Job Description
Unit Overview:
Applicants must possess over a year of experience as a Registered Nurse (RN), with a preference for those who have worked in Radiology.
The role of Radiology RNs involves performing specialized nursing tasks, including administering IV sedation or analgesia during specific procedures, monitoring vital signs such as ECG rhythms, and closely observing patients using cardiac and pulse oximeters, particularly during MRI scans. These nurses will also provide care for patients undergoing nuclear medicine treatments, manage laboratory tasks, handle medications, and conduct pre- and post-intervention follow-up calls. Radiology nurses are responsible for caring for patients transferred from inpatient settings, those in emergency situations, pediatric patients, and others requiring sedation with the assistance of an anesthesiologist.

Other essential duties may include routinely starting or checking peripheral IVs, assessing or de-accessing infusaports, suctioning patients, inserting indwelling catheters, and assisting patients with personal needs.
