Nephrology nurses—both registered nurses and advanced practice providers—face legal risk not only as individuals but also through association with their employers. In many malpractice cases, nurses are named directly or drawn into litigation because they were involved in a patient's care during a key event. Moreover, dialysis providers are not always protected by malpractice caps in certain states, making them and the nurses they employ more attractive legal targets. Understanding this exposure is essential for legal preparedness.
