      She is accused of submitting false documentation and providing a licence number belonging to a nurse with the same first name who was employed by AdventHealth at a different hospital.

      The Sheriff’s Office said she had explained the discrepancy by claiming she had recently got married and had changed her surname. She was asked to provide her marriage licence but never did.

      In January, Bardisa was offered a promotion. A colleague reported her to authorities when they realised her nursing assistant licence had expired.

      Her contract was then terminated and a seven-month criminal investigation was launched.

      Detectives carried out an arrest warrant for her for seven counts of practicing a health care profession without a licence and seven counts of fraudulent use of personal identification information.

      She was arrested, wearing scrubs, at her home on 5 August.

        I read it, I want to see it unfold or how it turns out. Why did she do it? What led to her doing this? Did anyone get hurt or anything?

          traveling nurses can earn good money, but you gotta have an LVN (Licensed Vocational Nurse) or better. 20 years ago a lot of them were LVNs, I’m betting now you have to have an RN (Registered Nurse). That means you need at least an associates degree in florida. My best bet (knowing absolutely nothing about her, but having met a lot of people who have gone into medicine out of nowhere in their 30s and 40s) is she doesn’t have the formal medical education, but she has done the time as a caregiver.
