Autumn Bardisa, 29, of Florida, was arrested Wednesday following a seven-month-long investigation revealing she is not a registered nurse
Police in Florida arrested a 29-year-old woman after she allegedly impersonated a registered nurse and provided medical care to more than 4,400 patients at a Flagler County hospital without a valid license.
Autumn Bardisa’s alleged crimes came to light in January when hospital officials reviewing her credentials for a charge‑nurse promotion realized she held only an expired Certified Nursing Assistant license. That discovery triggered an internal investigation and ultimately led to her termination.
For sure, she lied on her resume. I’m saying it’s not like she wandered in off the street. Many nurse assistants get the requisite training and certification to become registered nurses, and she claimed to have done that. She provided a certificate with a different name on it, claiming that the names were different due to a marriage.
Any small amount of checking her paperwork would have immediately revealed her lies.
