I know this may be a silly question to some... I just need either some reassurance that it would be ok or a big NO it would not. I am not pregnant yet, but I am planning on starting a new job as a rad nurse. I want to have a couple more kids and will be working when I am pregnant. I know there are shields to wear and precautions will be taken, I'm sure, but I know mistakes can happen. Is it too risky? Please let me know! If you have a website or specific info for me to read, I would appreciate it.

Hello! I am going to be starting a new position next month in a unit that does diagnostic imaging and cath lab procedures. I have ICU experience, but I know there will be a lot that I don't know in this job. I will be placing picc lines too. I have looked around a little here and you nurses seem like a wonderful resource, but I was wondering if there were websites that you know of that give more info on Rad nursing, cath lab nursing, picc lines...? It sounds like I won't be scrubbing on most procedures, just giving meds, monitoring pts, and documenting. But I would like to try to learn a little before I walk in to the place!! :) Thanks in advance!! Carissa
