    Fake It 'Til You Break It - Impersonating Nurses Part 2

    Part 2 of Fake It ’Til You Break It exposes the shocking reality of fake nurses, healthcare fraud, stolen nursing licenses, and the massive Operation Nightingale scandal. From serial nurse impostors and credential fraud to fake diplomas and patient safety risks, the Terrible Nurses crew dives into real cases that reveal how unqualified people slipped into healthcare systems — and asks the unsettling question: how many fake nurses are still out there?

    Fake It 'Til You Break It - Impersonating Nurses Part 1

    Would you know if the person treating you was never actually a nurse? In Part 1 of Fake It ‘til You Break It, the hosts of Nurses Are Terrible People Too uncover real cases of alleged fake nurses who slipped into hospitals, prisons, nursing homes, and urgent cares using stolen identities, forged credentials, and pure audacity. One allegedly stole narcotics across multiple states. Another is accused of assaulting patients while pretending to be a nurse. What starts out sounding absurd quickly turns into something far more disturbing: proof that some of these imposters got dangerously close to real patients before anyone realized they were fake.   Brought to you by our alleged sponsor - Operative Otters   Check your nursing license on https://www.nursys.com/ and sign up for e-notify.    Shannon Womack -  ABC NEWS- Pennsylvania nurse used 20 aliases, 7 Social Security numbers to illegally treat patients: Police https://abcnews.com/US/fake-nurse-20-aliases-7-social-security-numbers/story?id=123956914   State Police Seeking Help from Health Care Providers with Ongoing Investigation into Fraudulent Nursing Practices https://www.pa.gov/agencies/psp/newsroom/psp-seeking-help-with-ongoing-investigation-into-fraudulent-nurs   Woman charged with posing as nurse arrested in Pennsylvania, suspected in Tennessee https://fox17.com/news/local/fake-nurse-wanted-for-pill-thefts-in-pennsylvania-may-have-committed-crimes-in-tennessee   ‘Impostor nurse’ used 20 aliases and worked at medical facilities in severalstates, police say https://www.wfsb.com/2025/07/24/impostor-nurse-used-20-aliases-worked-medical-facilities-several-states-police-say/   Ramon Garcia   Man charged with playing nurse, performing exams on more than a dozen unsuspecting women https://wjla.com/news/nation-world/man-charged-ramon-garcia-assault-harass-nurse-perform-photo-vagina-blood-medical-exams-victims-unsuspecting-women-urgent-care-facility-pennsylvania-abington-jenkintown-montgomery-county-district-attorney   Fake Nurse Sentenced for Sexual Assaults at Pennsylvania Urgent Care https://www.anzalonelaw.com/fake-nurse-sentenced-for-sexual-assaults-at-pennsylvania-urgent-care/   Fake Nurse Gets 5-10 Years In Prison For Sexually Assaulting Multiple Patients https://nurse.org/news/fake-nurse-sexually-assault-patients/   Man charged with playing nurse, performing exams on more than a dozen unsuspecting women https://nbcmontana.com/news/nation-world/man-charged-ramon-garcia-assault-harass-nurse-perform-photo-vagina-blood-medical-exams-victims-unsuspecting-women-urgent-care-facility-pennsylvania-abington-jenkintown-montgomery-county-district-attorney   Amanda LeAnn Porter   Fake Nurse Hired at Two CA Hospitals—Police Say She Had No License or Credentials https://nurse.org/news/fake-nurse-arrested-california/   Woman pretended to be a nurse at various SoCal hospitals, oversaw dozens of patients, police say https://abc7.com/post/amanda-leeann-porter-woman-accused-impersonating-registered-nurse-socal-hospitals/15547627/   Virginia Woman on Probation for Fraud Impersonated Nurse at Multiple Hospitals, Oversaw Dozens of Patients: Police Investigators believe she has been fraudulently employed at multiple hospitals using a variety of fake identities. https://www.latintimes.com/virginia-nurse-fraud-probation-hospitals-identity-amanda-leeann-porter-566087   Restore your faith in nursing with Diane Carlson Evans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Carlson_Evans

    Bleach Puh-leeze! - Kimberly Clark Saenz

    Was she calculated… or just unbelievably bold (and bad at crime)?  We’re talking about Kimberly Saenz, a dialysis nurse accused of injecting bleach into patients’ bloodstreams. Yes. Bleach. We break down how dialysis works, how this could even happen, and why it took so long for anyone to stop it — all while asking the question: was she shockingly bold… or just shockingly dumb?

Maybe not anything potassium-rich.   Brought to you by our alleged sponsor: Horse Nurse   Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Dialysis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw_nqzVfxFQ https://www.oxygen.com/snapped/crime-news/nurse-kimberly-saenz-killed-patients-by-injecting-bleach   Angel of death: Nurse Convicted of Injecting Bleach - Oxygen https://www.oxygen.com/snapped/crime-news/nurse-kimberly-saenz-killed-patients-by-injecting-bleach   CBS News: Jury Finds Texas Nurse Guilty In Bleach Deaths https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/texas-jury-finds-former-nurse-guilty-in-bleach-deaths/ Kimberly Clark Saenz v.

    Starting Season 2 Off On The Wrong Foot

    In this episode, we dive into the disturbing true story of Wisconsin nurse Mary K. Brown, accused of amputating a hospice patient’s frostbitten foot with bandage scissors—without a physician’s order or consent. We break down the medical realities of necrosis, scope-of-practice violations, reporting failures, and the legal aftermath that saw serious felony charges reduced to a misdemeanor plea. It’s a jaw-dropping case of alleged nurse misconduct, healthcare ethics, and system breakdowns—told with the clinical insight and dark humor only real nurses can deliver. Listener discretion advised.

    In this unhinged bonus episode, we dive into the true crime saga of Gwendolyn Graham and Cathy Wood, the “lethal lovers” who turned their workplace romance into a serial-killer Scrabble game—trying to pick nursing home victims whose initials spelled MURDER. Their three-month smother-fest became one of the most bizarre healthcare serial killer cases in American history, complete with obsession, jealousy, and the world’s worst idea of couple's bonding.

    In this episode, we expose some of the wildest pandemic-era nurse crimes—from a wrench-and-chemical attack at Hackensack to the $1.5 million vaccine-card scam at Wild Child Pediatrics.

    Plague Problems Part 1 - Pandemic Crimes

    While the world was banging pots and calling nurses heroes, a few were out there committing side quests no one asked for. In this episode, we dig into the pandemic nurse crimes that made 2020 even weirder: stolen credit cards from intubated patients, Facebook confessions no lawyer could survive, and “end-of-life decisions” that absolutely should’ve involved a doctor.
