A woman accused of using fake or stolen I.D.s to get jobs as a nurse at long-term care homes is going to trial on one of the dozen charges she faces.

Police believe 44-year-old Lisa Driscoll used a couple of different surnames to trick employers into hiring her—including Strickland and Harris.

In total, she faces three counts each of fraud and breaching probation, two counts of identity theft and one count of perjury. She’s also accused of infractions under the provincial Licensed Practical Nurses Act and Registered Nurses Act.

Those charges are before the courts in St. John’s and were called this morning.

But the case was postponed when it was learned a trial date on a separate charge has been set for April in Gander.

That’s where Driscoll is facing a charge of theft under $5,000, accused of stealing prescription drugs from residents at Lakeside Homes retirement facility.

That caught the court by surprise, since it was earlier suggested all Driscoll’s charges would be combined in St. John’s.

Driscoll also worked as an LPN at Chancellor Park in St. John’s for more than a year, as well as stints at Lane’s and Kenny’s Pond in 2021.

An update on how the case will proceed is expected when it’s called again in St. John’s on January 29.
