Who is a Radiologic Nurse?
We employ a small team of nurses who provide for the physical, mental and emotional needs of the patient who is undergoing tests or treatment in our radiology sites. The radiologic nurse usually explains the procedures and later, assists with recuperation when necessary from procedures. This may include involving members of the patient’s family. The nurse can perform examinations, or carry out heath measures, within the prescribed guidelines and instructions of the radiologist. In addition, our nurses can record physician findings and discuss cases with either the radiologist or other health care professionals. Our nurses often assist during examinations and treatment. Our radiologic nurses have graduated from an accredited nursing school, have passed national licensing examinations, and hold current registration to practice within Victoria.
