Nuclear Medicine Technologist

Alright, let's talk about this PRN Nuclear Medicine Technologist spot at The Woman's Hospital of Texas in Houston, TX. This isn't a standard full time gig; it's as needed, so the schedule varies. But if you're looking for a place that genuinely puts its people; and its patients; first, this is a serious contender.

What You'd Be Doing

You'll handle the full range of nuclear medicine imaging and therapeutic procedures on both inpatients and outpatients. That means working with different types of cameras and equipment every day.

• Receiving radioactive materials and preparing doses is a core part of the job.
• You're responsible for maintaining all radiation safety records.
• Everyone rotates through the hot lab area, so you'll be expected to handle all related tasks there.
• Using established radiation safety techniques and equipment is non negotiable.
• The role includes other clinic duties like scheduling patients and charging for exams.
• Be ready to take emergency after hours call on a rotating basis.

The Specifics You Need

They need someone who's properly credentialed and ready to step into a hospital setting. Here’s the breakdown:

• You must be a graduate of an AMA accredited nuclear medicine school OR an accredited school of radiologic technology.
• A current license with the State of Texas is required, along with either your ARRT or NMTCB certification.
• You've got to have an American Heart Association BLS certification.
• While they'd prefer someone with a year of previous experience in a hospital, it's not an absolute deal breaker if you're the right fit otherwise.

A Bit About This Place

The name says it all: The Woman’s Hospital of Texas. Their founding mission 50 years ago was "Woman First," and that still drives everything they do. They were the first women's hospital in Houston. Now, with over 420 beds, they're the state's premier facility dedicated to women's and children's health, covering everything from breast health and gynecology to high risk pregnancy. They deliver more babies than any other hospital in Texas; over 800 a month; and their Level IV NICU is top tier. You'd be part of HCA Houston Healthcare, which is a pretty big deal around here.
