The Interventional Radiology (IR) Registered Nurse plays a key role in delivering high-quality, patient-centered care within a fast-paced procedural environment. IR nurses at Springfield Memorial Hospital care for a wide variety of patients-from ambulatory outpatients undergoing minor procedures to critically ill inpatients requiring complex, time-sensitive interventions such as stroke. This role requires a strong clinical foundation, exceptional critical thinking, and the ability to respond quickly to rapidly changing patient conditions. Unlike ICU or ED nursing, the IR environment offers intense clinical engagement one patient at a time, allowing the nurse to focus deeply while supporting a high-turnover workflow. As part of a Magnet hospital, IR nurses are expected to embrace lifelong learning, uphold high standards of clinical excellence, and consistently exceed patient experience expectations.
Key Responsibilities
Provide comprehensive nursing care for patients undergoing IR procedures across seven imaging modalities, including:
CT
Ultrasound
Diagnostic X-ray
Molecular Imaging
MRI
Baylis outpatient imaging
Interventional procedural suites
Perform and assist with a broad range of procedures, including moderate sedation, cardiac medication administration for imaging exams, vascular access, and pre-/post-procedural care.
Monitor and manage hemodynamics, vital signs, sedation levels, and procedural responses.
Care for ICU, IMC, and ED patients requiring IR interventions.
Maintain proficiency in IV placement, dressing assessment, medication administration, and procedural readiness.
Function as the sole nurse in the procedure room, collaborating closely with radiology technologists, physicians, and multidisciplinary teams.
Support a fast-paced, high-turnover setting while maintaining patient safety, compassion, and calm communication.
Document all assessments, interventions, and procedural events accurately and promptly.
