A 23-year-old man, Kyle Jones, was arrested May 22 for allegedly impersonating a nurse and responding to emergencies at Pittsburgh-based UPMC Presbyterian Hospital, according to a Channel 11 News report.
Hospital staff reported around 2 a.m. that several members of the Rapid Response Team were suspicious of a man who was responding to codes and wearing scrubs that were slightly different from the hospital's uniform.
The Rapid Response Team director told police Mr. Jones identified himself as a registered nurse.
Police arrived at UPMC and found Mr. Jones in the hospital's cafeteria without proper identification. He told officers that he worked for a company called Visiting Angels, which was determined to be false, according to the report.
"While responding to a patient with urgent needs, hospital staff spotted a person attempting to assist who was not wearing a hospital ID and who was wearing scrubs that do not match our uniform," a UPMC spokesperson told Channel 11. "We reported this to police, had him arrested, and police are now handling the matter."
Mr. Jones faces impersonation, criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct charges.
