Disclaimer:  This episode includes unsubstantiated information
 
In this episode, Nurse Erica and Guest, Matthew/@themassholemcguido delve into the alarming trend of nurse imposters and the systemic failures that allow these individuals to operate undetected. The discussion includes three cases of fake nurses who fraudulently practiced nursing without a license:  Autumn Bardisa, Shannon Womack and Thomasina Amponsah. These recent examples of identity theft and healthcare fraud are broken down in detail. The conversation highlights the implications of such fraud on patient safety, the healthcare system, and the trust placed in medical professionals. It also addresses the lack of accountability among employers and the need for stricter regulations and verification processes in the post Operation Nightingale climate. The public listing of nursing license numbers poses a security risk and accountability must extend to Boards of Nursing.
