Two Florida nursing assistants scammed patients for more than $500,000 and used it to take cruises, get plastic surgery, and even rent a Rolls Royce.

Twenty-nine-year-old Chiquita McGee and 30-year-old Sophia Shephard also managed to convince patients to open credit cards in the names of the nurses, but linked to the patients’ accounts, and let the nurses access an unlimited line of credit, USA Today and TC Palm reported.
