Kudos to the 18 nurses from Tufts and 6 nurses from Tufts Medical Center who recently attended the Nurse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Summit and Hackathon at Northeastern University. Susanne Meninger, RN, Noelle Kohles, RN, Christine O'Brien, RN, Maggie McLaughlin, RN and Tricia McDonough, RN pulled together and pitched an innovative plan for school nurses. Team “Are You Contagious?” won 2nd place, which included a $1,000 cash award, access to business classes at Northeastern and a lunch consultation with a private innovation group.
