“Nurse of the Year” Is Not A Nurse At All
It reminds me of those who bought fake degree……
A doctor’s assistant allegedly spent $2,000 to stage a dinner honouring herself as ‘Nurse of the Year’ – when she wasn’t even registered as a nurse.
Betty Lichtenstein, 56, of Norwalk, Connecticut, was charged with reckless endangerment and criminal impersonation charges yesterday for her stunt.
She seemed competent enough to other staff at her clinic – she handled injections and gave medical advice, she was even named the Connecticut Nursing Association’s “Nurse of the Year” in 2008.
But according to the arrest warrant, that association did not hand her an award – in fact, the association does not even exist.
