How alleged nurse impersonator managed to get jobs at Los Angeles hospitals

Amanda Leeann Porter was employed by at least two Southern California hospitals during a brief time.

Amanda Leeann Porter, 44, stole the personal information of Amanda Rae Porter to pretend to be a registered nurse, according to a complaint from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. Porter, who’s from Virginia, does not have a nursing license and was already on federal probation for a fraud violation in her home state, officials said.The woman was arrested on Nov 7. after working as a nurse at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center.

It’s estimated that Porter took care of about 60 patients while working at the Burbank hospital between Apr. 8 and May 8. “In early October, we learned that an employee falsified documents to obtain employment with our hospital,” the hospital said in a statement. “Once discovered, we took immediate and appropriate action, including terminating her employment and reporting to regulatory and law enforcement authorities.

Porter was being held without bail, facing charges of identity theft, false impersonation and grand theft.
