Amanda Leeann Porter, a 44-year-old woman from Virginia, has been arrested for allegedly impersonating a nurse at multiple hospitals in Los Angeles County, including Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center and Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital. Porter, currently on federal probation for a prior fraud conviction, used false identities to gain employment and oversaw the care of approximately 60 patients without a valid nursing license. Her fraudulent activities were uncovered when hospital staff discovered she was using the identity of a real registered nurse residing out of state. Porter was charged with identity theft, false impersonation, and grand theft, and is currently held without bail. Authorities believe Porter may have conducted similar impersonations across other Southern California hospitals and are seeking further information from the public. She is scheduled to appear in court on December 2, 2024.
