Obtaining the registration of license document and changing the name on the document so that one may represent herself as a nurse when she is not is fraudulent behavior. The agency will terminate the individual's employment, because she cannot continue to work as an LPN/LVN. The agency would not notify all patients for whom the individual cared to determine injury. Arrest would occur only if criminal charges are filed. The individual does not hold licensure, so revocation cannot occur.
