A woman is facing felony charges after she allegedly was hired as a nurse at several California hospitals using “a variety of false identities” despite not having a nursing license, according to the Burbank Police Department.
Amanda Leeann Porter, 44, allegedly impersonated a registered nurse at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank. She allegedly applied for and obtained a nursing job at the medical center and was overseeing about 60 patients from April 8 to May 8, according to police.

Hospital staff then soon discovered she was impersonating a real registered nurse who lived out of state, according to police.
By the time she was terminated from the hospital, she had received two paychecks, police said.
She does not hold a nursing license and is on federal probation for a fraud violation committed in Virginia, police said.
