Fake It 'Til You Break It - Impersonating Nurses Part 1

Would you know if the person treating you was never actually a nurse? In Part 1 of Fake It ‘til You Break It, the hosts of Nurses Are Terrible People Too uncover real cases of alleged fake nurses who slipped into hospitals, prisons, nursing homes, and urgent cares using stolen identities, forged credentials, and pure audacity. One allegedly stole narcotics across multiple states. Another is accused of assaulting patients while pretending to be a nurse. What starts out sounding absurd quickly turns into something far more disturbing: proof that some of these imposters got dangerously close to real patients before anyone realized they were fake.   Brought to you by our alleged sponsor - Operative Otters   Check your nursing license on https://www.nursys.com/ and sign up for e-notify.    Shannon Womack -  ABC NEWS- Pennsylvania nurse used 20 aliases, 7 Social Security numbers to illegally treat patients: Police https://abcnews.com/US/fake-nurse-20-aliases-7-social-security-numbers/story?id=123956914   State Police Seeking Help from Health Care Providers with Ongoing Investigation into Fraudulent Nursing Practices https://www.pa.gov/agencies/psp/newsroom/psp-seeking-help-with-ongoing-investigation-into-fraudulent-nurs   Woman charged with posing as nurse arrested in Pennsylvania, suspected in Tennessee https://fox17.com/news/local/fake-nurse-wanted-for-pill-thefts-in-pennsylvania-may-have-committed-crimes-in-tennessee   ‘Impostor nurse’ used 20 aliases and worked at medical facilities in severalstates, police say https://www.wfsb.com/2025/07/24/impostor-nurse-used-20-aliases-worked-medical-facilities-several-states-police-say/   Ramon Garcia   Man charged with playing nurse, performing exams on more than a dozen unsuspecting women https://wjla.com/news/nation-world/man-charged-ramon-garcia-assault-harass-nurse-perform-photo-vagina-blood-medical-exams-victims-unsuspecting-women-urgent-care-facility-pennsylvania-abington-jenkintown-montgomery-county-district-attorney   Fake Nurse Sentenced for Sexual Assaults at Pennsylvania Urgent Care https://www.anzalonelaw.com/fake-nurse-sentenced-for-sexual-assaults-at-pennsylvania-urgent-care/   Fake Nurse Gets 5-10 Years In Prison For Sexually Assaulting Multiple Patients https://nurse.org/news/fake-nurse-sexually-assault-patients/   Man charged with playing nurse, performing exams on more than a dozen unsuspecting women https://nbcmontana.com/news/nation-world/man-charged-ramon-garcia-assault-harass-nurse-perform-photo-vagina-blood-medical-exams-victims-unsuspecting-women-urgent-care-facility-pennsylvania-abington-jenkintown-montgomery-county-district-attorney   Amanda LeAnn Porter   Fake Nurse Hired at Two CA Hospitals—Police Say She Had No License or Credentials https://nurse.org/news/fake-nurse-arrested-california/   Woman pretended to be a nurse at various SoCal hospitals, oversaw dozens of patients, police say https://abc7.com/post/amanda-leeann-porter-woman-accused-impersonating-registered-nurse-socal-hospitals/15547627/   Virginia Woman on Probation for Fraud Impersonated Nurse at Multiple Hospitals, Oversaw Dozens of Patients: Police Investigators believe she has been fraudulently employed at multiple hospitals using a variety of fake identities. https://www.latintimes.com/virginia-nurse-fraud-probation-hospitals-identity-amanda-leeann-porter-566087   Restore your faith in nursing with Diane Carlson Evans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Carlson_Evans
