A woman who treated thousands of patients at a Florida hospital while posing as a registered nurse has been arrested on multiple charges, authorities said.
Autumn Bardisa, 29, was arrested on seven counts of practicing a health care profession without a license and seven counts of fraudulent use of personal identification information following a seven-month investigation, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.
Investigators said Bardisa had been hired by AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway as an advanced nurse tech in July of 2023.
When applying for the job, Bardisa indicated she was an “education first” registered nurse, meaning she’d finished the required schooling but hadn’t passed the national exam to become licensed, officials said.

Bardisa said she’d recently gotten married and had a new last name, and the hospital asked her to provide a marriage license but she never did, officials said.
When Bardisa was offered a promotion this past January, a fellow employee checked the status of her license and discovered her certified nursing assistant license was expired.
The employee reported the information to administrators, and AdventHealth also discovered Bardisa had never provided her marriage license.
On Jan. 22, Bardisa was fired, and the sheriff’s office began an investigation.
Investigators discovered the license number she’d provided belonged to another nurse named Autumn who was also employed by AdventHealth and who had attended school with Bardisa, officials said.
Detectives also determined Bardisa had participated in providing medical services to 4,486 people from June 2024 through January 2025, despite never holding a valid nursing license.
“This is one of the most disturbing cases of medical fraud we’ve ever investigated,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said in a statement Wednesday. “This woman potentially put thousands of lives at risk by pretending to be someone she was not and violating the trust of patients, their families, AdventHealth and an entire medical community.”
Bardisa was booked into jail and was being held on a $70,000 bond, officials said.
