Cops: Fake nurse examined children at city hospital

A Feltonville woman allegedly pretended to be a nurse Tuesday at Saint Christopher's Hospital for Children and was busted after examining at least two children, police said Thursday.

Ashley Delvalle, 24, of the 4700 block of North Second Street, was charged with simple assault and indecent assault after she allegedly touched one child during a physical examination and took the weight of another child, police said.

Police found out about Delvalle when a hospital social worker informed officers that a woman went into several patients' rooms and told parents she was a nurse performing examinations. Hospital officials determined DelValle had come to the hospital with her own child before the unusual incidents began.

Delvalle is being held on $50,000 bail.

    You think the worst of what this women's ulterior motives were. I hope there was no sexual contact involved with the children she allegedly "examined".

    What about CHOP's lack of security? Anyone can just walk onto the floors and nobody notices? WTH?

    Either she's a pervert or simply wanted to skip that inconvenient step of actually going to nursing school.

    OMG! You mean to tell me she was able to pull an Elle Driver like Daryl Hannah did in "Kill Bill"? What kind of hospital those people running? Next, they will have a fake surgeon cutting someone open in the operating theatre. Trifling.

    Actually CHOP is leading the way in security and will soon have facial recognition and ID scanning. If you get flagged based on previous arrest issues, additional interviews will take place. Currently those patient areas that need to be secured are.
