A woman who treated thousands of patients at a Florida hospital while posing as a registered nurse has been arrested on multiple charges, authorities said.

Autumn Bardisa, 29, was arrested on seven counts of practicing a health care profession without a license and seven counts of fraudulent use of personal identification information following a seven-month investigation, the Flagler County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday.

Investigators said Bardisa had been hired by AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway as an advanced nurse tech in July of 2023.
