A KVUE Defenders investigation uncovered a substantial increase in Texas nurses disciplined by the state and losing their licenses. Years after year, nursing ranks as the most trusted profession in the country, but even nurses make mistakes. The Defenders discovered the state is citing them for one type of crime more than any other. Dante Fair found that out the hard way. The 29-year-old father died after registered nurse Dana Tackett hit him head-on driving the wrong way just outside of Killeen on Highway 130 in 2013. Hours before, Tackett left a hospital and went drinking. Tests revealed her blood alcohol content was twice the legal limit.
