The woman accused of duping recruiters with someone else’s credentials to land a nursing job with Central Health made national headlines recently when she was charged and convicted in the death of her four-year-old son.

The health authority announced Wednesday that Lisa Strickland worked more than two dozen shifts at Lakeside Homes long-term care home in Gander from August until November before she was flagged last week by the province’s college of registered nurses.

RCMP are also investigating.

It’s been determined that while she once trained as a practical nurse, she does not hold any licence in the province, and used the licence number of another nurse with a similar name to get the job.

Meanwhile, Ontario’s college of nurses had flagged Strickland on its website before she was hired, noting she has two aliases: Lisa Driscoll and Michelle Driscoll.

The 42-year-old Lisa Strickland, a native of Bonavista and who was convicted last year of criminal negligence causing the death of her son in Ontario, served more than a year in jail for it.

The boy died in 2017 of poisoning from a powerful opiod that Strickland was addicted to while living in Hamilton. It was never established how it got into his system.

After her release, she returned to Newfoundland and within a year was hired as a travel nurse through Solutions Staffing Inc., which has yet to comment on the situation.

Central Health says her licence was verified in error by that company, adding there have been no reports of harm involving Strickland during her time at Lakeside Homes.
