   PALM COAST, Fla. (Gray News) – A woman in Florida is accused of posing as   
   a licensed nurse and caring for over 4,000 patients over the course of two   
   years.   
      
   The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office said 29-year-old Autumn Bardisa, of   
   Palm Coast, was arrested Tuesday following a seven-month-long   
   investigation.   
      
   Bardisa is accused of posing as a licensed nurse at AdventHealth Palm   
   Coast Parkway.

   Hospital officials reported to law enforcement that they fired Bardisa   
   after they discovered she was impersonating a registered nurse by using   
   another person’s license number and submitting false documents.   
      
   The hospital said Bardisa originally started as an advanced nurse   
   technician in July 2023.   
      
   According to the hospital, when applying for the position, Bardisa   
   indicated that she was an “education first” registered nurse, meaning that   
   she passed the required schooling to become a registered nurse but had not   
   yet passed the national exam to obtain her license.   
      
   During the hiring process, Bardisa then informed the hospital that she had   
   passed the exam and provided a license number matching someone with her   
   first name, Autumn, but with a different last name.   
      
   Bardisa attempted to explain the discrepancy, stating that she had   
   recently gotten married and had a new last name. Bardisa was then asked to   
   provide her marriage license to AdventHealth, which she never did, the   
   hospital said.   
      
   In January 2025, Bardisa was offered a promotion, which sparked interest   
   among her coworkers.   
      
   A fellow employee then checked the status of Bardisa’s license and   
   discovered that she had an expired certified nursing assistant license,   
   which the employee reported to administrators.   
      
   After opening their own investigation, AdventHealth discovered that   
   Bardisa had never provided her marriage license as requested to confirm   
   her identity.   
      
   She was fired on Jan. 25 of this year, and law enforcement opened their   
   own investigation.   
      
   The investigation determined that Bardisa shared a first name with the   
   other nurse, who was employed by AdventHealth, but at a different   
   hospital, and had attended school with her. However, the two did not   
   personally know each other.   
      
   During the criminal investigation, detectives determined that Bardisa had   
   participated in medical services to 4,486 people from June 2024 through   
   January 2025, despite never holding a valid nursing license.   
      
   She was arrested at her home on Tuesday on seven counts of practicing a   
   health care profession without a license and seven counts of fraudulent   
   use of personal identification information.   
      
   She is being held on a $70,000 bond at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate   
   Detention Facility.   
      
   Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said this is “one of the most disturbing   
   cases of medical fraud we’ve ever investigated.”   
      
   Anyone who believes they may be a victim of Bardisa should contact the
