A Nurse Inventor and Entrepreneur Creates Nursing Tools That Matter

On episode 419 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Paul Castaneda, RN, CCRN, a 25-year veteran ICU nurse who is also the Founder of NursingTools.com. Nurses are natural problem-solvers, and if they have the chance to create practical tools that solve real-world problems, everyone wins.

It all started in June of 2017. Paul had become frustrated looking for tools specifically for nurses to use at the bedside, and he noticed that medical-surgical, ICU, ER, NICU, and other nurses were always borrowing instruments and modifying medical equipment in order to get simple tasks done.

So Paul decided to designed scissors that could “cradle” ports and effortlessly unfasten stubborn connections that seal themselves from protein-based medications.

Nursing Tools currently sells on Amazon and their website, periodically adding other products that are born from bedside innovation and necessity.
