Summary	An Extra investigation of Oklahoma nursing homes reveals that they fail to do criminal background checks. The reporter "assumes the identity of a three-time convicted felon and applies for jobs at nursing homes. Only one out of eight does the required criminal background check and refuses to hire Chuck. All of the rest place their patients in harm's way needlessly."
