It was a passing comment in one of the threads about new- grad RNs. Can't remember which thread it was on, but I was wondering if anyone else had heard of stories of New Dialysis nurses losing their licenses. I suppose that any nurse working anywhere runs the risk of losing their license, but this comment just ruffled my nerves a bit. Also..... I shouldn't post new threads when sleep deprived because I misspell words like "dialysis!" haha! Oops!

i read in one of the threads below where someone said that dialysis has caused new nurses to lose their license and they wouldn't recommend a new nurse entering into this field. Can anyone give me more info on this? Thanks! :) Just trying to keep my eyes open......

I graduated in May and was hired in July at a Dialysis clinic. It is possible! :)

I had not thought of the effect of black colors on depressed patients! Also, I'm not sure if I'll be bleaching machines or not either. :) Thank you so much for your insight! Being a newbie, I want to be able to put the patients at ease as much as possible so I will take your advice and go a more cheerful route! :)

I am a New Grad. starting in dialysis soon. My clinic does not have a set color scheme for scrub colors, and I am thinking of buying a bunch of black scrubs for ease of washing. Is this practical? I read somewhere that bleach splatters are a possibility (inevitability?) in dialysis work. Any advice before I spend a load of $ on scrubs? Thanks so much!

Wow! That was great advice! Thank you. I also start Dialysis next week as a new grad. I am scared to death! :) I have a question that feels very shallow, but can you recommend a good scrub color for dialysis nurses? My clinic does not have a set color scheme and I was thinking of buying black scrubs just for ease of washing the same color. But I read somewhere that bleach splatters are a possibility (inevitability?) during dialysis work. Any advice before I drop a load of $ on scrubs? Thanks so much!
