Nolan was a licensed vocational nurse at the Western Medical Center in Anaheim for approximately five years before the sexual assaults.

In December 2009, Nolan was attending John Doe #3, who was asleep, and forcibly  assaulted the victim. On June 9, 2009, John Doe #1 was sedated in a hospital bed when Nolan entered the victim's room and forcibly assaulted him. John Doe #3 and John Doe #1 were both restrained in a hospital bed due to a medical condition and were unable to resist the sexual assault.

On July 29, 2010, Nolan was attending John Doe #2. Nolan fraudulently represented himself as the doctor and sexually assaulted the victim under the false pretense of performing an examination with no legitimate medical purpose
