Ortega was arrested in May. At the time, she was working for Ro Healthcare, which the company's website states is a medical staffing and home health agency that helps staff nurses at schools, correctional facilities and for private home care.

Ortega's guilty pleas did not involve a stipulated sentence, the D.A.'s Office said. She is scheduled to be sentenced next month at the South County courthouse in Chula Vista.
