 like they always do on the news. GTFOH! They can can locate all these fake degree nurses if they want too.
@@Beautyymark they have tons of books just to pass NCLEX. NCLEX questions are stupid anyway and almost never applied in real life. Lol. I would just study pharmacology and the NCLEX books.
@@Beautyymark Many of them are immigrants, who worked as nurses in their home nations, but could not work as registered nurses in the U.S., because their schools are not recognized or accepted as accredited here. The only way for them to legally work as nurses, is to enroll in a nursing school in the U.S. and needless to say, most are uninterested in taking that route to become an accredited Registered Nurse...
They most likely are people who have been lpns or years of exp somewhere. I sort of fall in that category, I was a paramedic for years before going to nursing school, I thought school was a joke, it really was. Who knows what their backgrounds are, someone who passes the nclex but didn’t go to school might actually be way more experienced and knowledgeable than a new grad nursing student you never know
I am a FNP-C and was a RN for 10 years prior to gaining my advance degree. This is absolutely horrific. Florida needs to be removed from compact state by the ANA until they get their act together. That state has been a mess for decades. This should never have happened. The state I hold my license is so strict, makes me wonder what is happening in Florida.
It’s not only Florida there are many other states such as Texas, New York, Virginia. I’m a nurse and I should not be punished for the mistake of others. They have a list of the students that “graduated” they need to focus on finding them.
@@tracygowans6292 if you’re in one of those states then become part of the ANA. I’m in Arizona, very active in our ANA. If this happened in my state then the board would be voted out, or at a minimum have some explaining to do. Texas is very much like Florida, perhaps it is the politics of the state. Consider this, if someone impersonates being a police officer, and the police department lets that person work as a police officer, who is accountable? All involved. So yes, Florida needs to be held accountable. Best wishes
@@Tas0228 They have found 2 places in Houston that was involved in this scam. 4 people have been named and arrested. I wish they would have showed their picture on the news. Now I see people on social media making a mockery out of nurses. Charge them all.
@@ashfitrn yes! It’s an absolute crime what they did, not just the people that took the money but the true criminals are the imposters putting people in danger. The ANA needs to step up in these states or remove the board members asap!
It's not the state it's the school and the persons themselves. Plus FL is not the only state. Why punish the rest of us for what someone else did. I hold a license in the state of CA and a compact in FL; worked hard for both.
Steven Romo says the nurses with fake licenses will "lose their license?" WHAT LICENSE!?! They don't HAVE a license if they obtained it fraudulently. Would you want your who bypassed medical school and residency and bought his medical license doing your surgery? Well guess what. I AM a Registered Nurse. Got MY license the hard way. Four years of school, lots of money spent and existing on canned chicken soup, countless sleepless nights, terrifying clinical (terrified of the professors and making an error!). These people need to be treated just like those that impersonate police officers, physicians, airline pilots etc., are treated. With jail time.
USA is very strict with immigrant US RNs who have all the credentials, training and experience , mostly as a Filipino USRN we need to take the English exam many times before we can pass IELTS to have our visa screen but these nursing schools in Florida are producing fake nursing degrees, so sad! so unfair, the safety of the public in Florida is in danger now. and the good RNs in Florida will be affected by the impact of this issue, so so sad.
@@loujon191 my wife is a nurse and she works with literal NPs, nurses and MA's that believe it is a hoax. So I would say my point is valid. In fact, they tell patients it's a hoax, and my wife tries to just survive by keeping her head down and mask on
@@kromtastic So your theory is because you and your wife know nurses that don't believe in COVID, the majority of nurses don't believe in COVID? Again, your comment and logic are absurd
@@loujon191 lol did I say majority of nurses? Nowhere did I mention a number, denomination, anything. I was poking fun at the fact that some "less-than-sane" nurses on forums have denounced Covid as a hoax from the beginning. I've read and watched them. We always poke fun at their insanity, and this was a logic-joke as to where those PARTICULAR nurses came from
Now had I said "all nurses think covid is a hoax", your comment would have full validity. However, after careful consideration and investigation, it would appear I did not say "all nurses" lol
It’s not only unfair to nursing students who are studying and working hard to meet those requirements but it’s a safety issue. I pray no one looses a love one to these acts of greed. Hopefully everyone involve have their license revoked.
You would think that the nursing board wouldn't allow them to get licensure; without a nursing degree from an accredited nursing school. How were they able to sit for licensure exams without a degree from an accredited nursing school? I have so many ?s.
Funny how they all pass those state exams. I think it’s reflecting back on a lot of these college and universities that take your money and at the end of the day you’ve not learned anything.
I was a paramedic first and I'm so glad because my nursing program was garbage. Especially when it came to skills. We called the students from my school "deadly" in the E.R. I worked in. So, it doesn't surprise me that someone off the street could pass the NCLEX. I probably could have too with no medical knowledge just because of the review I took. A nurse can sit for the paramedic National Registry test which I don't agree with because paramedics can do things nurses can't. I think it should be the other way around and medics should be able to challenge the NCLEX.
Horrible. What I don't understand though, is how do they pass boards? Even with a degree, you have to pass boards to be licensed. And that is one hard exam.
I'm an accountant. I spent 4 years in undergrad and 2 years in Masters just to be able to sit for a 4 part exam, each 4 hours each! I studied for 8 months straight, 2 hours a day, EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Got my CPA license. Boy, was it a long and grueling journey, but I did it.
Me, too, Trish-Anne Sewell. I have to believe this reporter is just about as ignorant as many of the commenters on this tread. Could??? No...they don't really have a license so they don't have anything to lose other than my belief they should lose their freedom for a period of time. As in jail time.
These people who were running these "nursing schools" should be ashame of themselves. It is disgusting, disappointing and alarming. I am a nurse from the Philippines, I got my license, education and previous experience evaluated and verified before I got to practice my nursing license in Saudi Arabia and now, in Canada.
I'm a bonafide nurse. Diploma doesn't help you pass the BOARDS.. I couldn't have passed the boards without the education and neither could anyone else. A diploma doesn't help you. EVEN people who do the program flunked
How this is possible, this is beyond incredible. For money people do whatever. Is time to no trust in anybody and start challenging the systems around us, and ask the why’s?
I do not see the big deal. I myself worked as animal doctor in my country. I come to USA in 1998 and I use documents to become dentist. I operate VERY profitable practice for almost 14 year before someone complain about a jaw infection and the sepsis because I help MANY people. It does not take education to do a nursing or a medical. It takes common sense. If these people passed test than they should be allowed to work
The question still stands…How in the heck did they pass boards? It one of the most difficult exams to pass. ESPECIALLY if you’re never completed nursing school. We studied and cried from 2-4 years to pass that test depending on the program. How did they pass!?
I BELIEVE THE STATE BOARD NEED TO CHECK TO see WHO was MINDING THE COMPUTERS THAT DAY. Ain’t no WAY you pass state boards . Even after you go through the program it’s VERY DIFFICULT!
I wonder how can they pass the licensure (NCLEX) test if they just bought their diplomas? I don’t think they will pass the test if these people didn’t attend nursing school. This needs to be investigated thoroughly.
There are tons of books to study NCLEX and get familiar with the questions. Most legitimate nursing school has more than 95-100% passing rate because we were trained to think and answer NCLEX questions. The board of nursing must receive a letter/notification from the schools that the students have passed all the classes and graduated before being allowed to take NCLEX. $15K is cheap and a lot less stressful than attending nursing school, but it is very competitive to get into one. The people who bought the diplomas only had 30% success rate passing the NCLEX. However, some states allow people to take multiple attempts. They just had to keep paying to retake the test until passing.
All you have to do is study for the boards. There are tons of programs like Kaplan and Princeton Review that can help you with that. In fact, that is how all medical schools and law schools, even nursing schools are taught. They are not taught anything. They are just taught how to pass the boards and bar exams. I know a guy who went to UC Hastings, law school. One of the best in the country. I didn't think he was too smart in talking to him. But he said that his law school did not teach him anything. From day one they started prepping for the Bar Exam, and that is what they were taught them in the classrooms. And this is one of the top school. These licensing exams mean nothing other than a license to a livelihood.
@@williamaseng Not in Massachusetts. I have no idea where you get your information from. They make you take remediation courses at the college you graduated from at a cost. Not cheap either!
This is so sad and frustrating at the same time. I’m currently in nursing school and all the sleepless nights, tears, stress, anxiety, weight gain/loss I’ve obtained so far during nursing school to try and really understand the material bc I will have ppl’s lives in my hands to see that there’s been ppl out there who bought their degree & cheated their way out. I just cannot fathom that ppl would do that. I hope they’re able to track every single one of them and get to see their practice history
There are two legal short cuts in earning the right to take the nursing exam. One is a two year associate degree in nursing and the second is earning a diploma from a hospital’s nursing program. How much more of a shortcut did these cheaters want? I have a BSN degree (4 year degree) from a university and it was tough!
Wow, this is crazy!!! Ppl actually went to school and studied hard and these ppl actually did this? There's a reason why you have to know what to do. You can't fake helping someone. It can mean a matter of life or death.
Ready for more bad news? Medical malpractice kills 1200 people a day in the US. That's more people every 9 days, than are murdered by guns in an entire year. Why doesn't the media report this to the public? Good question. You know all those ads you see for health insurance? Healthcare companies spend billions of dollars advertising on TV and Radio stations. If these stations start reporting on all this preventable death from medical malpractice, all those ads you see and the money that goes with them, go away. 1200 deaths yesterday, 1200 deaths today, 1200 deaths tomorrow and everyday forward. The equivalent to 3 jumbo jet plane crashes AND 100 mass shootings *EVERYDAY.*
@@glidercoach I agree with you there, I’m a 100 percent disabled veteran because of malpractice while in the military. What they did to me was horrific, that’s why I was thinking, just what we need, more of it with these fake nurses.
How do we know nobody was harmed. We just lost alot of people during the COVID pandemic in the hospital. How many actually died from the virus vs incompetence.
This is unbelievable and unacceptable… I studied 4 years for my bachelor’s in nursing, and have been a nurse here in the US since 1996.. I work hard every single day. I hope the perpetrators are brought to justice!
Every one of them deserves jail time and a fine! When I think back on how hard I had to work to get my nursing degrees it ticks me off that there are imposters out here endangering the public! Lock them up!!!!
What surprised me is the hospitals hasn't checked to see if the degree was real or fake. Because I thought employers checks on the applicants degree and college they went just to see if it accredited?
As a certified teacher and administrator, who had to go through what was an unreasonable amount of education and training for my credentials, this is infuriating. Perhaps DeSantis should pay more attention to colleges in his state.
Academically Nursing School is not very difficult. Just very hard if you are an adult with adult responsibilities to donate 40+ hours of free labor when you have real life job. Now throw in goofy 15-page research papers every three days also. There is a reason why there is a Nursing shortage. I still get PLEASE donate money from Oakland Community College every 6 months. Just pours salt into the wound on my defeat. I spoke to my local Congressperson on accident. I suggested that colleges should only teach the academic requirement only and allow an OJT paid internship as a patient care technician at the local hospitals. Real world experience. After 6 months you could then take the Nclex. All I can say working at a hospital for over 30 years now. There are less and less nurses and more and more Unlicensed Assistive Personnel, (UAP.) There is even some talk of allowing robots to give medications via the UAP's! (Cost reductions!) John Smith's invisible hand of economics is about ready to backhand the entire RN industry model. TBH. The entire College monopoly will crumble sooner than later. But hey! I got my fancy useless bachelors of science degree. I throw darts at it just about every other week.

the way the US scrutinizes migrant Nurses about their credentials and then took them a while to see this.
Except that's not true at all in either case.
I think these were immigrant with prior medical experience. But that could just be a rumor.
@@fyevalentine7670 this scheme specfically targets non nurses. all of migrant nurses to the US has to have a degree already and must have passed nclex. there are more requirements depending on the state and or the employer. to top it off the vast majority are recruited through a partner or certified agency. very rare that a hospital would let in a foreign worker as a direct hire.
Kenneth 👏👏👏
@@kennethguinto4862 More than likely, those fake nursing schools sold accredited nursing degrees, to foreign nurses, who would have needed to complete their nursing degrees in the U.S. to practice here. There are many immigrants, who have degrees in their home countries, from non accredited schools, that are not recognized in the U.S. Those people often work in para professional jobs (i.e. nursing assistants, nurses aide.. etc)....
Integrity is in short supply these days
Could not have said it, better, myself.
The American way
Nurses make good money-they wanted to bypass the needed education needed for a responsible and good paying job. Shameful to risk lives over their greed.
When has it ever tbh?
As a retired nurse ….I am sad to see this…I struggled with my schooling so many years ago…I was so proud as was my family that I finally got my degree….40 years later I retired…always proud to be a nurse….sad to know this goes on….
Took me more than 4.5 years in nursing school. I lost my brother, had a baby and purchased a home. So much happened. Sad this company allowed people to cut corners. The patient is who is most at risk. Self serving and dangerous.
May God Bless you for your honest hard work Michele!
I know nursing is very high demand right now but hospitals should ask for reference from each candidate and their school records so the hospital can call to verify their grades and course curriculums
Do you really think someone could pass the BOARDS without going to nursing school.. maybe a CNA with Alot of experience could. But not a lay person
@@taylorspastpresent1014 it took me 2 years. RN. ADN.
As a retired RN graduating in early 80’s, where I nearly lost my sanity getting through one of the toughest degrees in academia, this is very sad! How in the world did they sit for Boards? My goodness!!
So disturbing and scared knowing that they were on the floor caring for patients !!! Ridiculous
Still are
@@paulchristopherlittle Exactly Paul!
Disturbing & appalling.
Not surprised they're all in Florida, Born and raised there, I testify that it's the land of grifters and hustlers.
Cubans? I’ve heard so many things they do to go around the system.
I born was in Florida WPB, this happens every where. I'm getting my BS in Palm Beach State College, a real degree from there. That's real.
They need to find all 2300 of them and revoke their license immediately
*7600....and they already know who they are, and they've already started having licenses annulled. 26 in Delaware, Georgia sent out letters telling ppl to turn in their licenses. This wasn't just some make-shift investigation. They're coming for those licenses. I know those fake nurses are shi##ing bricks right now...I bet some quit....some probably even fled the country.
But how did they get the license? I thought the state runs the nursing exam for licensing? Did the state not verify the schools information/ credentials? I can see the schools giving fake diplomas but how do they give a license? It’s not adding up.
These fake nurses need to get a 'significant' fine, in addition to losing their license, provided they haven't injured someone already.
What license!?
The Hospitals and clinics need to be fined.
Idk, nursing is too picky. Now they want 4 years when back in the day you didn't have to at all. Army medics don't get any degree either and they have to do crazy stuff. Degrees are a joke.
@juliet Degree? LPN's only to nursing school 🏫 for 12 months, and receive a diploma. There are a few RN diploma nursing programs left, that are 24 months.
I would rather have a diploma nurse taking care of me, they get more bedside training
They don't have to take a lot of useless courses, art or music appreciation so forth
@@RR-on4sk
A RN in a hospital has a lot more responsibilities to keep you alive than a Army Medic.They replaced Doctors on ward duty in American hospitals. They actually receive more training than doctors did two generations ago.
Basically we have Nursing Aids doing the work of doctors because they have fake degrees and they took crash courses to pass the Florida State nursing exam.
How did they ever think they would get away with this given the scale of it?
Utter greed and utter stupidity. FloriDUH for a reason.
merica.
I see ads for shortcuts into nursing on instsgram all the time!
Greed
@@TreeofLife_111 Report it if Instagram hasn’t taken that option away like youtube has.
This is crazy! These people are actively working and have no credentials. I can’t begin to imagine the wrongdoings behind this scandal.
To be fair, they did pass their nursing exam, which is separate from the false institutions’ certification process.
Depends of what kind of nurse you are and what work you’re doing. I can see a nurse who works at an old folks home taking care of elderly and changing diapers getting away with it without “experience”.
@@AdrielSjahfiedin how do we know they passed the license exam and didn't just pay someone else off at the nursing board to issue their license? I wouldn't be surprised if more people were in on it. There needs to be an extensive investigation
There is an infectious disease 'nurse' that has been working in hospitals around here that never even had to pass the final college exam ....due to his friends mother on college board.
@@AdrielSjahfiedin don’t care, still needs to put in as much effort as candidates who actually worked for the diploma.
People were mentioning those same schools on various social media sites about 5 years ago. They were asking for the addresses to these schools. So I am not surprised about the numbers of students that got caught up in this.
Just to clarify: they were referring to LVNs/LPNs…. NOT Bachelor or Masters prepared RNs. BSN and MSNs are degree programs. These people got (fake) diplomas which is more like getting a certificate of completion and is NOT the equivalent to getting a bachelor’s or master’s degree in nursing.
i am in nursing school currently, and I am telling you it is mentally draining, the amount of stuff you learn is unbelievable but it is important. i cant imagine just studying for the test without having hands-on practice. and I'm in an ADN program with 2 years of study and one year of hands-on clinical that help you build that confidence. the "students" knew what they were doing.
The FAKES THAT TOOK THAT EASY WAY SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO PRACTICE AGAIN EVEN AFTER DOING THE RIGHT THING. THOSE LOSERS NEED TO BE WEEDED OUT.
I've happily rolled up my sleeves for nursing students, aware that that's part of "how they make nurses".
Some of that work is unnecessary when you start working in the field. Are you going to test bacteria? A nurse nurture people to health. From: Experienced professional
Same here.
As a Registered Nurse, this just sickens me. We work so hard for years to obtain our degrees and licenses to able to treat patients in a safe and effective manner. To put patients in harms way and cheat the rules is so wrong. Those who did this should be barred from practicing in any healthcare profession going forward on top of prosecution. Unethical people have no place in the healthcare industry.
The healthcare profession is already biased so many people don’t really care about patients there in it for the money
@Dana Velez Thank you thank you thank you Dana Velez! I'm right there with you.!
Amen!!
It’s not as hard as med school, chill
@@moni5409 ok and? They never said it was. Still hard
I saw a video here about dodgy nursing schools in Florida a few months ago. Short programs, limited teaching, poor quality clinical placements in nursing homes. The main thing was to pay the fee. Uninterested state officials supervising them. I suppose the main thing for DeSantis was they had no CRT.
This definitely not just happening in Florida
Typical Florida healthcare.

I agree a lot cheaper and a lot less stress from the nursing school. I have been through one and I promised myself to never come back to school. Lol
@@williamaseng I'm going through it now... Can't wait to be finished with school!
@Jessgrma my guess is they bought the resources to help study for the NCLEX?! There are also plenty of RUclips channels that help with questions.
Yeah nothing reported, I guess they’re waiting until someone’s family member dies then they’ll all line up with their best suits passing on the 🎤 like they always do on the news. GTFOH! They can can locate all these fake degree nurses if they want too.
Idk i think those nurses who got those fake degrees should also be prosecuted
Didn’t they still have to take the standardized Nurse board exam? You can’t get a license without having passed the test?
30% of them passed god knows how
@@Beautyymark just study the nclex.
@@Beautyymark they have tons of books just to pass NCLEX. NCLEX questions are stupid anyway and almost never applied in real life. Lol. I would just study pharmacology and the NCLEX books.
@@Beautyymark Many of them are immigrants, who worked as nurses in their home nations, but could not work as registered nurses in the U.S., because their schools are not recognized or accepted as accredited here. The only way for them to legally work as nurses, is to enroll in a nursing school in the U.S. and needless to say, most are uninterested in taking that route to become an accredited Registered Nurse...
They most likely are people who have been lpns or years of exp somewhere. I sort of fall in that category, I was a paramedic for years before going to nursing school, I thought school was a joke, it really was. Who knows what their backgrounds are, someone who passes the nclex but didn’t go to school might actually be way more experienced and knowledgeable than a new grad nursing student you never know
15,000 dollars....wow !!
Thats a heck of a price to pay for a short cut.
and then we wonder why there are so many infections that run rampant in hospitals.
What about these DOCTORS NOT TAKING THEY'RE EXAMS AND GAINING LICENSE..
of coarse they were in Florida~~~
Of "coarse" LMFAO
of * course
They probably tried California and New York first, but those places charged too much lol.
I am a FNP-C and was a RN for 10 years prior to gaining my advance degree. This is absolutely horrific. Florida needs to be removed from compact state by the ANA until they get their act together. That state has been a mess for decades. This should never have happened. The state I hold my license is so strict, makes me wonder what is happening in Florida.
It’s not only Florida there are many other states such as Texas, New York, Virginia. I’m a nurse and I should not be punished for the mistake of others. They have a list of the students that “graduated” they need to focus on finding them.
@@tracygowans6292 if you’re in one of those states then become part of the ANA. I’m in Arizona, very active in our ANA. If this happened in my state then the board would be voted out, or at a minimum have some explaining to do.
Texas is very much like Florida, perhaps it is the politics of the state.
Consider this, if someone impersonates being a police officer, and the police department lets that person work as a police officer, who is accountable? All involved. So yes, Florida needs to be held accountable. Best wishes
@@Tas0228 They have found 2 places in Houston that was involved in this scam. 4 people have been named and arrested. I wish they would have showed their picture on the news. Now I see people on social media making a mockery out of nurses. Charge them all.
@@ashfitrn yes! It’s an absolute crime what they did, not just the people that took the money but the true criminals are the imposters putting people in danger. The ANA needs to step up in these states or remove the board members asap!
It's not the state it's the school and the persons themselves. Plus FL is not the only state. Why punish the rest of us for what someone else did. I hold a license in the state of CA and a compact in FL; worked hard for both.
Should release the list to the public!
Steven Romo says the nurses with fake licenses will "lose their license?" WHAT LICENSE!?! They don't HAVE a license if they obtained it fraudulently. Would you want your who bypassed medical school and residency and bought his medical license doing your surgery?
Well guess what. I AM a Registered Nurse. Got MY license the hard way. Four years of school, lots of money spent and existing on canned chicken soup, countless sleepless nights, terrifying clinical (terrified of the professors and making an error!). These people need to be treated just like those that impersonate police officers, physicians, airline pilots etc., are treated. With jail time.
Florida.... Where else....
So you telling me that these people can continue to be nurses and it’s up to the state board WTF 😢
This is so humiliating…
how would they even know if they did things that harmed patients? This is really dangerous. They need to remove the nurses.
USA is very strict with immigrant US RNs who have all the credentials, training and experience , mostly as a Filipino USRN we need to take the English exam many times before we can pass IELTS to have our visa screen but these nursing schools in Florida are producing fake nursing degrees, so sad! so unfair, the safety of the public in Florida is in danger now. and the good RNs in Florida will be affected by the impact of this issue, so so sad.
🙋🏾♂️ Find every one of them immediately!
I want to shake the hand of the person in charge of naming it Operation Nightingale, how ironic and comical haha.
during Nightingale times they were no NCLEX lol.
Stop calling them nurses! They’re not nurses!!
This is why the emergency room is crowed and waiting over 3 hours watching them come up with the next getaway tihhhh
Any nurse working with these fake diplomas should be tracked & revoked. You don't take short cut with people lives. It's unacceptable.
Well at least we solved the mystery of Nurses thinking Covid was fake. They weren't even nurses lol
I am a nurse and have not met a single nurse that thought COVID was fake. You sound absurd
@@loujon191 my wife is a nurse and she works with literal NPs, nurses and MA's that believe it is a hoax. So I would say my point is valid. In fact, they tell patients it's a hoax, and my wife tries to just survive by keeping her head down and mask on
@@kromtastic So your theory is because you and your wife know nurses that don't believe in COVID, the majority of nurses don't believe in COVID? Again, your comment and logic are absurd
@@loujon191 lol did I say majority of nurses? Nowhere did I mention a number, denomination, anything. I was poking fun at the fact that some "less-than-sane" nurses on forums have denounced Covid as a hoax from the beginning. I've read and watched them. We always poke fun at their insanity, and this was a logic-joke as to where those PARTICULAR nurses came from
Now had I said "all nurses think covid is a hoax", your comment would have full validity. However, after careful consideration and investigation, it would appear I did not say "all nurses" lol
Will the patients treated by these fake nurses get their bills reduced?
It’s not only unfair to nursing students who are studying and working hard to meet those requirements but it’s a safety issue. I pray no one looses a love one to these acts of greed. Hopefully everyone involve have their license revoked.
Some of these ladies thought they went to nursing school. I saw it in another video. The wildest part is that some of them passed the board
This took that long to discover it was FAKE? What a sloppy job.
When people say "As a doctor/nurse" on the internet, this is probably where they got their degree from.
You would think that the nursing board wouldn't allow them to get licensure; without a nursing degree from an accredited nursing school. How were they able to sit for licensure exams without a degree from an accredited nursing school? I have so many ?s.
Funny how they all pass those state exams. I think it’s reflecting back on a lot of these college and universities that take your money and at the end of the day you’ve not learned anything.
I was a paramedic first and I'm so glad because my nursing program was garbage. Especially when it came to skills. We called the students from my school "deadly" in the E.R. I worked in. So, it doesn't surprise me that someone off the street could pass the NCLEX. I probably could have too with no medical knowledge just because of the review I took. A nurse can sit for the paramedic National Registry test which I don't agree with because paramedics can do things nurses can't. I think it should be the other way around and medics should be able to challenge the NCLEX.
Horrible. What I don't understand though, is how do they pass boards? Even with a degree, you have to pass boards to be licensed. And that is one hard exam.
I'm an accountant. I spent 4 years in undergrad and 2 years in Masters just to be able to sit for a 4 part exam, each 4 hours each! I studied for 8 months straight, 2 hours a day, EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Got my CPA license. Boy, was it a long and grueling journey, but I did it.
Wow! I have so much respect for you.!
Who asked?
STATE BOARD IF NURSING ….PLEASE CHECK YOUR PEOPLE !……..
It's the "could lose their license" that's puzzling me.
Me, too, Trish-Anne Sewell. I have to believe this reporter is just about as ignorant as many of the commenters on this tread. Could??? No...they don't really have a license so they don't have anything to lose other than my belief they should lose their freedom for a period of time. As in jail time.
What The Florida !?
These people who were running these "nursing schools" should be ashame of themselves. It is disgusting, disappointing and alarming. I am a nurse from the Philippines, I got my license, education and previous experience evaluated and verified before I got to practice my nursing license in Saudi Arabia and now, in Canada.
I've heard of false claims on resumes in other fields, but could not fathom anything like this.
The real issue is the fact that some passed the nursing exam. So was the exam rigged also? This is a very interesting story!
Nope, when you study hard you will pass anything.
If you take the board review, anyone can pass it.
Very disturbing
Wow! I think I've met several of these "nurses"
The IDK nurse.
Zombies 🧟♂️ 🧟♀️
This is really horrific. How many people have died because of these people, the ones issuing the license AND the ones using said license
I'm a bonafide nurse. Diploma doesn't help you pass the BOARDS.. I couldn't have passed the boards without the education and neither could anyone else. A diploma doesn't help you. EVEN people who do the program flunked
How this is possible, this is beyond incredible. For money people do whatever. Is time to no trust in anybody and start challenging the systems around us, and ask the why’s?
Go to a nursing school college. Quit half assing your education for a job you don't qualify for.
How did they think of getting away, this isn’t even the half of hundreds of thousands.
I do not see the big deal. I myself worked as animal doctor in my country. I come to USA in 1998 and I use documents to become dentist. I operate VERY profitable practice for almost 14 year before someone complain about a jaw infection and the sepsis because I help MANY people. It does not take education to do a nursing or a medical. It takes common sense. If these people passed test than they should be allowed to work
Greedy and corrupt are all over regardless of nationality!
please review all nursing schools in Florida this is scary!
Of course they were in Florida!
The question still stands…How in the heck did they pass boards? It one of the most difficult exams to pass. ESPECIALLY if you’re never completed nursing school. We studied and cried from 2-4 years to pass that test depending on the program. How did they pass!?
I BELIEVE THE STATE BOARD NEED TO CHECK TO see WHO was MINDING THE COMPUTERS THAT DAY. Ain’t no WAY you pass state boards . Even after you go through the program it’s VERY DIFFICULT!
I wonder how can they pass the licensure (NCLEX) test if they just bought their diplomas? I don’t think they will pass the test if these people didn’t attend nursing school. This needs to be investigated thoroughly.
I heard some were immigrants from other countries with medical trading or people with prior medical experience like CNA they also were mildly trained
There are tons of books to study NCLEX and get familiar with the questions. Most legitimate nursing school has more than 95-100% passing rate because we were trained to think and answer NCLEX questions. The board of nursing must receive a letter/notification from the schools that the students have passed all the classes and graduated before being allowed to take NCLEX. $15K is cheap and a lot less stressful than attending nursing school, but it is very competitive to get into one. The people who bought the diplomas only had 30% success rate passing the NCLEX. However, some states allow people to take multiple attempts. They just had to keep paying to retake the test until passing.
All you have to do is study for the boards. There are tons of programs like Kaplan and Princeton Review that can help you with that. In fact, that is how all medical schools and law schools, even nursing schools are taught. They are not taught anything. They are just taught how to pass the boards and bar exams. I know a guy who went to UC Hastings, law school. One of the best in the country. I didn't think he was too smart in talking to him. But he said that his law school did not teach him anything. From day one they started prepping for the Bar Exam, and that is what they were taught them in the classrooms. And this is one of the top school. These licensing exams mean nothing other than a license to a livelihood.
The boards are the easiest part!
@@williamaseng Not in Massachusetts. I have no idea where you get your information from. They make you take remediation courses at the college you graduated from at a cost. Not cheap either!
They don’t have a governmental verification site for licenses???
The harm was done when they lied for their degree! Don’t say no harm was done they are not legally licensed!
Horrible.
This is so sad and frustrating at the same time. I’m currently in nursing school and all the sleepless nights, tears, stress, anxiety, weight gain/loss I’ve obtained so far during nursing school to try and really understand the material bc I will have ppl’s lives in my hands to see that there’s been ppl out there who bought their degree & cheated their way out. I just cannot fathom that ppl would do that. I hope they’re able to track every single one of them and get to see their practice history
They hear about these opportunities all the way overseas, all over the world and have contractors and agencies to help the out with the scam.
How the heck did this happen in the first place??? Someone's not doing their job, and should be held accountable. JAIL TIME.
Such a shame that a "nurse" would actually think its ok to purchase a fake degree and enter the medical field.
There are two legal short cuts in earning the right to take the nursing exam. One is a two year associate degree in nursing and the second is earning a diploma from a hospital’s nursing program. How much more of a shortcut did these cheaters want? I have a BSN degree (4 year degree) from a university and it was tough!
Wow, this is crazy!!! Ppl actually went to school and studied hard and these ppl actually did this? There's a reason why you have to know what to do. You can't fake helping someone. It can mean a matter of life or death.
How did they pass their boards? I busted my butt in school to get my license. This is scary and putting patients at high risk.
Great, just who I want working on me!
Ready for more bad news?
Medical malpractice kills 1200 people a day in the US. That's more people every 9 days, than are murdered by guns in an entire year.
Why doesn't the media report this to the public? Good question.

If these stations start reporting on all this preventable death from medical malpractice, all those ads you see and the money that goes with them, go away.

Wait so 2300 nurses faked their education and no one has been harmed by their inexperience? What's the real story here
How do we know nobody was harmed. We just lost alot of people during the COVID pandemic in the hospital. How many actually died from the virus vs incompetence.
Every second that they delayed assessing a stroke or improperly titrating any cardiac drip wow that’s blood on their hands.
So the nurses knew the school was handing out fake diplomas? Or did the school basically act like they were accredited?
Such a shame. I worked my butt off for my nursing degree. So much goes into nursing, idk why anyone would even want to buy a fake degree.
This is unbelievable and unacceptable… I studied 4 years for my bachelor’s in nursing, and have been a nurse here in the US since 1996.. I work hard every single day. I hope the perpetrators are brought to justice!
Just wow 😮
Every one of them deserves jail time and a fine! When I think back on how hard I had to work to get my nursing degrees it ticks me off that there are imposters out here endangering the public! Lock them up!!!!
This is disgusting
How can they loose something that was never there's.None of them earned them
Are they Vaxed.
Each nurses need to be reviewed!
If the degree is fake losing their license doesn't matter because is fake . Lol
Right
What surprised me is the hospitals hasn't checked to see if the degree was real or fake. Because I thought employers checks on the applicants degree and college they went just to see if it accredited?
$15,000 for a fake degree, when all you have to do is use that money to go and study to receive a real degree!
As a certified teacher and administrator, who had to go through what was an unreasonable amount of education and training for my credentials, this is infuriating. Perhaps DeSantis should pay more attention to colleges in his state.
Academically Nursing School is not very difficult. Just very hard if you are an adult with adult responsibilities to donate 40+ hours of free labor when you have real life job. Now throw in goofy 15-page research papers every three days also. There is a reason why there is a Nursing shortage. I still get PLEASE donate money from Oakland Community College every 6 months. Just pours salt into the wound on my defeat. I spoke to my local Congressperson on accident. I suggested that colleges should only teach the academic requirement only and allow an OJT paid internship as a patient care technician at the local hospitals. Real world experience. After 6 months you could then take the Nclex. All I can say working at a hospital for over 30 years now. There are less and less nurses and more and more Unlicensed Assistive Personnel, (UAP.) There is even some talk of allowing robots to give medications via the UAP's! (Cost reductions!) John Smith's invisible hand of economics is about ready to backhand the entire RN industry model. TBH. The entire College monopoly will crumble sooner than later. But hey! I got my fancy useless bachelors of science degree. I throw darts at it just about every other week.
How did they pass the boards?
