About The Position

Orlando Health is hiring an RN Advanced Care for its Interventional Radiology (IR) Department at ORMC. The department uses advanced imaging technologies—including X-ray, CT, and ultrasound—to perform minimally invasive procedures. IR services include feeding and drainage tube placement, neuro-interventional procedures, venous access, tumor ablations, biopsies, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, embolization for emergent trauma, and stroke thrombectomy. The nurse provides specialized care before, during, and after procedures, independently managing patients while recognizing critical-care needs and potential complications and collaborating with the multidisciplinary team. The schedule is four 10-hour shifts per week, Monday through Friday, with varying start times of 6:30, 7:00, or 7:30 a.m. Nurses must be able to respond onsite within 30 minutes when called for emergent cases. The schedule includes seven to eight on-call shifts and four closing shifts in each six-week schedule period. The department is closed on the six Orlando Health-observed holidays and weekends; designated on-call teams cover emergent procedures during those times. The role includes assessing and monitoring patients, developing and revising individualized plans of care, responding to emergencies, documenting care, coordinating and delegating patient care, and collaborating with medical staff and interdisciplinary teams. Nurses may also contribute as preceptors, charge nurses, unit educators, or nurse clinicians and participate in professional development and quality-improvement activities. Orlando Health describes a comprehensive benefits package available from day one, including medical, prescription, dental, and vision plans; financial and family support; paid time off; and learning and career-development programs. The posting also includes duties specific to trained ECMO specialists; those responsibilities apply to nurses who have received specialized ECMO training.
