At a hospital or health care-related location, pretty much yes, you will need to lie. You may need to have required education or certifications, but the most important part is that you fit in with the group already there.
"Honesty" isn't really valued as much as one would think. Assimilation is the goal. Also, health care is probably the meanest workplace I've ever been in. I don't work there now, but in that role and in my current role, I parrot the company values and keep my personal feelings to myself. I guess you could say I lie all day long by pretending.
