Registered nurse reacts to massive fake nursing scheme bust | Morning in America 

I agree. I've seen to many Dr's that didn't know what the he'll I was talking about during the visit

That must cost a pretty penny.Smh, lol.

Right, when I was pregnant in 2020 I ask the nurse to have a water birth and a midwife and she had no idea what I was talking about . Although she was really a good nurse and saved my life from malaria , I was shocked she didn’t k ow what a midwife and a water birth was !!

@@barbie6695 costs less than you think, just look up fake diplomas, cbc marketplace had a good news story about them. They even caught a professor at Toronto University who was teaching with his fake degree.

Sounds like you had a good program. Lots of programs are trash though, and many people only learn theory. Many schools only use students for CNA work in clinicals. New job orientation is when I learned the most. Congrats on finishing up school.

I know someone who going to a nursing program in Florida who live in Georgia he travel every third weekend to go to class when he told me that it didn"t sound legit I told him did he do his homework. I haven't spoke to him in a long time but just wondering was one of those schools a part of the scam.

@@Chinaglo24 skills/clinicals should be 9hrs twice a week. So 18 hours a week. At least that's how it's done in california. can't imagine it being different anywhere else.

I work in Los Angeles county this answers a lot of my questions. I went to nursing school over 30 years ago in Salt Lake City. Thx you nursing angels for great teachers and all of my many preceptors through the years. I have saved letters from patients and families thanking me for the CARE. We must pass on how important it is to CARE!!!

I joined the military out of high school and got my LPN in the army. Did my time, then did a LPN to RN program. I worked hard for my license. These people make me sick.

Just like for medical school, they gatekeep to prop up salaries by artificially keeping supply down.

Remember the adage: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!!

@@thomasschwarting5108 yes sir

They passed the boards tho

@@ceciliastout2161 majority of them were LPN so they already had a nursing background. But regardless it was the wrong way to do it

Not for an LPN to RN program.

@@barbie6695 I didn't say anything about LPN to RN

sometimes 4 years

Hours without sleep

@@sbolden123 yeah, but I said something about it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I cannnt 😭

@@ethelmakusha9993 Yeah - I was like huh , what’s that ? She said Telephone Order. I said to her if you can’t write simple Telephone Order then you need to go back to school.

so medicine is only practiced in english speaking societies? 😂😂 okay

And some can google the medication as well lol

@@angangaus Aren’t they smart enough to learn another language?

Whatever.

The best doctors actually don't speak English.

People should not volunteer to go on TV if they don't know what there talking about. I'm gonna assumed this nurse asked to volunteer her time for this television interview. She could've said no

I was thinking the same thing, how did they find her for the interview?

I said the same thing

Let's all review the definition of gatekeeping.

I disagree. If you paid and took the classes from a non accredited school but passed the program. Then you've actually earned the degree. However if the school you went to didn't get the credentials to give you the degree then that is solely on that school

The schools were accredited, so not everyone that attended paid for a easy way out. What happened to the students who were going through the right way and passed?

You bought a nursing license

@@jblove53 We all bought one technically ...the nclex isn't free, lol. It cost me $200 additional dollars...not including my school tuition....and another $76 for my temporary license.

No, I do know a lot of people who went to school. How can you buy your license? The Nclex is no joke. You have to know your stuff.

No, I did not buy a nursing license. I do know a lot of students who work hard going to school. I decided to speak up because there is another side to this issue. I am totally against buying fake degrees. What I’m saying is that the schools were once accredited and there were students who actually went legitimately, so what is going to happen to those students?

This not okay. 😢

Probably Africans and Caribbeans....very rude people.

When there was a severe RN shortage in the mid 1990's, my neighbor, who is a RN, told me that hospitals were desperate for Registered Nurses. Nurse Recruiters from America would heavily recruit from foreign countries. Some of the recruiters would have copies of the exam or the answers. Then, there were nurses from foreign countries who worked as RN's in America and had become citizens. According to her, these nurses were running a business selling fake CPR cards and taking RN board exams for foreign nurses. The nurse would usually charge the prospective RN $2,000.00 prior to taking the exam and an additional $2,000.00 after the foreign nurse received a copy of the RN license. The "real" nurses would also be paid to tutor these nurses in their homes and teach the basics and what to expect, how to perform injections, etc. This is highly dangerous and almost unbelievable. She also said that back then, fingerprints, etc. weren’t required, just an ID. The proctor barely glanced at. Sometimes, makeup and wigs were worn to look like the person on the ID/License. She cites this as the reason she retired early and I am happy to have her as a neighbor and obtain some good advice and how to spot an inexperienced nurse or doctor. With all of this modern technology, I wonder how they were able to pull this off. Parents need to stop forcing their children to go to medical school, law school and nursing school if they don’t wish to do so. This Sarah Warren nurse who is being interviewed doesn't appear to be experienced either.

Well what does she pretend? That people that doesn’t have the minimum intelligence to practice that profession are handed degrees?

True❤️✌️

Agreed. I'm tired of hearing about how 'nursing school isn't accessible' or 'too expensive'. I've done my RN program while working full-time as a Med Assistant in the ED. It pisses me off that people expect to have this handed to them, instead of gutting it out like myself and others in my class (two others in a similar position to me). Yeah, it's not easy going to school in the day and working in a busy ED at night, but that's if you want something you suck it up and get it done. To me, this is the same as Stolen Valor and the people that are participating should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Agreed, I am an old timer nurse. This girl speaks out of her ass. To be able to qualify to nursing schools in NY you have to pass a test. She clearly wants everything handed to them. In order to qualify in good schools you have to have some iq level… I hope all those nurses are prosecuted for their unethical behavior

This is all facts

I am an RN with 37 plus years experience. I am applaud with this individual's responses to the questions. Poor representation of my profession.

Hell no. She looks very green 💚 and dufus

Yea not sure why she is being interviewed. She is word-finding like she's on something

@@laurenann7094 probably opioids, methamphetamine 🤦‍♂️😂

Imagine yourself to be the patient being taken cared of by this nurse with fake credentials and your life totally depends on the care she provides.

Absolutely and there is a ton of them out there.

Thats great!!!!

Immigrant nurses you mean.

Probably foreigners.

Yes they are working. I just saw a report that 26 Nurses in Delaware had there licenses revoked.

@@Celery459 oh my

Sad you feel this way,

facts

yep doctors and nurses only care about money

@@primordialmeow7249 Sadly I left nursing for that reason. Newer nurses always on their phones. Older nurses getting burnt-out training poorly educated nurses.

This hits too close to home. I finished my ASN 10 years ago. It was very competitive, there was 12 people applying for 1 program spot. I had to get all As in all prerequisites and score high on TEAS test. I’m finishing my BSN in May . I started my program when I was pregnant and working full time as a nurse. I worked full time the whole time and now I’m graduating on my sons 2nd birthday. So many sacrifices and sleepless nights. This people are tainting out profession while hurting other human beings. So frustrating 😡😡😡

So when you're having the big one stay home and take your chances.

@@jn3084 only thing they can diagnosis 😂

@@jn3084 if you knew anything heart attacks can be silent duuur

Haha yeah, a lot of them are not the sharpest tools.

@@di3486 they sit on their computers all day now

Still, there license should be suspended until they graduate..

This comment made the most sense because everything you said is true.

What??? How about jail time for them and fire the HR staff that hired them without checking credentials?

Finally a sensible comment. As a nurse, nursing school was challenging, yes, but far from impossible. All you really needed to do was put in the time and effort. The only thing nursing schools care about is their NCLEX pass rate. Their goal is for the student to pass the NCLEX and some those people who bought nursing degrees passed the NCLEX so who cares if they went to nursing school or not. They'll get plenty of training during orientation.

@@CheapCosmoGeek Yes, it should because it's illegal what they did.

but vulnerable patient lives were placed on risk.

Thats crazy. You should never have a license after that.

Years ago in England, (mostly) girls would go into nursing directly when they graduated high school. They learned on the job, bottom up, with a couple of days a week at nursing school. In reality they were a lot more rounded, able and willing to do the “dirty jobs,” and provided lots of patient care. I have found that todays nurses with their expensive college degrees are much more unwilling to be seen as a “traditional,” care giving nurse and expect to be treated and act, more like junior doctors. Try to find a nurse these days who will hand-hold to calm nerves or to bring a cup of tea - you won’t find one. I absolutely refuse to go into a hospital today unless there is no alternative. They are no longer the caring safe havens that we had when I was young. They are more like a very impersonal conveyor belt, or uncaring money making machines.

You need the education behind nursing. What you don't need is the attitude of these younger nurses who think because they have higher degree masters and beyond that they are beyond patient care. No one is and never should think that. Everyone has to start somewhere...be able to do what you can delegate. I always did what I delegated as a BSN RN Nurse Manager. None of my staff was beneath or above me. There is no me in team. Young nurses need to understand you work for the betterment of the patient not yourself. I am happily retired. Go back to the old standard testing of nursing boards...two days and multiple testing areas....much more difficult to pass. You need to rise up to bring the standard up in nursing...BSN should be the standard entry. Also they require license when you go into testing areas and school id. At least almost forty years ago they did.

@@enigma_-_79Same for dentists to make lots of money and people didn’t go to nursing school to be underpaid they went to make a lot of money and care for patient 😊 Currently a BSN student.

@@enigma_-_79 remember this nurse had this huge ego and I put her in her place. I told her why not take the same classes I’ve taken then you can brag, biochemistry, two levels of organic chemistry, physics, calculus and high level math, she was shocked and doesn’t have the skill to pursue that path I accomplished, just cause a person has a high degree doesn’t give them the right to be arrogant and put down others down 😮

@@napnemeanix always remember why you went into your chosen field...not for the money. I did nursing because I loved it, money was always secondary. If you don't love what you do you will not get enjoyment out of what you do. That's why younger nurses are fleeing after such a short time in the field. Nursing is very hard work, but so fulfilling. Good luck. 😊
