Travel Registered Nurse IR Job

Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Nurse specializing in Interventional Radiology in Chico, California, where precision, compassion, and critical thinking intersect to transform patient outcomes. In IR nursing, you guide patients through image-guided procedures—from meticulous pre-procedure assessments and informed consent to sterile technique, sedation monitoring, and vigilant post‑procedure observation. Your expertise helps minimize risk, enhance comfort, and accelerate recovery, all while collaborating with radiologists, technologists, and fellow nurses who share a commitment to clinical excellence. This assignment provides a powerful platform to sharpen technical skills, broaden clinical judgment, and demonstrate leadership in a fast‑paced specialty. As you grow your career, you’ll also enjoy California’s varied scenery—from the charm of downtown Chico to nearby outdoor retreats—reminding you why healing and well‑being go hand in hand. For nurses seeking broader horizons, this role can serve as a doorway to assignments in other U.S. locations, expanding your professional network without compromising your core standards of patient care.

Location benefits: Chico’s welcoming community blends university-town energy with outdoor recreation, offering a supportive hospital culture, accessible housing options, and a focus on work‑life balance. You’ll be part of a well‑established IR team that values continuity of care, patient education, and safe procedural practices. The assignment provides guaranteed 40 hours per week, predictable scheduling, and competitive compensation, with the option to explore additional locations through our travel network. Whether you’re drawn to northern California’s scenic rivers and foothills or the opportunity to rotate through facilities across the U.S., you’ll gain exposure to diverse patient populations, equipment, and procedural nuances that strengthen your bedside confidence and professional versatility.

Role specifics and benefits: As the IR RN, you’ll support patients undergoing a range of interventions, including angiography, stents, embolizations, and diagnostic studies. Responsibilities include preparing the patient, verifying medications, managing invasive lines and sedation under physician and anesthesia oversight, maintaining sterile technique in the IR suite, and monitoring vital signs with acute awareness of evolving clinical status. You’ll participate in post‑procedure handoffs, discharge planning, and patient education, translating complex information into clear guidance for patients and families. The role offers pathways for professional growth through specialty certifications, protocol development, and leadership opportunities within the radiology service line. You’ll receive competitive compensation with a weekly pay range of $2,713 to $2,906, plus a current calendar of benefits that may include a sign‑on or retention bonus, housing assistance or lodging stipends, and the possibility of contract extensions for aligned performance and unit needs. This assignment is designed as a multi‑week engagement with guaranteed 40 hours per week, starting on 02/05/2026, with typical opportunities to extend based on mutual interest and clinical needs. Commitment to outstanding support is a hallmark of the program, including 24/7 assistance from our dedicated travel support team as you move between assignments.
