Hi,

 

I have a question for anyone who may have some experience with nurse practitioners employed in the radiology dept. I’m looking at going back to school for this, and am interested in doing procedures (paracentesis, thoracentesis, fluoroscopy, H&P’s etc) placing central lines (I currently place piccs) and other mid-level functions. I greatly appreciate hearing from any one with any information regarding this type of advanced level nursing practice. Specifically, what is your experience with the scope of practice, what is the pay and what opportunities are out there for this specialty?  Also, what type of nurse practitioner best suits this role (FNP, Acute Care NP, Adult Care NP, etc.)?

 

Thanks!
