A Nevada woman has been exposed for masquerading as a nurse and doling out phony prescriptions for diabetic children. 

Crystal Scott, 44, hailing from Las Vegas, became embroiled in a startling inquiry last month when a chief nurse from the Clark County School District found unusual discrepancies in an insulin dosage approval note for children.

Authorities allege that Scott deceived families, schools, and pharmacies by pretending to be a licensed nurse, administering insulin and other medications to at least 12 children, as detailed in an arrest document obtained by KLAS 8 News.

After an investigation it was discovered that the documents were forged by Scott, cops said. 

Impersonating a legitimate healthcare provider, she allegedly carried out bogus consultations, issued over 20 fake prescriptions, and operated a luxurious ‘diabetes concierge’ business charging substantial fees.

The mother-of-six was taken into custody Wednesday on 50 felony charges, but has since walked free after posting a $50,000 bond. 

‘She put a lot of people at risk, and some of them don’t even know,’ a parent of an alleged victim anonymously told the outlet.

‘I think it’s really important to add how difficult it is to get into a specialist,’ they added. ‘Wait lists of six to nine months sometimes.’

Scott’s (pictured) online profile, since removed, described her as ‘a registered nurse with a master’s degree in dietetics and a dedicated diabetes educator with 15 years of experience specializing in pediatric care’

Her profile, since removed, described her as ‘a registered nurse with a master’s degree in dietetics and a dedicated diabetes educator with 15 years of experience specializing in pediatric care.’

‘As a board member of Nevada Diabetes Association, she is passionate about advocating for and supporting individuals with diabetes,’ it added.

‘She lives in Las Vegas with her husband and their six children. When she’s not working, Crystal enjoys staying active, focusing on health and wellness, and spending quality time with her family.’ 

But on September 26, an unnamed chief nurse at Clark County School District noticed suspicious details on a note allowing staff to give school children insulin, including some dated years in the future – 2026. 

After examining a dozen more documents, each with inconsistent signatures, the alarmed healthcare provider reached out to the physician whose number appeared on the forms. 

The physician confirmed he had never signed the medical orders, that the signatures were forged, and most damning of all – that he does not treat pediatric patients. 

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department swiftly opened an investigation, revealing that Scott had been using the identities of two licensed physicians without consent and the license number of a registered nurse at a Las Vegas hospital.  

According to the arrest report, she used forged doctor signatures to produce at least 24 fake insulin prescriptions – all without a license or legal right to do so.

After she was taken into custody, police discovered drugs, insulin pumps, blank lab orders using a doctor’s name and completed lab orders signed by Scott herself, according to the report.

Scott was also allegedly the mastermind behind ‘Glucose N Glow,’ a business operating from a Las Vegas Boulevard suite – further fueling her disturbing medical scheme. 

She reportedly peddled diabetes concierge services, neurotoxin treatments, weight-loss programs and IV therapies through her operation – all without bearing a valid business license, according to authorities. 

The so-called ‘concierge diabetes program’ was listed on the now-removed website at $600 for four annual appointments, according to 8 News.  

‘By falsely representing herself as a registered nurse, Scott assumed a position of trust with vulnerable families who relied on her for critical medical treatment for their diabetic children,’ authorities wrote in the report, according to the outlet.

‘Scott provided false assurances to parents, pharmacies and school officials, all while lacking any professional license or medical oversight,’ police added.

She was arrested on 50 felony charges, including 24 counts of possession of a bogus prescription for a dangerous drug and 12 counts each of acting as a nurse without a license and furnishing a dangerous drug to a minor. 

She was also hit with two additional charges for obtaining and using personal information to cause harm or for an unlawful purpose.

On Thursday, Scott faced Las Vegas Justice Court, where her bail was set at $50,000 – an amount she quickly posted to walk free. 

‘Bail for Ms. Scott was set today in accordance with arguments made on her behalf, highlighting her virtual complete lack of criminal history, standing in the community as a veteran of our armed services and as a loving mother herself, attorney Jack Buchanan, who is representing Scott, told 8 News.

‘The complexities of this case will no doubt be litigated in the future to show she at no point meant, or is criminally culpable, of harm to any child within the Las Vegas valley,’ he added.

Her release came with strict conditions: she is barred from performing any medical procedures and from contacting minors other than her own children. 

Scott is expected to make her next court appearance on Tuesday.
