UVA Health's Interventional Radiology team offers experienced RNs the opportunity to practice in a highly specialized environment where imaging-guided procedures, advanced technology, and collaborative care come together every day.
nThis is an excellent opportunity for an RN who enjoys a fast-paced procedural setting , values strong physician and technologist collaboration, and wants exposure to a broad range of minimally invasive interventions. You will support patients across the full procedural continuum , from pre-procedure assessment through sedation monitoring and recovery, while developing deep expertise in one of healthcare's most dynamic specialties.
nThe Role

nnnAssessing and preparing patients for procedures, including vital signs, IV access, procedural readiness, patient history, allergies, NPO status, cardiac rhythm, and relevant risk factors.

n
