Woman charged with impersonating nurse at LA hospitals

A 44-year-old woman is facing felony charges for allegedly posing as a nurse at several California hospitals, including Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank.

Amanda Leeann Porter reportedly cared for 60 patients during her month-long employment, using stolen identities to secure her job.

Porter, who does not have a nursing license and is on federal probation for fraud, also worked at other hospitals under false names, according to police.

Charged with identity theft, false impersonation and grand theft, she is being held without bail as investigations into similar incidents continue. Authorities are urging anyone with relevant information to come forward.
