Can I sgn in for the time I was contacted to report to work for OT?Do I sign in for when I show up?

I am a LPN. There was already 2 nurses on the floor when I arrived to a surgery unit at 11:00am. The floor was short because another LPN called out. The ADN that called me in advised me to sign in for 7:00am. The Head nurse on the unit I actually worked told me, "That sounds like theft to me, you should sign in for the time you arrived to the facility". I'm a full time employee on this unit. The Head nurse is my direct report, however the Head nurse reports to the ADN that called me to come in. Can I sign-in for 7:00am with the ADN permission?

No. Sign in for the accurate time you reported to work and for the actual hours your worked. That applies to everyone regardless of position. An employer can pay you more but they do not have to.
