Full-Time & Per Diem | Day Shift

Jamaica Hospital Medical Center | Queens, NY

Full-Time: $58.21/hour + Full 1199 Union Benefits
Per Diem: $65.00/hour

If you are an experienced RN who is comfortable caring for patients in a fast-paced procedural environment, Jamaica Hospital Medical Center wants to hear from you.

We are seeking Radiology RNs to provide specialized nursing care to patients undergoing diagnostic and interventional radiology procedures. This role requires an RN who can confidently assess and prepare patients, provide procedural monitoring and nursing interventions, recognize changes in patient condition, and support safe recovery following procedures.

This is a specialty procedural nursing opportunity, not a general bedside RN position.

What You’ll Do

  • Assess and prepare patients for diagnostic and interventional radiology procedures
  • Provide nursing care and monitoring before, during, and after procedures
  • Collaborate with radiologists, technologists, and other members of the procedural team
  • Establish and maintain IV access and administer medications and contrast-related therapies as ordered
  • Monitor patients throughout procedures and recognize changes requiring immediate clinical intervention
  • Provide appropriate nursing support for patients receiving moderate/conscious sedation
  • Monitor patients during recovery and assess readiness for transfer or discharge
  • Recognize and respond appropriately to contrast reactions, respiratory compromise, and other procedural emergencies
  • Educate patients and families regarding procedures, recovery, and post-procedure care

  • Relevant Radiology, Interventional Radiology, Critical Care, PACU, Emergency Department, Cardiac Cath Lab, or comparable procedural nursing experience strongly preferred
  • Current BLS certification required
  • ACLS certification strongly preferred
  • Demonstrated competency in patient assessment and monitoring in an acute or procedural care environment
  • Experience with moderate/conscious sedation and procedural recovery highly desirable
  • Strong ability to recognize and respond to changes in patient condition
  • Excellent communication, clinical judgment, and interdisciplinary teamwork skills
