Hamilton Police arrest a woman for passing herself as a qualified nurse and working at Long Term Care facilities.

In May 2023, the Hamilton Police initiated an investigation upon discovering that a nurse employed at a Long Term Care Facility had misrepresented herself as a qualified nurse to secure employment. Between October 2022 and May 2023, the woman held positions at three Long Term Care facilities. An investigation led by the Hamilton Police Financial Crimes Unit, revealed that the woman forged a real nurse’s legitimate documents into her own name to obtain employment.

Oladoyin (Deborah) Farominiyi, a 29-year-old female of Mississauga has been charged with;

• Fraud over $5000
• False Pretence over $5000
• Four counts of Used Forged Documents

Farominiyi has been released from custody with a future court date.

The police investigation continues, with investigators having contacted both the Ministry of Long-Term Care and the College of Nurses of Ontario.
