Trans-gender nurse imposter in NZ?

Y'all are really going to laugh when I tell you this story! I was minding my own business at work the other day when a (woman) came into the CCU and introduced herself as a clinical nurse specialist and asked to see our nurse educator. We had a short chat about me being new to the country and how I was liking it. (She) was very friendly and seemed like she was comfortable/confident and had been working at the hospital for years. I told her our educator was sick and that I would leave her a message...long story short this (lady) was walking around the hospital pretending to be a nurse, looking at patients' charts, checking patients' ID bracelets, and taking care of business. Then she decided to steal a car. Funny I met her and thought we would be friends. Here is the news clip:

And they say nothing exciting ever happens in Christchurch, New Zealand...they were so wrong!

Kate, so now are you suspicious of every new face that appears in the CCU? Do you think it was a man dressed as a woman? I'm working on my ticket options with Ben the travel agent (no, not your brother). I will let you know when I get some news. Love, Mama

Just as long as there's no story about BT impersonating an engineer.

What's the latest on the interview?

Oh my goodness, only you kate, would that happen to!! Sounds to me like you need the CSI Frady team to come over and do some serious fingerprint investigation work on all the items she/he possibly may have touched!! Ha ha! Bryan is graduating from the Police Academy this Friday (YAY!), we're both very excited it's almost over. Thinking of you often and keeping you in my prayers. Love to Blaine as well.
