Summary

Amanda Leeann Porter, 44, was arrested for allegedly impersonating a registered nurse at multiple Southern California hospitals, including Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center and Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital.

Without a nursing license and while on federal probation for fraud, Porter reportedly treated dozens of patients between April and May 2024 before her deception was discovered.

She now faces charges including identity theft, false impersonation, and grand theft.

Authorities allege she planned the offenses with sophistication but found no evidence patient care was compromised.
