Job Details
IR Nurse prepares Responsibilities Include:

• RN schedules

• JACO compliance

• Medication Management and compliance

• Providing ongoing education to the patient and to the family members. A big part of getting the patient ready is alleviating anxiety.

• Ensuring that the patient and the family members understand the procedure and the plan of care by encouraging them to ask questions before signing the procedural consent.

• Checking their meds, vital signs, NPO status, laboratory results and history to ensure that it is safe to proceed with the planned procedure.
The Procedure Nurse can also be called upon to prepare and/or administer drugs
Post procedure monitoring is just as important. The nurse observes for signs and symptoms of complications such as:

• Bleeding from the puncture site and/or surrounding area

• Pain

• Changes in mental status and vital signs
The post procedure phase is also the perfect time to get family members involved in the care, especially if it involves dressings, tubes and drains that need to be cleaned, changed and flushed. Sometimes, written instructions and showing family members how to do things are not enough. The patient and family members feel great relief when they actually perform the task and realize that it is not so complicated after all.
Because of these critical nursing responsibilities, many hospitals are requiring that IR nurses be certified in conscious sedation and Advance Cardiac Life Support (ACLS).
