Something lighthearted to get you in the right mood for the week to come. And remember, an identity verification is one of the most important background screenings you should do! https://listverse.com/2024/05/19/10-animals-that-suspiciously-earned-human-credentials/

The case of Amanda Leeann Porter, arrested earlier this month for impersonating a registered nurse and working at several hospitals in California, is reminscent of the case of Brigitte Cleroux here in Canada, whose story I used as a case study in "Screening for the One".

It's also why you should conduct more than one kind of background check, starting with an identity verification. (Check out my new article on LinkedIn about the types of background check: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/you-doing-ten-types-background-checks-before-hiring-marty-britton-vumrc.)

It's obvious why fake nurses are bad for patients but what about the impact on their fellow nurses? Here's an interesting article from a nurse's perspective: https://www.nurse.com/blog/fake-nurse-case-wake-up-call-protect-license/

Laws about what you can and cannot check during a background screening change all the time, and differ not only from one country to another but across provinces and states. Case in point: New York's new Clean Slate Act, that deals with criminal background checks. This is why it's always best to outsource these checks to the experts who will ensure compliance. https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/new-york-state-clean-slate-act/
