SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. (WESH) – A Florida man stands accused of posing as a nurse for a second time after the relative of one of his patients recognized him from a news story about the first arrest. That relative happens to be a Lake Mary police sergeant.<\/p>\n

Joseph Kinney, 56, faced a Seminole County judge this week on a charge of unlicensed practice of a health care profession.<\/p>\n

Lake Mary Police say Kinney worked as a registered nurse at Aviata at Lake Mary, a rehab and nursing facility, for nearly two months last summer.<\/p>\n

Investigators say his license was revoked in 2022.<\/p>\n

Kinney was said to be working under someone else\u2019s name and license.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re always concerned when this happens because we feel like it\u2019s sort of a stain on the profession,\u201d said Willa Hill, executive director of the Florida Nurses Association.<\/p>\n

According to a case document, a Lake Mary police sergeant recognized Kinney from a news story about his arrest in Volusia County last year. She realized Kinney allegedly had been the nurse caring for her relative at the Lake Mary facility.<\/p>\n

While Lake Mary Police Department\u2019s investigation wrapped up in October 2025, the state attorney\u2019s office in Seminole County didn\u2019t issue a warrant until January 2026.<\/p>\n

Kinney was picked up July 1 in Daytona Beach on the warrant and brought to Seminole County this week.<\/p>\n

This new arrest comes just days after court records show Kinney resolved his Volusia County cases.<\/p>\n

He was accused last September of applying for nursing jobs using another person\u2019s identification and license, and was hired at facilities in Seminole and Orange counties.<\/p>\n

Last month, he was placed on five years of probation with conditions including that he not work in healthcare.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefinitely, we need to make sure and pay attention to this because it is a public safety issue,\u201d said Hill.<\/p>\n
