Eugenia Lilly

I am a float nurse working across all specialty clinics, including ENT, Gastroenterology, Orthopedics, Interventional Pain, Dermatology, General Surgery, Minor Procedure, Cardiology, Pacemaker, Podiatry, Wound Clinic, Pulmonary, Nephrology, Urology, and Optometry clinics. I screen patients and assist with a variety of procedures, including but not limited to x-ray guided injections, skin biopsies, joint injections, vaccinations, fine needle aspirations (FNA), electrocardiograms (EKG), prostate biopsies, cystoscopy, nasal endoscopy, and ear microscopies, as per policy. I complete (NON-OR) documentation for all procedures performed, as per policy. I also conduct suicide, tobacco, and vaccine screenings. I am capable of working independently or collaboratively without issues. I manage a nurse clinic where patients return solely to see a nurse for suture or packing removal. I communicate lab results to patients and perform follow-up calls to ensure they experience no complications, after procedures. I work closely with the laboratory, collecting specimens, urine, and other samples for testing. Additionally, I educate patients and their families regarding procedures, medications, wound care, and more. I am highly task-oriented and adept at managing my time effectively.
