Emergency Department Registered Nurse
Travis Deeth, BSN, RN
Seven years of experience in fast-paced emergency departments, psychiatric units and float pools, from 12-bed rural ERs to Level II trauma centers.
About
I'm a dedicated registered nurse who thrives in high-stress, high-acuity environments. My work centers on high-quality, compassionate care: rapid assessment and triage, sound clinical judgment across a wide range of medical emergencies, and close collaboration with interdisciplinary teams to get patients the best possible outcomes.
As a travel and float nurse, I've adapted quickly to new units, teams and EMR systems in Tennessee, the Carolinas and New Mexico. I'm passionate about patient advocacy, patient and family education, and continuous professional development, and I enjoy training and mentoring new nurses and nursing students.
