Hamilton (Mar 11) – A Mississauga woman has been charged with pretending to be a qualified nurse to obtain employment at multiple long-term care homes in the Greater Toronto Area.
Hamilton police say the investigation began last May after it was learned that the 29-year-old faked her way into a job.
Mark Nesbitt, spokesperson for the Ministry of Long-term Care told CBC in an email that the woman worked at Heritage Green Nursing Home in Hamilton, Arbour Creek Long-Term Care Centre in Hamilton and Eatonville Care Centre in Toronto.
Constable Indy Bharaj also told CBC Hamilton that the accused worked at the three long-term care homes between October 2022 and May 2023.
Police say the woman forged a real nurse’s legitimate documents into her own name to obtain employment.
The fake nurse is charged with fraud over $5,000, false pretence over $5,000 and four counts of used forged documents.
