Upcoming Webinars

Introduction to Radiological Health and the role of Nursing in Nuclear Medicine, Radiology and Radiation Oncology

Thursday, November 14 | 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. CT
1.0 Contact Hours
Speaker: COL Ricardo Reyes, PhD

Nursing is not often associated with Nuclear Medicine, Radiology, and Radiation Oncology.  The lack of general education of how to properly handle patients that may be radioactive and the need for protecting nurse providers is a problem in healthcare delivery.  This orientation aims to arm nurse participants with the basic knowledge of radiation and radiation safety for the protection of patients, nurse practitioners, people, and the environment.

Learning objectives:

  1. Describe the difference between radioactive materials, radiation (ionizing and non-ionizing), and radiation-producing devices.
  2. Describe the basic principles of radiation safety
  3. Recognize the role of nurses in nuclear medicine, radiology and radiation oncology
  4. Recognize when a patient safety report involves radiation
  5. Know the role of nurses during a radiological emergency at one of the clinics
  6. Know the role of nurses during a radiological emergency
