Got my diploma from Nigeria. It's real because the guy on the phone said so.

“allowed students to go on to sit nursing board exams and obtain licenses”

So they passed the boards. They can’t exactly be ignorant slouches.

something similar in UK:

According to the DoJ, three schools- Siena College of Health, Palm Beach School of Nursing and the Sacred Heart International Institute- in south Florida created "false and fraudulent" diplomas and transcripts that nursing students could then purchase.

It said "the aspiring nurses never completed the necessary courses and clinicals" to be qualified- a claim Jamaal R. Jones, a health lawyer in Miami, intends to contest on behalf of his clients.

And they have the nerve to whine about ruined careers after they knowingly deliberately cheated to get their jobs?

They should be thrown inn jail.

About 15 years ago....the US Army in Europe came to realize that around forty to fifty people hired to GS positions requiring a bachelor’s degree....had a fake degree (some going back five to ten years). They were nice about it....giving them a month or two notice, but all were released.

Before going to college or vocational school, first verify the quality of the education by asking employers in that field what the good schools/majors/degrees are. The people you’ll one day ask to hire you are the people who know what kind of education has real value. Ask them before, not after, you spend time and money on training.

Years ago my sister graduated from a 2 year college as an LPN. She then tested to a RN.

That pathway to RN changed years ago. Now you have to obtain the RN through college curriculum. My neighbors daughter graduated last year from an accredited RN program at JMU.

I think a lot of people are mistaking nurses assistants or LPNs for actual registered nurses. Nurse’s assistants are a dime a dozen and can probably receive instruction obtained online or through a short course for the abbreviated skillset.

The scary part is that these assistants are hired en masse at Elderly Care Facilities... bed pan changers, sponge baths, vitals... general neglect at the farm system. Going to a nursing home is a slow death sentence, and makes a good case for euthanasia. Moo...

We have an accountant in our department who broadcasts on his Linked In profile that he's a CPA Candidate with an MA in Accounting from LSU. His performance leads me to question the validity of his degrees from that university.

He makes mistakes that should never be allowed from one with a Masters degree in Accounting, such as omitting the decimal point after the dollar amount on a check to a vendor.
