( KTLA ) — Police have arrested a woman who they say has been posing as a nurse and working at hospitals throughout Los Angeles County without a license.
The Burbank Police Department announced Thursday that Amanda Leeann Porter, 44, of Virginia, allegedly posed as a registered nurse at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center and oversaw dozens of patients for an entire month.
Porter does not hold a nursing license and is currently on federal probation for a fraud conviction in her home state, police said.
She was hired by the Catholic hospital back in April under a false identity. From April 8 to May 8, she oversaw as many as 60 patients before her colleagues discovered she was impersonating a real nurse who lived out of the state.
She was eventually fired, but not before collecting two paychecks for her fraudulent employment, officials said.
Porter was arrested last week after she was released from custody for allegedly pulling the same stunt at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital in Santa Clarita . Investigators said she’s obtained employment with several hospitals using false identities.
