What education is needed to be a radiology nurse?


What does the job entail, salary, description?

I am trying to find a nurse specialty and someone meantioned it but I'm not positive what exactly the job calls for especially education wise.

The other answerers are incorrect. It's a specialty of nursing. You don't go through radiology school.

"The larger medical centers may employ a radiological nurse who provides for the physical, mental, and emotional needs of the patient who is undergoing tests or treatment in a radiology department. The radiological nurse usually develops and manages a care plan to help patients understand procedures and, later, recuperate from the procedures. This may also include working with a patient's family.

The nurse can perform examinations or carry out preventive health measures within the prescribed guidelines and instructions of the radiologist. In addition, the nurse can record physician findings and discuss cases with either the radiologist or other health care professionals. Often, a radiological nurse will assist during examinations or therapy. Radiological nurses must have graduated from an accredited nursing school. Each nurse must also pass a national licensing examination."

You need to do a radiology course and also i think it involves nursing as well.
