That, and many facilities do not require people to be certified to work in the nurse aide role. I know many of the hospitals in my city call them things like PCAs, PCTs, clinical assistants, etc. And many of the people working in these roles are not certified. You really don't need a certification to be able to take a blood pressure. I was never officially certified as a nurses' aide but worked as one during college.

WEST PALM BEACH — At least nine people obtained licenses in the past year to work in Florida as nurses, even though the credentials they used to get them were fake, according to documents obtained. One person has been criminally charged. They were among more than 30 who applied for licenses with transcripts from the Academy for Practical Nursing and Health Occupations in West Palm Beach, even though they had not finished or never attended the school.

But did they knowingly defraud license boards, or were they duped by others who took large fees to help them 'graduate'? The Sheriff's Office is investigating the phony transcripts, but detectives won't say what they've found or how widespread the problem might be. And Florida officials can't say with certainty how many people may be working with licenses they didn't earn. According to court documents and sheriff's reports, the problem came to light in May, when authorities in West Virginia got a tip that someone was submitting doctored transcripts, court documents show. Florida allows people to obtain licenses in other states, then use those licenses to get Florida certification. The West Virginia board got 34 applications from people who said they had graduated from the West Palm Beach academy.

Of those, 19 either had not finished or never attended, a sheriff's report said. Lois Gackenheimer, the academy's executive director, told The Post in August that she believed copies of transcripts were altered. 'A copy's never accepted as an official transcript, (which) has a raised seal. We knew immediately these had never been sent out by us,' she said.

Of the 19 people whose transcripts were faked, sheriff's reports show eight got Florida Certified Nursing Assistant licenses before the fraud was spotted. One got a more advanced Licensed Practical Nurse certificate. Florida health officials say three still have licenses and they have no information on the rest. Montana officials say they got four phony transcripts, but recognized them as fake and did not issue licenses. The woman who obtained the LPN certificate, Huberle Gregoire, 51, of suburban West Palm Beach, was charged Aug. 3 with practicing medicine without an active license, a felony. Gregoire paid $18,000 in 2008 for the academy's 17-month program but flunked out in 2009.
