Investigators say the discovery led them to conclude that the driver, Shannon Nicole Womack, had used about 20 aliases and seven Social Security numbers to get hired as a nurse in Pennsylvania, and may have committed similar crimes in other states. Womack, who has been detained in Washington County Correctional Facility, was charged with identity theft, forgery, endangering the welfare of care and other charges. A public defender representing her did not respond to a request for comment. She has not yet entered a plea.
The case is not unique: In recent years, authorities in numerous states have reported people falsely claiming to be licensed nurses or working in positions that require a nursing license without valid credentials. Some regulatory bodies use the term “impostor nurse” to refer to these individuals and maintain “impostor lists” to try to prevent them from working in other states.
