Florida Woman Treated 4,000 Patients as “Nurse” Before Arrest
A 29-year-old Florida woman, Autumn Bardisa, was arrested for allegedly impersonating a registered nurse and providing medical care to over 4,400 patients at a Flagler County hospital. Bardisa was hired at AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway in July 2023, claiming to be an “education-first” nurse who had not yet passed the licensing exam. An investigation revealed Bardisa used a false license number and treated patients without a valid license from June 2024 to January 2025, leading to her arrest on multiple felony charges and a $70,000 bond. The Sheriff’s office is urging anyone who thinks they may have been cared for by Bardisa to contact the sheriff’s office.
