FAKE TN NURSE WHO WORKED AT 8 DIFFERENT FACILITIES FACES 45 YEARS IN PRISON

 

A Tennessee woman who worked as a nurse in assisted living facilities and a doctor’s office without proper qualifications or licensing has pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges. The U.S. attorney’s office in Greeneville says 44-year-old Misty Dawn Bacon pleaded guilty Thursday to wire fraud, health care fraud and identity theft. According to a plea agreement, Bacon used the registered nurse license numbers of other people to secure nursing jobs. Bacon does not have a nursing degree or a Tennessee nursing license, but she was hired by eight health care providers. She faces up to 45 years in prison.
