Fake Florida nurse accused of treating over 4,000 patients arrested

Autumn Bardisa, 29, of Florida, was arrested Wednesday following a seven-month-long investigation revealing she is not a registered nurse

Police in Florida arrested a 29-year-old woman after she allegedly impersonated a registered nurse and provided medical care to more than 4,400 patients at a Flagler County hospital without a valid license.

Autumn Bardisa’s alleged crimes came to light in January when hospital officials reviewing her credentials for a charge‑nurse promotion realized she held only an expired Certified Nursing Assistant license. That discovery triggered an internal investigation and ultimately led to her termination.
