“This is disturbing. A fake licensed nurse? A fraudulent nurse staffing agency?

If these serious allegations are proven in court, we must take a fresh look at our policies.

What can be done to prevent such brazen fraud and misrepresentation in the future? How can we better protect patients?

We thank the Division of Criminal Justice for its efforts to hold people accountable for their actions.”
