Job Summary

Kent Hospital is seeking a highly skilled Interventional Radiology (IR) RN to join their procedural team. This role requires a nurse who is proficient in all three phases of IR care: preparing patients for complex imaging-guided procedures, providing moderate sedation intra-operatively, and managing immediate post-procedural recovery. You will be a key player in a fast-paced environment that handles everything from vascular access and biopsies to life-saving embolizations.

Key Responsibilities

• Procedural Sedation: Administer and monitor moderate (conscious) sedation; maintain airway patency and hemodynamic stability during high-acuity interventions.
• Intra-Procedural Support: Scrub-in and assist physicians with sterile tray setups and wire/catheter exchanges. (Vascular and scrubbing experience is highly preferred).
• Patient Assessment: Conduct comprehensive pre-procedure assessments (lab review, allergy screening) and post-procedure site management (sheath removal, hematoma monitoring).
• Vascular Access Management: Expertly manage PICC lines, ports, and arterial access sites, including the use of closure devices.
• Emergency Response: Participate in the On-Call rotation for nights, weekends, and holidays to support emergent IR cases (e.g., GI bleeds or stroke interventions).

Requirements & Qualifications

• Experience: Minimum 2 years of Interventional Radiology experience (Pre, Intra, and Post-op).
• Skills: Must have documented experience in Moderate Sedation. Vascular experience and scrubbing proficiency are strongly preferred.
• Licensure: Active Rhode Island (RI) RN License.
• Certifications: AHA BLS and ACLS (Required).
• Flexibility: Ability to rotate day-shift start times and participate in mandatory on-call duties.

Unit & Facility Details

• Department: Interventional Radiology (31170-60095).
• Operating Hours: Monday–Friday, 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM.
• Location: Warwick, RI 02886.

Financial & Logistics Notes

• Flex Schedule: Your 8-hour shift start time will vary daily between 7:30 AM and 8:30 AM based on the procedural schedule.
• On-Call: Rotating call is a mandatory requirement for this position; ensure your agency clarifies the call-back rate and response time requirements.

Clinical Spotlight: The IR Specialist

In the IR suite, you are the patient’s primary advocate while they are under sedation. Your role is a unique hybrid of ICU-level monitoring and OR-level sterile technique. Whether you are assisting in a Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) or a complex Thrombectomy, your ability to anticipate the physician's next move while keeping a sharp eye on the patient's end-tidal $CO_2$ and vitals is what ensures a safe outcome.

Warwick is perfectly situated just south of Providence and close to the beautiful Rhode Island coastline.
