Patty K. Blaylock, RN CGRN
Southeast Gastroenterology, Cape Girardeau, MO
Patty Blaylock has been in the GI/endoscopy field for 14 years and a member of SGNA since 1996. As soon as Blaylock became a nurse, she became a member of SGNA due to the excitement she shares with other members about GI Nursing. She shared with SGNA (eScope, January 15, 2011) that she is most motivated in her GI/endoscopy career because she learns something new every day. She works with a doctor and nurse practitioner who love to teach, and she loves to learn. She is passionate about educating her patients every step of the way. Joy comes from the smile on the patient’s face and/or the sound of their voice after working together as a team to make them feel better — or given them the good news that their polyps are not cancer.
