Thousands of fake nursing diplomas were distributed at three different South Florida schools in recent years and law enforcement agencies are finally cracking down. Around 25 people have now been charged with fraud while these diplomas, on the basis of which their holders have been practicing around the country, are also being revoked.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) released a statement on January 25 revealing that 25 people are charged in a wire fraud scheme for their alleged participation in creating an "illegal licensing and employment shortcut for aspiring nurses."
