As a nursing student with 6 weeks til graduation this makes me sick. I don’t think these people know how much we go through to get our credentials. I won’t even be considered a nurse til I pass the NCLEX even after graduation.
As a nurse graduate who has to take nclex this is absolutely disgusting no they don’t realize what we go through to get through school it’s a commitment and an honor thank God no one was hurt
Took me 5 years to get a BSN including 2.5 years of pre-requisite classes and 2.5 years of RN. It was so difficult and worth it. The study and training is hard for a reason and there is no easy way out. Even with all those years of studying, it was when I became a real nurse at my hospital on a busy telemetry unit that I truly learned and earned my place. I have hands on experience now but I still have so much more to learn. Nursing is not something to be glamorized, cheated, or messed with. It’s a real profession and real people die on us. People need to think twice about what they’re doing morally when they try to fake being a nurse. It’s harmful and potentially deadly to patients under our care.
More than that. They need to have a proficiency test too, prior employment and quarterly. Idk how many people I’ve known in professional and medical positions that were literally butter brains. They’ll blame it on not seeing something or subjects since school but that’s no excuse. Jobs where a particular license is mandated Especially in medical where people lives are in your hands, they need to have that license and be tested for comprehension to make sure they not becoming routine and complacent. My example is this women and the therapist who went on her hate all men rant but was a licensed therapist at someone clinic.
HR should already be doing that when they see an applicant that they are interested in. It’s sad that some facilities drop the ball of verification and things like this happen.
I'd bet in some cases an insider may tell an imposter how easy it is to fool a company because they do not do thorough clearance checks...A Criminal-minded sociopaths open invitation. 🥸
I’m a travel nurse and some of these nurses didn’t know anything that were working in these hospitals. After seeing what happened in Florida, that explained it. I’m addition to some new grads never having hands on patient experience due to COVID
An “experienced” travel nurse I worked with during the pandemic wanted me to show her how to spike an IV bag. Now it’s all adding up. Luckily she seemed to never get the most critical patients.

She was 43 and committed suicide on the day that she was to appear in court on the false nursing license charges. Her LinkedIn account states that she worked as an LPN shift supervisor.

@@christineperez7562 Yes I well know. RNs are one of the Hardest working professionals in the medical field. When I had my car accident RNs were all over me 24/7.

This is why professions have online verifications. I’m a licensed engineer and all you have to do is type my license number and/or name into the database and it comes up.
Nurses have the same thing. However if schools give you fake degrees, and then allow you to pay to pass the boards that’s a different story. That’s what happened in Florida. They gave out over 7,000 fake diplomas and 30% passed the boards. Which I’m sure they paid for
I have read many of the comments and didn't see any "giving her plausible explanation... On the other hand, however, if you check out this other video on TH-cam, titled "How this nurse faked her credentials for 15 years," you will really be appalled. In comparison, the comments on both videos are like day and night. The subject in the other video was being praised left , right and center in its comment section, about how smart she was with faking being a nurse, and she got lots of sympathy from those commenting. Same exact stories with different audiences' reactions...
When u see how the man at the door defends her , u see there is zero accountability. Then there is the little slap on the wrist for what she did. She will be right back at being a conartist & putting people in danger.
I am physically and emotionally drained, studying to become a nurse. Yesterday I was crying because of the amount of stress nursing school put on us. And she over here faking a license. Do you know how much blood and sweat we are phasing to be one? You are putting patients at risk.
Sameee! Nursing school is the toughest thing I’ve been through. So many sleepless nights and tons of tears! Only people who have gone through it will know
@@ThatAlleyCatsBack Not sure what you consider pennies but a large amount of nurses get paid extremely well depending on where you live. I agree that the American Health care system is fucked up, but patients still need our help. And bedside nursing isn't the only form of nursing. There and a plethora of options where I don't have to break my back and still get paid great! Thats the beauty of it.
It took me 4 years to complete prerequisites and the nursing program all while raising a family. It was a very difficult and trying time but I did it. It's frustrating to witness people like this taking short cuts and cheating to get a job in a field where your knowledge and skills are very important to those you are helping.
What a criminal and shameful act. I don't know how some people think they can get away with these kinds disgraceful forgery and think they will not get caught. She should serve at least 5 yrs in prison.
I am sure she is not the only imposter out there in the medical field. The original document (nursing license) should have been provided, NO EXCEPTIONS.The HR department is solely responsible for doing a thorough background check before a newsier is cleared to work. Employers are now vulnerable because they are so desperate to fill numerous vacancies...thats dangerous and alarming.🇺🇸 Tighten up!
That reporter got beside himself, choosing to have a sarcastic, snappy, negative response to that elderly gentleman, as if he was a police detective... he soon found out he wasn't 🧐🤣😂🤣
90 days only? Wow!!!!! and whoever it was at the door has some nerves to speak like that, knowing your family member is that sick to try to pull off something like this.
I’ve been in the healthcare field for 15 years and when I first started they warned us to not apply to agencies first because they were taking social security numbers and giving them to the people who were not born citizens, they all get here and help each other get there credentials and teach one another as they go. They don’t want to single them out but unfortunately this isn’t new.. She literally could’ve been just thrown in the mix when the pandemic first started because they pushed a lot of new nurses and the students right through
When it comes to medical professions you should present original or a certified copy of license. If found guilty this woman should serve more than 90 days she would have been in charge of human lives it's not a crime like stealing.
IDK if the girl's family is making most of these comments on the page. I can tell most of the people commenting have no medical training at all. Defending criminal behavior knowing they would be the first ones to sue if she killed your family with the wrong medication. Nurses are not self-trained forgers they are well-respected first responders to the people. Would you want an untrained firefighter responding to your home that is on fire and you have family still in the house? Would you want a Fake Surgeon working on you if you had to have open heart surgery? Ask yourself if you would want her to be your nurse if you were in the hospital?
This is crazy. I stressed we go through in nursing school, clinical, studying getting up early and sacrificing yourself and family. These people just walked around pretending to be nurses and putting patients at risk and a liability for common. 90 days isn’t enough
People want to go up the mountain in just 5 minutes making lots of money in the easiest way possible. But guess what many nurses are out there in the field just for money and not for vocation. It’s kind of the same disgrace because that suffering is passing through innocent patients.
@@natyak5641 Doctored up Nurse!!!! A nursed with her PhD, listen to the news again 😂🤣😂. How much money do think that level of nurse makes a year? Read on: Average Salary For Ph.D. in Nursing Graduates What is the average Ph.D. in nursing salary in 2023? The average Ph.D. in nursing salary is $99,000 annually, which comes out to $8,250 a month or $47.60 an hour. The average Ph.D. in nursing salary is 76 percent higher than the average salary across all occupations in the U.S. ($56,310.). Ph.Ds. in nursing command such handsome salaries because the skills they’ve been taught focus upon optimizing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of nurses in the workplace at a time when nurses are in increasingly short supply.
Seems like there's a lot of people from other countries willing to take a rest with other people's lives. It's the craziest thing I ever heard of I think they should be held accountable. They're risking people's lives with that kind of nonsense. Shows you that the nursing credentialing is not doing much because how come all these nurses are slipping through the hoops. Seemed like their supervisor / managers with notice there's a problem. People should have some type of integrity but it seems like they'll do anything for money. Even put innocent people's life at risk. They also need to check out all the nursing schools they know these people aren't learning anything in half of these schools started by nursing. Wake up America this is a new world it no longer survives on integrity. The new model for American do anything for money and you don't have to go to jail as long as it's white collar crimes. 90 days come on this should be a lot more serious than a 90-day in jail. That's why these people keep doing it because really there's no punishment for this type of behavior in America.
This is crazy, true they need to make it a little easier to get into the nursing field. They deserve the shortages they have, but to go through these extents are sad. She can never work in the medical field again! I am a medical assistant and honestly the one year medical assistant program was grueling. I’m also a phlebotomist and have an AS in Culinary Arts. We have learned the majority of what an lpn has with the exception of some things. I guess people are getting desperate. Sad, why are they just putting this up. Just found out she killed her self and never stood trial! So horrible
A misdemeanor? 90 days in jail?? People could have died under her "care". The laws need to be changed. Practicing (or attempting to practice) as a fake nurse should be a FELONY punishable by years in jail, not a few months. smh
Let’s be real! Was she wrong due to current standards? Absolutely! However, nursing is a job that is completely trainable! Do you not know the history of nursing? Let’s remember a very known respected NURSE that was trained &very skilled!!! Not to mention, she was unable to read or write! Yet , she’s a remarkable part of history! Harriet Tubman ❤❤
@Danielle Atterberry sorry sweetie! I’m not writing this from my opinion! This is facts ! I’ve earned my education the American way! However, the schooling for Nursing is absolutely overrated! Lastly, you’re correct! Nursing is so much EASIER NOW !!!! Thanks to the technology!!! Robots 🤖 are now the brain 🧠 for science!!! Polish up sweetie 😆😆
Yea umm Harriet wasn’t given narcotics, pushing iv, mixing solutions, know to not push potassium, charting, understanding to give thickener to those who have difficulty with swallowing. So your point is invalid
@@ladycee2573 I’m a DNP and got it the legal way. What am I big mad for? Also got it on scholarship so no debt from it. Again, what am I big mad for? Lol you ma’am sound big dumb. Harriet wasn’t doing any of that. But, I can tell from your original comment that it’s not much there to argue with. Next
At this point, official transcripts, not diplomas should be provided and followed up with finger prints and background checks for complete verification. I went through two months worth of verification to be hired by my local hospital everything was independently verified even my BLS registration it was a bit much. However, the skills nurses apply take years of education and training to perfect and why people want to bypass years of schooling and print off worthless sheets of paper is beyond me.
These people make it so hard for those of us who trying to get into nursing school (willing to do the WORK) a bad name! And those who are in the field and DID the work a bad name as well!
I went to school for a year for License Practical Nursing, but I told myself that if I felt that I wasn't ready that I wouldn't go on because I took up the course because I wanted to help people not hurt them so I just wasn't ready. I still would love to help but I'm to old now. It's not worth it your patients don't deserve it.
@@grandma460 I want to thank you for your reply, that was very nice of you to say, but my health is not as good as it was then so I try to find other ways to help, but thank you and God Bless you.
This is very serious. This is a disgrace to those who studied hard to get their credentials and someone comes with a nonsense fake diploma. May all of them get caught
What the??? 😮 I went to nursing school for 4 years and the NCLEX was another nightmare , these fake nurses come along and get in front of the line without any shame? Give me a break. 90 days in prison? Why not 4 years that takes to go to nursing school? They need a lesson in honesty for real
something similar happened in Quebec, they only caught her because she was trying to renew her license & they found out it was the license of someone else. She operated inside surgery rooms as well it was crazy
Omgoodness I seen someone comment that this lady was found dead… some commenters said that it’s not true… after researching it myself she most definitely died.😮 Body was found in a river…😢
Yep, it's a bunch of them here in Miami. I don't see them blasting the Refugee Cubans that come over here and don't speak a lick of English but somehow they are RNs at Jackson Hospital 🤔
The grind doesn't matter anymore. Instant gratification is everything. We have a very large population that is very comfortable with shortcuts and taking the easy road. 😮💨😓 ... sad state of affairs
This was a great catch. This could have been a disaster for patients and the nursing home. How could she do such a thing? Although we know she is not the first to this .She just got caught. I hope people learn a valuable lesson in not breaking the law and putting lives at risk of death. The man at the door didn't have to answer the door if he didn't want to talk to a reporter doing his job.
Why everyone mad at this lady it's a nurse shortage anyway in America.. If she would do all this for employment help the lady to get PRN dang.. We all had a job resume with a little extra on it to stand out..
As a nursing student with 6 weeks til graduation this makes me sick. I don’t think these people know how much we go through to get our credentials. I won’t even be considered a nurse til I pass the NCLEX even after graduation.
Congratulations and thanks in advance for your service. A nurse saved my life when I had a ruptured brain aneurysm ♥️Forever thankful‼️😍
Make sure you're well rested and not stressed out before you take the NYCLEX. You'll do great !! 👍🏼

Yup , and you can do the very same with Nurses .
Exactly
Exactly!!!!!!
You can become licensed without attending school ( just present the board with a fake diploma
It is appalling that some people are giving her a plausible explanation for criminally falsifying the documents needed to practice.
I don't consider documents or degrees relevant to the level of knowledge and skill an individual possess on a particular subject.
I have read many of the comments and didn't see any "giving her plausible explanation... On the other hand, however, if you check out this other video on TH-cam, titled "How this nurse faked her credentials for 15 years," you will really be appalled. In comparison, the comments on both videos are like day and night. The subject in the other video was being praised left , right and center in its comment section, about how smart she was with faking being a nurse, and she got lots of sympathy from those commenting. Same exact stories with different audiences' reactions...
When u see how the man at the door defends her , u see there is zero accountability. Then there is the little slap on the wrist for what she did. She will be right back at being a conartist & putting people in danger.
She committed suicide
She is deceased
I am physically and emotionally drained, studying to become a nurse. Yesterday I was crying because of the amount of stress nursing school put on us. And she over here faking a license. Do you know how much blood and sweat we are phasing to be one? You are putting patients at risk.
My daughter n law breezed through college to become a nurse. Never seen her sweat.
Sameee! Nursing school is the toughest thing I’ve been through. So many sleepless nights and tons of tears! Only people who have gone through it will know
@@TheFrenchPug So, she really got a hold on the subject matter. What your point other than this being an ignorant snarky response?
Why go through all that just to get paid Pennies??? You couldn’t pay me to work for a screwed up American health system
@@ThatAlleyCatsBack Not sure what you consider pennies but a large amount of nurses get paid extremely well depending on where you live. I agree that the American Health care system is fucked up, but patients still need our help. And bedside nursing isn't the only form of nursing. There and a plethora of options where I don't have to break my back and still get paid great! Thats the beauty of it.
It took me 4 years to complete prerequisites and the nursing program all while raising a family. It was a very difficult and trying time but I did it. It's frustrating to witness people like this taking short cuts and cheating to get a job in a field where your knowledge and skills are very important to those you are helping.
They only give 90 days in jail for something of this magnitude smh …. I’m a real nurse and I’m offended
It should be a felony not a misdemeanor.
She's not the first, last, nor only!
What’s wrong with people , this is scrupulous and amoral
What a criminal and shameful act. I don't know how some people think they can get away with these kinds disgraceful forgery and think they will not get caught. She should serve at least 5 yrs in prison.
She’s deceased
I am sure she is not the only imposter out there in the medical field. The original document (nursing license) should have been provided, NO EXCEPTIONS.The HR department is solely responsible for doing a thorough background check before a newsier is cleared to work. Employers are now vulnerable because they are so desperate to fill numerous vacancies...thats dangerous and alarming.🇺🇸 Tighten up!
That reporter got beside himself, choosing to have a sarcastic, snappy, negative response to that elderly gentleman, as if he was a police detective... he soon found out he wasn't 🧐🤣😂🤣
90 days only? Wow!!!!! and whoever it was at the door has some nerves to speak like that, knowing your family member is that sick to try to pull off something like this.
This is a scary situation
I’ve been in the healthcare field for 15 years and when I first started they warned us to not apply to agencies first because they were taking social security numbers and giving them to the people who were not born citizens, they all get here and help each other get there credentials and teach one another as they go. They don’t want to single them out but unfortunately this isn’t new.. She literally could’ve been just thrown in the mix when the pandemic first started because they pushed a lot of new nurses and the students right through
Was this one a "born citizen" or whats your point ?
When it comes to medical professions you should present original or a certified copy of license.
If found guilty this woman should serve more than 90 days she would have been in charge of human lives it's not a crime like stealing.
That’s her employer’s fault. They should’ve vetted her better. My job knows directly from state board when my license renewal was coming up.
IDK if the girl's family is making most of these comments on the page. I can tell most of the people commenting have no medical training at all. Defending criminal behavior knowing they would be the first ones to sue if she killed your family with the wrong medication. Nurses are not self-trained forgers they are well-respected first responders to the people. Would you want an untrained firefighter responding to your home that is on fire and you have family still in the house? Would you want a Fake Surgeon working on you if you had to have open heart surgery? Ask yourself if you would want her to be your nurse if you were in the hospital?
90 DAYS IN Jail for masquerading as a Nurse RN.....Outrageous.....
No. I believe she attempted LPN. They still have to be certified by the state.
This is crazy. I stressed we go through in nursing school, clinical, studying getting up early and sacrificing yourself and family. These people just walked around pretending to be nurses and putting patients at risk and a liability for common. 90 days isn’t enough
People want to go up the mountain in just 5 minutes making lots of money in the easiest way possible. But guess what many nurses are out there in the field just for money and not for vocation. It’s kind of the same disgrace because that suffering is passing through innocent patients.
a licensed practical nurse does not make much money, but they likely make more than a caregiver, who does the exact same tasks
What money?😂
@@JaneDoe-ql7sc Doctored up Nurse!!!! A nursed with her PhD, listen to the news again 😂🤣😂. Where did you get LPN from?
@@natyak5641 Doctored up Nurse!!!! A nursed with her PhD, listen to the news again 😂🤣😂. How much money do think that level of nurse makes a year? Read on: Average Salary For Ph.D. in Nursing Graduates
What is the average Ph.D. in nursing salary in 2023? The average Ph.D. in nursing salary is $99,000 annually, which comes out to $8,250 a month or $47.60 an hour. The average Ph.D. in nursing salary is 76 percent higher than the average salary across all occupations in the U.S. ($56,310.). Ph.Ds. in nursing command such handsome salaries because the skills they’ve been taught focus upon optimizing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of nurses in the workplace at a time when nurses are in increasingly short supply.
Never trust a woman named Tekeyta 😳😂😂😂
She should of just went to school and got the training!!!
That man at the door wasn't playin! 🤣🤣
Seems like there's a lot of people from other countries willing to take a rest with other people's lives. It's the craziest thing I ever heard of I think they should be held accountable. They're risking people's lives with that kind of nonsense. Shows you that the nursing credentialing is not doing much because how come all these nurses are slipping through the hoops. Seemed like their supervisor / managers with notice there's a problem. People should have some type of integrity but it seems like they'll do anything for money. Even put innocent people's life at risk. They also need to check out all the nursing schools they know these people aren't learning anything in half of these schools started by nursing. Wake up America this is a new world it no longer survives on integrity. The new model for American do anything for money and you don't have to go to jail as long as it's white collar crimes. 90 days come on this should be a lot more serious than a 90-day in jail. That's why these people keep doing it because really there's no punishment for this type of behavior in America.
This is crazy, true they need to make it a little easier to get into the nursing field. They deserve the shortages they have, but to go through these extents are sad. She can never work in the medical field again! I am a medical assistant and honestly the one year medical assistant program was grueling. I’m also a phlebotomist and have an AS in Culinary Arts. We have learned the majority of what an lpn has with the exception of some things. I guess people are getting desperate. Sad, why are they just putting this up. Just found out she killed her self and never stood trial! So horrible
A misdemeanor? 90 days in jail?? People could have died under her "care". The laws need to be changed. Practicing (or attempting to practice) as a fake nurse should be a FELONY punishable by years in jail, not a few months. smh
Why this recommended me today?
Why would not go to school
Any facility that hires a nurse should do a background check or prepared to settle a lot of lawsuits!! imo!😡
FBI fingerprint background checks should be mandatory for such a critical and sensitive position. But at least they were able to catch her.
Dangerous. Only 90 days! 20 years is better.
Oh my.. it's only a misdemeanor wow!! Up 90 days in jail!! Sad
Faking as a health care professional... a misdemeanor!!!
I'm a lvn in California..this is wild..news reporter please don't go to anyone's home..too dangerous
🥴🥴🥴🥴
I'm a health care worker. Atleast she's shown passion. Rather guide her in the right direction and help her be relevant to what she's already doing
Shows passion in criminality?? jesus where do you guys come from.. Rather if anyone died during her care, she should be charged for manslaugher
Let’s be real! Was she wrong due to current standards? Absolutely! However, nursing is a job that is completely trainable! Do you not know the history of nursing? Let’s remember a very known respected NURSE that was trained &very skilled!!! Not to mention, she was unable to read or write! Yet , she’s a remarkable part of history! Harriet Tubman ❤❤
@Danielle Atterberry sorry sweetie! I’m not writing this from my opinion! This is facts ! I’ve earned my education the American way! However, the schooling for Nursing is absolutely overrated! Lastly, you’re correct! Nursing is so much EASIER NOW !!!! Thanks to the technology!!! Robots 🤖 are now the brain 🧠 for science!!! Polish up sweetie 😆😆
Yea umm Harriet wasn’t given narcotics, pushing iv, mixing solutions, know to not push potassium, charting, understanding to give thickener to those who have difficulty with swallowing. So your point is invalid
@@MsLisalisa24 ummmmmm NOPE!!!!! Try again!!! You sound like you’re big MAD 😡🤣🤣🤣🤣🥳
@@ladycee2573 I’m a DNP and got it the legal way. What am I big mad for? Also got it on scholarship so no debt from it. Again, what am I big mad for? Lol you ma’am sound big dumb. Harriet wasn’t doing any of that. But, I can tell from your original comment that it’s not much there to argue with. Next
@@MsLisalisa24 😂😂😂😂😂😂 girlllll ya lying 🤥😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
At this point, official transcripts, not diplomas should be provided and followed up with finger prints and background checks for complete verification. I went through two months worth of verification to be hired by my local hospital everything was independently verified even my BLS registration it was a bit much. However, the skills nurses apply take years of education and training to perfect and why people want to bypass years of schooling and print off worthless sheets of paper is beyond me.
You predicted the future 🤷♀️ all of those things are now required.
The program is 24 months!!!!!! Just go to school
I like this chubby news anchor..... He's giving Arnold Drummond meets Uncle Phil. 😂
These people make it so hard for those of us who trying to get into nursing school (willing to do the WORK) a bad name! And those who are in the field and DID the work a bad name as well!
I thought this was recent but it happen 3 years ago. Wow
At least the company checked her out before she got on the floor.
They should check every nurses credentials
She knew better
The woman knows little to think that any company would not check her license with the state via the computer system.
I went to school for a year for License Practical Nursing, but I told myself that if I felt that I wasn't ready that I wouldn't go on because I took up the course because I wanted to help people not hurt them so I just wasn't ready. I still would love to help but I'm to old now. It's not worth it your patients don't deserve it.
Many awesome, awesome nurses began their journey later in life… you gain wisdom. Maybe consider 😊
@@grandma460 I want to thank you for your reply, that was very nice of you to say, but my health is not as good as it was then so I try to find other ways to help, but thank you and God Bless you.
This is very serious. This is a disgrace to those who studied hard to get their credentials and someone comes with a nonsense fake diploma. May all of them get caught
What the??? 😮 I went to nursing school for 4 years and the NCLEX was another nightmare , these fake nurses come along and get in front of the line without any shame? Give me a break. 90 days in prison? Why not 4 years that takes to go to nursing school? They need a lesson in honesty for real
I love how the title of this video still calls her a nurse LOL
Hahahaha
Why this a midseaminor? That's should be automatically a felony...
This woman killed herself right before she was to appear in court. This should be taken down.
I salute all nurses who worked hard to become a nurse.
🤣🤣Most nurses these days are very rude and lazy...oh and foreigners.
They found this woman dead in a river. She went missing the day before her court date.
Really?
Lies
You can just ask one certain question...to see how they answer it.
She could answer it correctly! A lot of these people already work in the field, they just can't pass the exam, so they take the short-cut!!!
Let's start with a "copy" of the license.
something similar happened in Quebec, they only caught her because she was trying to renew her license & they found out it was the license of someone else. She operated inside surgery rooms as well it was crazy
😳😱
Omgoodness I seen someone comment that this lady was found dead… some commenters said that it’s not true… after researching it myself she most definitely died.😮 Body was found in a river…😢
What ?!
She probably went to one of the schools in Florida 😂
Yep, it's a bunch of them here in Miami. I don't see them blasting the Refugee Cubans that come over here and don't speak a lick of English but somehow they are RNs at Jackson Hospital 🤔
🏆🧐🤣😂🤣
She didn’t go to school at all
@@DoBetter1990 it's because they vote Republican.
Was she Haitian?
The grind doesn't matter anymore. Instant gratification is everything. We have a very large population that is very comfortable with shortcuts and taking the easy road. 😮💨😓 ... sad state of affairs
Did I hear punishable for up to 90 DAYS in jail? 90 DAYS only???? For impersonation and putting lives at risk???
You can search name and license number on a nursing database. Something doesn't sound right.
How can you get an attitude when your the one committing a crime and lying 🤥 so your mad you got caught 😂
She should've just go to school for a year for that license.
You can verify professional license on the state board website
This is crazy!!!! I why I want everyone of these checked
She will not be the first nor the last to fabricate their credibility.
The first clue would be a doctorate of nursing working for a nursing home.
Correct I caught that as well!!
Doctored or Doctorate???
name of the nurse is Tekeyta Teasley
well was it really right away though? She still worked there 2 weeks before you caught her lol
It wasn’t very smart to give them a license number that already expired. Also, the most time she can serve is 90 days?
This was a great catch. This could have been a disaster for patients and the nursing home. How could she do such a thing? Although we know she is not the first to this .She just got caught. I hope people learn a valuable lesson in not breaking the law and putting lives at risk of death. The man at the door didn't have to answer the door if he didn't want to talk to a reporter doing his job.
90 days???? 90 days???? for playing with peoples life? give her 20 years
Why everyone mad at this lady it's a nurse shortage anyway in America.. If she would do all this for employment help the lady to get PRN dang..
We all had a job resume with a little extra on it to stand out..
She could've killed someone.🤦🏾♀️
Nurses with credentials do that all the time. just saying...
