Travel Registered Nurse IR Job

Embark on a transformative journey as a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in Interventional Radiology in Carbondale, Illinois. This is your opportunity to elevate patient care in a high-impact specialty while embracing the freedom and variety that comes with travel nursing. In IR, your precision, compassion, and critical thinking directly influence outcomes during a spectrum of procedures from catheter-based therapies to minimally invasive interventions. Picture yourself leading sterile technique, monitoring hemodynamics, and collaborating with interventional teams to ensure comfort, safety, and seamless recovery for every patient. And when you’re off the clock, the beauty of Illinois awaits—Shawnee National Forest’s towering bluffs, the Garden of the Gods’ red rock vistas, and Giant City State Park’s forest trails offer restorative escapes just a short drive from your base in Carbondale.

Location benefits expand beyond one city. Carbondale is a welcoming academic town anchored by Southern Illinois University, with cultural events, dining, and outdoor recreation that enrich daily life. The region offers affordable housing, a tight-knit community feel, and quick access to regional hubs for occasional travel between sites. For crafted experiences nationwide, this role also provides opportunities to serve in other locations across the United States, expanding your clinical network, sharpening your IR skills, and enriching your professional story as you grow with a company that supports mobility, learning, and career advancement.

Ensure equipment readiness, maintain procedural safety, and educate patients and families about post-procedure expectations, discharge instructions, and warning signs requiring prompt follow-up.
- Professional growth: The IR specialty is rapidly evolving, and this role offers ongoing clinical challenges, diverse case mix, and structured opportunities to advance your expertise. You’ll gain proficiency with catheter-based therapies, vascular access techniques, contrast administration safety, anesthesia monitoring, and post-procedural recovery pathways.

- Support and stability: Our commitment goes beyond the shift. You’ll have 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring you’re never alone when navigating clinical questions, logistical challenges, or urgent situations. From credentialing and onboarding to on-site supervision and post-assignment debriefs, we’re there every step of the way to help you thrive in a dynamic travel environment.
- Location-to-location flexibility: While Carbondale anchors this placement, you may have opportunities to travel to other partner facilities across the U.S. This exposure promotes adaptability, broadens clinical exposure, and strengthens your professional network—qualities highly valued in today’s evolving healthcare landscape.
