TAANA's Cassie Edgar wrote an article for The Nursing Beat, highlighting 10 things to know about Intellectual Property. "Nurses are not merely caregivers; they are problem-solvers at the front lines of medicine. Nurses develop new medical devices, refine treatment protocols, and create educational materials. Yet, as patient care and administration come first, it can be all too easy to overlook legal mechanisms available to safeguard these innovations. Intellectual property (IP) law is the cornerstone of protecting innovation, and it’s important for nurses to have a foundation of IP basics." Read more at https://lnkd.in/e5HVPu8U

Nurses play a critical role in healthcare, but sometimes their professional journey involves navigating legal challenges. That’s where nurse lawyers come in—combining clinical expertise with legal knowledge to provide invaluable support. Here are 5 key reasons a nurse might seek the services of a nurse lawyer: 1️⃣ Licensing Issues: Facing disciplinary actions or investigations by the nursing board. 2️⃣ Workplace Disputes: Addressing wrongful termination, harassment, or discrimination. 3️⃣ Malpractice Allegations: Navigating accusations of negligence or malpractice. 4️⃣ Contract Negotiations: Reviewing and securing fair employment terms. 5️⃣ Legal and Ethical Guidance: Managing complex legal or ethical dilemmas in patient care. At the intersection of healthcare and law, nurse lawyers are a vital resource for protecting nurses' rights, licenses, and professional integrity.
