"and not be criminally charged" I think they SHOULD be criminally charged!

[@barnabascollins4625]

I want to see the faces of these frauds

[@RealTalk22222]

Wow... fake nurses! We are in wild times right now. Devastating to the patients that will inevitably have one of these fake nurses.

Jeopardizing EVERYONE LIFE !!! This is absurd 😮

[@tammieroseberry]

This should be done at every VA.

[@tammieroseberry]

@Kernica1 The VA is federally subsidized which means Federal law policy financial procurement supercedes their so called independent authority.

[@collin7810]

This is very unethical and unsafe. How can anyone sell nursing certification to these people who are not trained, not even in the most basic form??? This is too risky for any kinds of assumptions, they should be weeded out.

Besides the 25, what about the rest? This is too scary!

[@patnoonan5281]

The people that issued the diplomas should go to jail for life. It's hard to believe that this world is so screwed up

[@mickeyandres2651]

Removed for prosecution I’m presuming?!

[@marcjohnson4385]

[@DottyGreenee]

As they should

[@ruthieenrikez9652]

VA hospitals have poor ratings when it come to medical care.

[@kingstonrock3693]

Show their stinkin faces, no hiding-gale

[@TheMomseloc]
