>> She said4@ she was a nurse
Alink she wasn't.
Now a Moorestown woman is
paying the price for her crimes
before Misty Dawn Bakan Jones4@
reported to prison last week.
She contacted 10 news.
She wanted an opportunity to an
extended pottle an apology to
her victims and to share a
message that could protect you
from dangerous deception4@.
Misty Dawn Bgger Jones is a
wife, mother, grandmother but
never the nurse she claimed to
be.
>> But at the time I was young
and my children4@ had lost their
father.
And at that time I just4@ felt
like I had no support system
and >> due to things from4@ my
past, yo4@u know, out I was ver@
non trust.
I didn't trust anybody with my
kids >>.
According to federal documents
Bakan Jones posed as a nurse
after stealing the license
numbers of actual registered4@
nurses in Tennessee.
She said it was as easy as
going to the state Web site and@
entering her first and middle
names into a verification
system.
It brought up nurses with
si4@milar names4@ using their
license numbers.
Bgger Jones was hired as4@ a
nurse at eight health care
providers in the state,
including nursing homes and
home health care agencies.
Between 20124@ and 2018, federal
authorities say she treated
patients, ga4@ve medications and
was privvy to private4@ medical
information.
I really >> loved you know what@
I was doing and the interaction
I had when some people didn't
have anybody else you know you
you where their person4@ you are
.
And I kind of fell into that
that role4@ wrongfu4@lly.
I know4@ >> at first Big and
Jones worried about getting
caught and hurting someone4@ she
learned on the job >>.
But I would always ask, you
know, 4@first day I am an eing
asking can you show me how to
do that?
And I realized4@ whole that
probably >> wasn't. 4@
I mean it wasn't4@ the way to go
but that's what I did >>.
Her ploy unravled what a
romantic relationship soured
and that person tipped off her4@
employer.
Federal >> prosecutors say
Bakan lied about having a
nursing degree and used the
registered nurse license
numbers of others to get
several jobs over a six year
period >> and investigate4@ led
to federal charges of wire and
healthcare fraud and a
confession and a 51 month
prison sentence >>.
What would you say to them if
they were to be watchin4@g this
right4@ now?
>> I4@ really am truly sorry for
what I did to them.
4@I can say it was selfish4@ of

You know, that was something
. You know, that was something4@ that she worked for4@ and I am
very4@ remorseful for what I did
to her and the fears she4@ must
have >> bacon Jones says.
Her children are also victims.
>> My children never knew.
I mean I didn't only to save a
community a career. 4@
I saved my children.
You know, they thought that
their mom4@ had this career that
she did.
And >> while she can't4@ undo
what she did and Jones says she
can't shed light on ways to
prevent dangerous deception
when it comes to license fraud4@
,I could have been caught
easily.
4@I don't know why was.
As far as4@ you know, my birth
date didn't match on the
nursing license4@.
I think that outside of
fingerprinting, you know,
patient should be more aware of
who's in t4@heir home.
You know, I think there shoul4@d
be4@ photo I.D. >> Misty Dornbeg
and Jones will spend the next4@
four years in this West
Virginia prison time to think
about her choices and the
consequences4@.
I wish I could go back.
Kate, I4@ can't4@ go back.
>> I could only go forward.
And that's what I wanted.
That's what4@ I've been trying o
do and that's what I want to
do.
