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.
