Greg Abbott and Bill Hill teamed up to secure a guilty plea from David Wayne Rhodes who falsely claimed to be licensed as a registered nurse and who had risen to the position of Director of Clinical Services for Brentwood Healthcare, Ltd. which operates Medicaid-funded facilities. Rhodes pleaded guilty to felony charges of practicing nursing without a license, aggravated perjury and tampering with a government document. His plea bargain got him a 10 year probated sentence and a small fine. It is amazing how folks like Rhodes can fabricate credentials and get away with it for so many years. He fraudulently claimed to be a nurse to gain employment at Brentwood back in 1994.
