No, didn't see that. Based on what I've seen in my area though, there are many foreign nurses being hired. Not sure if they have the same qualifications as US educated nurses though.
I'm thinking/hoping that this is the tip of the iceberg, and that all of the illegitimate nurses will be rooted out. I'm sure there are thousands and thousands of them. And then, just maybe, there will be a place for ethical, educated and experienced nurses to provide quality patient care. Ha! Nice daydream!
Excellent article. In order to take the licensing exams, these idiots are providing unqualified people the means to do so. No school, no clinical education. Lock them all up, including the "students" who participated in this dangerous fraud.
Me too, fren. Did you read the article this week about the DOJ arresting schools for providing fake RN and LVN diplomas?

The feds got the schools, and i think the states will get the nurses.
ps you know you've worked with those nurses
I hope that does lead to rooting out the imposters. Don't want to work with people who really have no clue what they're doing. Big liability.
A nice daydream that I share.
Thanks for the link. I hadn't seen any of that before. Interesting times indeed.
