Three former operators of South Florida nursing schools pleaded guilty as part of a crackdown on “diploma mill”
operations that sold fraudulent nursing diplomas and transcripts, allowing buyers to bypass proper training and

closed schools that helped people sit for nursing board exams and obtain licenses nationwide. The guilty pleas mark a
major enforcement step in combating healthcare fraud.
