A woman who allegedly pretended to be a nurse in Los Angeles , California has been arrested after she reportedly worked for a month in a hospital tending to patients.
The Burbank Police Department announced on Thursday that Amanda Leeann Porter, 44, of Virginia , allegedly impersonated a registered nurse at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center where she reportedly treated dozens of patients.
Porter does not have a nursing license. She is currently on federal probation for a fraud conviction in her home state of Virginia, according to KTLA , citing police.
She allegedly used a false identity to gain employment with the Catholic hospital in April. Between April 8 and May 8, she saw approximately 60 patients before her co-workers discovered that she was allegedly impersonating a nurse who lived in another state.
Porter managed to collect two paychecks before she was fired from the hospital.
This isn’t the first time she’s allegedly impersonated a nurse; she reportedly did the same thing at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital in Santa Clarita. Investigators believe she has impersonated nurses at several hospitals.
