Assisting Texas and Rhode Island Nurses and Doctors

If you have had a complaint lodged against you to a medical or nursing board, Joyce Stamp Lilly, R.N., J.D., can help at your hearing. She will advocate for you from her unique perspective of a registered nurse and an experienced medical and nurse malpractice lawyer.

Ms. Lilly assists people who have been charged with violations of the nursing practice acts of both Rhode Island and Texas. Common charges are:

  • Medication errors
  • Nursing assessment errors
  • Communication issues: misunderstandings of patients
  • Documentation errors
  • Misappropriated narcotics

It is vital to take alleged violations of a medical practice act or nursing practice act very seriously. If you ignore the charge, you can face formal charges and your license may be automatically taken away.

With a clear understanding of the medical culture, Attorney Lilly knows how to help you make your case. She has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from the University of Rhode Island College of Nursing, where she is an Adjunct Instructor. Ms. Lilly worked in clinical settings as an RN in both in-patient and outpatient facilities, and has spoken about both nursing and legal issues to nurses and attorneys. She can advocate for a wide range of clients, including:

  • Physical therapists
  • Physicians
  • Physicians assistants
  • Licensed vocational nurses
  • Registered nurses

Nursing practice acts in general, and the Texas Nursing Practice Act and the Rhode Island Nurse Practice Act in particular, set forth obligations that nurses must follow. Anyone accused of violations must take those charges very seriously. The professional boards see nothing but the piece of paper on which your charge is written. When the board reviews a complaint, you have an opportunity to respond to the allegations and you should have an advocate who understands both nursing and the law.

As an experienced registered nurse and nurse malpractice lawyer, Ms. Lilly knows how to assemble a case. She will assist you in responding to the complaint, and understands the pertinent documents to gather and review.

The board may not be able to dismiss a complaint against you, but Ms. Lilly can assist in developing a compromise.
