Interventional Radiology (IR) Nurse

As an IR Nurse, you’ll provide specialized care for patients undergoing minimally invasive, image-guided procedures. From assessment and preparation to monitoring and recovery, you’ll ensure patients are safe, comfortable, and supported throughout their IR experience. A key part of the role is administering and monitoring moderate sedation, helping patients feel at ease while maintaining the highest safety standards.

What You’ll Do:

• Assess, prepare, and monitor patients before, during, and after procedures.
• Administer and manage moderate sedation with a focus on patient safety.
• Collaborate with interventional radiologists and technologists during procedures such as angioplasty, embolization, biopsies, and central line placements.
• Deliver high-quality, compassionate nursing care in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

Qualifications:

• Current RN license.
• BLS and ACLS certification (required).
• Additional certifications such as Certified Radiology Nurse (CRN) or Certified Sedation Registered Nurse (CSRN) are highly valued and demonstrate advanced expertise.

Career Path:

Many IR Nurses bring experience from ICU, ED, or PACU settings, where critical thinking and strong assessment skills are essential. On-the-job training and mentorship support the transition into interventional radiology. From there, opportunities for growth include roles such as charge nurse, clinical educator, nurse navigator, nurse manager, or advanced practice nursing in IR.

Step into a dynamic specialty where every procedure makes a meaningful difference in patients’ lives.
