She also reportedly paid nearly $3,000 for a dinner at which she accepted the "Nurse of the Year" award from the Connecticut Nursing Association, an organization that does not exist. She was arrested in August of 2009 on charges of reckless endangerment and criminal impersonation.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1204986/Fake-nurse-handled-injections-threw-2-000-party-celebrate-Nurse-Year-award.html
