SA care nurse charged with deception

A woman will face court charged with lying about her qualifications to gain senior nursing roles at several South Australian aged care homes.

Police say the 64-year-old woman from Gawler West falsified her qualifications to secure work as a registered nurse and director of nursing at a number of aged care facilities from 2010.

The woman was charged with six counts of deception and bailed to appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court on March 18.

Police say there's no evidence to suggest any aged care residents were harmed or ill-treated.
