Charrybelle Talaue is posing as a registered nurse as she tries to get a job in a hospital.
A woman claiming to be a registered nurse is trying to get a job in a B.C. hospital, says the professional regulator of nurses in a public advisory. The B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives said Charrybelle Talaue has posed as a registered nurse in order to seek employment at a hospital.
Talaue may use different names, including Charrybelle Perez Talaue, Charrybelle Talaue Baldesancho, Belle Talaue, Belle Marie, Charrybelle Baldesancho or Charie Talaue.
“This person has never been and is not a registrant of BCCNM and is not entitled to practice as a registered nurse in British Columbia,” said the regulator in a notice posted on its website Thursday.
Talaue may also be using the name of a person registered with the B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives, Yves Anglehart. She may be also be using the variations Belle Yves Talaue Anglehart or Yves Belle Anglehart.
The college reminded employers they need to verify an applicant’s registration status with the college for positions of registered nurses, registered psychiatric nurses, licensed practical nurses, nurse practitioners, and midwives.
The process ensures that only qualified applicants are employed in nursing and midwifery positions in B.C., it said. In 2021, a fraudulent nurse working at B.C. Women’s Hospital was arrested by Vancouver police.
Brigitte Cleroux was charged with fraudulently using the name of a registered nurse while she was employed by the hospital in 2020 and 2021 and involved in the care of 899 patients. She was sentenced to seven years in jail last year after being convicted on similar charges in Ottawa, including fraud, impersonation and assault.
Patients treated by Cleroux had filed civil claims, including a proposed B.C. class-action lawsuit against her, the Provincial Health Services Authority, which runs the B.C. Women’s Hospital, and the B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives.
