Jerri (Denee’) Robison
Denee’ Robison has worked for UTMB CMC for the last 8 ½ years of an 18 year nursing profession as an RN. She came to UTMB from the Texas Tech sector as a West Texas native and Texas Tech graduate. Her family, which includes her husband Justin, and one son Zaden, has managed to make this side of Texas their home. They have also made UTMB staff/employees their beloved family.
She has worked her way up through her career from nurse aide to her current position as the Region 2 Nurse Manager with oversight of 26 prison units scattered over Northeast Texas. She understands what it means to be the only RN on the floor to make the critical decisions trying to ensure safe patient care. She has shared the med aide’s aggravation in segregation that has 8 wings of medications to pass alone because the other med aide called in sick…again. She has lived both scenarios countless times. Her past experiences have been critical to her success today. They have allowed her to fully appreciate the nursing staff and to be able to articulate their concerns.
Her professional skills relate to nursing but throughout her career, she has gained a respect for all disciplines related to each other in the work environment. She knows we all need one another’s skills and perspective to compassionately fulfill our mission to the patient population we ALL serve.
Her interests are in various leadership projects throughout CMC and bringing forth positive change in the work environment. She works closely with her peers and CNO to shape policy and procedure. She frequently visits her units not just to seek what is wrong but to also seek what is right. She stays involved and remains “hand’s on” out of necessity to maintain focus on frontline employees’ needs. She is honored to have been elected to the EAC as one of the three voices to represent many within CMC.
