Nurse Inventors

I have a couple of patents from when I worked at a medical device company and designed some components. I was more the overall ideas woman, and then the engineers made it happen. Still goes under my name though!

Lani - that is what I am afraid of might happen! Its a shame because they know you don't have $8000 laying around, probably think you don't have enough to sue them for taking your idea...especially when you didn't bother to patent it. I wonder how many brilliant ideas have been held back because of people being afraid of being taken advantage of. I wonder, if you are a nurse if a hospital liked your idea if they would sponser it getting developed if their name was connected to it? Might have to work at a teaching or research hospital for that to happen though. I know there must be some hospitals that try to motivate nursing innovation.
