    I have been an ER nurse for 10 years and I am in dire need of a change. I submitted my resume for a radiology group that requires ER or ICU experience and was contacted for an interview. The problem is that I am not exactly sure what a radiology nurse does. I am assuming it involves cardiac monitoring, conscious sedation, IV insertion etc. I am excited for the opportunity for change and I want to do well in my interview. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

  3. I just transferred from PEDS ED to Peds Rad. I do lots of iv insertions, caths, port a caths access, drop ngs for contrast. We basically preop the kids prior to GA for the MRI's, then we recover them in a little mini PACU. We also scrub in for IR procedures, inject contrast etc. It's a nice change of pace while still being short stay with your patients

  5. If it does not work for you with the special procedures RN, I am in Florida and looking for Special Procedures RN's and Cath Lab RN's. At Brandon Regional hopsital we are desperately searching for a Cath Lab RN and willing to train! Good luck with the interview!
