Video Transcript:

Who? Bad boys! What you want? What you want? What you gonna do? When you shut the jump don't come for you! Get me! What you gonna do? What you gonna do? Yeah! Bad boys, bad boys! What you gonna do? What you gonna do when they come for you? Just when you thought you had it all figured out? You just finished that second coat of wax on your car. And here comes that pigeon to shit on your hood. And so it goes with the heroes of healthcare. When we talk about a nurse's education and credentials, short cut is not a word we want to use. When you hear a lot of things, you can't just do it. You can't just do it. You can't just do it. You can't just do it. You can't just do it. When you hear of healthcare fraud, you might think of phone scams or phony medical bills and procedures, but this is far more sinister. Federal agents say they busted an operation selling fake nursing diplomas. Authorities warning healthcare facilities across the country. After taking down a massive coordinated operation, they say sold more than $100 million worth of fake nursing diplomas. Dubbed Operation Nightingale, federal officials say they've uncovered three nursing schools based in South Florida, which they say allegedly sold more than $7,600 fraudulent diplomas for about $15,000 a piece. We're looking around at $114 million paid for these documents. In some cases, the students allegedly using fake diplomas to obtain nursing jobs in other states without proper training. It's not like this is anything new. Illegals coming across our criminally unsecured borders know that for $1,500, they can obtain a social security card that matches an accompanying and, likewise fraudulent, driver's license. When we entrust the life of an elderly parent to the staff of an assisted leaving or skill nurse, usually the one speaking at these podiums, speak from a position of authority. Is the Department of Justice having problems finding Americans can speak flu in English? Or is this part of the overall problem? Facility. The last thing we want to learn is that the nurses administering the medications, the ones charged with carrying out doctors' order to short cuts on their clinical training. Authorities charge 25 people in this game across multiple states, including Florida, New York, New Jersey, Texas, and Delaware. Agents say they've identified several facilities where people may currently be working as licensed nurses or obtaining their jobs illegally. Investigators are now working with licensing boards in each state to make sure anyone who got a fraudulent diploma no longer provides care. Take a guess. What do you think is the most surprising part of this story? To date, we have not learned of, nor uncovered any evidence of patient harm stemming from these individuals potentially providing services to patients. What's it gonna do? What's it gonna do when they come for you? Nobody's not giving over it. Police now giving over it. Not your own soul. Jamana giving over it. Not your friend. I do not give you no breaks. Yeah, yeah. Bad boys, bad boys.
