RN - Interventional Radiology

Overview

The staff Registered Nurse (RN) is a professional caregiver who assumes responsibility for a group of patients for a designated time frame and provides care via the nursing process, nursing trends, technology, financial and human resources within the institution's philosophy. Interventional Radiology encompasses three specialties—Radiology, Vascular Surgery, and Neuro Intervention—and performs C‑arm guided procedures.
