Winnipeg Woman Fined For Posing As A Nurse To Get Job, Access To Drugs

Darpan News Desk, 25 Apr, 2017 11:39 AM
    WINNIPEG — A Manitoba nurse has been ordered to pay $10,000 for posing as another nurse to gain access to narcotics.
     
    In a disciplinary decision by the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba, Sasheen Guest, also known as Tia Smith, was found guilty of professional misconduct.
     
    A disciplinary committee found that Guest practiced as a registered nurse on at least four occasions when her membership was either surrendered or suspended.
     
    It also found she used another nurse's identity to gain employment as a nurse, which allowed her to access narcotics.
     
    Guest has had her registration to the College of Registered Nurses cancelled.
     
    She was also charged with fraud by Winnipeg police and received a four-month conditional sentence.
