Las Vegas Woman Accused of Posing as Nurse Faces 73 Charges in Diabetes Case

The expanded complaint followed a school nurse’s tip that exposed forged medical orders for diabetic students.

Overview

  • A newly filed criminal complaint lists 73 counts, including forgery, practicing nursing without a license, child endangerment, and furnishing a dangerous drug to a minor.
  • Investigators say at least 12 diabetic children were affected and no fewer than 24 prescriptions were forged using two physicians’ identities and a nurse’s license number.
  • The investigation began after the Clark County School District’s chief nurse flagged irregular insulin authorization forms and verified that signatures and licensing did not match.
  • Police report seizing insulin pumps, injectable medications, and both blank and completed lab orders linked to the alleged operation.
  • Scott was released on $50,000 bail with restrictions and is due back in court Tuesday, as her attorney cites her lack of criminal history and disputes any intent to harm.
