Overview

• Investigators say Bardisa provided care to approximately 4,486 patients at AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway from June 2024 through January 2025 despite never holding a valid nursing license.
• Hospital records show she was hired in July 2023 as an advanced nurse technician after claiming completion of nursing coursework under an “education-first” model.
• Bardisa allegedly used a coworker’s license number and fabricated a name change to conceal her lack of credentials.
• Her fraud was uncovered in January when a routine credential review for a promotion revealed only an expired CNA license, prompting her firing and referral to law enforcement.
• Authorities have urged anyone who believes they were treated by Bardisa to contact the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office as the investigation continues.
