BRAZOS VALLEY WOMAN ACCUSED OF PRACTICING AS NURSE WITHOUT LICENSE

  

 A College Station woman is being accused of practicing as a nurse without a license for nearly a decade.

Forty-three year old Sheila Marie Vincent turned herself into the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office on Friday after finding out she had a warrant out for her arrest.

She is accused of using the license number of another nurse who practiced elsewhere in the state. Vincent had been practicing at Texas ENT and Allergy in places such Bellville, Brenham, College Station, Crockett, Giddings, Huntsville and LaGrange.

Police say that Vincent never had a nursing license in Texas, and investigators with the Texas Board of Nursing is investigating, saying that, “We take nurse imposter cases very seriously,” said Bruce Holter, information specialist with the Texas Board of Nursing.

College Station police began investigating on January 16, after receiving a tip from someone who knew Vincent, not an employer or patient.

Vincent was released from jail on Friday after posting $25,000 bail.
