She builds a company. In this episode Rosa Hart, RN, BSN, SCRN, sits down with Sarah Waimon, RN, BSN, CEO of Waimon Innovations Inc. and creator of Looey, a nurse-invented medical device designed to protect healthcare workers from hazardous splash-back during bedpan and ostomy care. Sarah shares her journey from 16 years of bedside nursing across medsurg, oncology, ICU, colorectal, and nursing supervision to becoming a nurse entrepreneur and medical device innovator. She breaks down the moment that changed everything, a contaminated splash to the face on a colorectal postoperative unit, and how it sparked the creation of Looey, a transparent shield that attaches to standard bedpan washers to contain biohazards and protect caregivers. This episode covers nurse entrepreneurship, nurse-led innovation, healthcare worker safety, infection control, and why nursing ideas are the future of medical device development. Topics covered: Nurse-invented medical devices and nurse entrepreneurship Occupational health and healthcare worker safety Infection control and biohazard exposure prevention Ostomy care and colorectal nursing Bedpan washer safety and splash-back prevention Nursing leadership and clinical innovation Mental health gaps in nursing education and patient care From bedside nurse to CEO: the nurse founder journey Connect with Sarah Waimon: Website: www.stopthesplash.com Instagram: @stop_the_splash LinkedIn Pre-order Looey: sarah@stopthesplash.com Connect with Nurse Rosa: Follow Nurse Rosa's INsights in the Health Podcast Library Get the Book: Speak Up, Start Now ( Nurses Week Gift of the Year) On social media: @NurseRosaSpeaks Nurse Rosa's INsights is your g…","meta_description":"What happens when a nurse gets splashed in the face with biohazardous waste and decides to do something about it?
