BREAKING NEWS – Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – The foundation, also known as Black Nurses Rock, is believed to be the largest minority nursing association in the USA, representing 174,000 African American nurses and students.
The founder, Romeatrius Nicole Moss, a nurse and Air Force Major stationed at Vance Air Force Base in Enid, Oklahoma, pleaded guilty to criminal health care fraud in which she accepted kickbacks for referring TRICARE beneficiaries to pharmacies furnishing compounded drugs, U.S. Attorney Timothy J. Downing of the Western District of Oklahoma said in a statement last year.
“Hopefully this won’t affect my military career,” Moss stated at a press conference. “I ripped off civilians, not Air Force personnel, so in my opinion, the two should not be connected. I also believe I kept my oath as an officer. I swore to protect and lay down my life for citizens in this country from enemy invaders, and there is no record of me swearing to protect them from crooks like me.”
