Memorial Hospital of Carbondale (MHC)
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist in beautiful southern Illinois, where your expertise will illuminate patients’ lives and advance diagnostic care. This multi‑week assignment, commencing January 12, 2026, invites seasoned technologists to bring precision, compassion, and scientific curiosity to a dynamic clinical setting. Picture yourself delivering high‑quality nuclear medicine imaging with state‑of‑the‑art equipment, while embracing a supportive culture that values your professional voice and long‑term growth. Beyond the clinical arena, you’ll discover a region rich in natural beauty and vibrant communities—from the rolling hardwood forests to tranquil rivers and charming towns—providing a balanced backdrop for your professional and personal life.
Location benefits go beyond a single hospital floor. Carbondale places you in a community known for its warm welcome and access to outdoor adventures. The area offers easy proximity to Shawnee National Forest, where sandstone cliffs, scenic bluffs, and forest trails invite weekend explorations. Explore Garden of the Gods for dramatic rock formations and panoramic views, or wander Giant City State Park to hike among towering limestone cliffs. The region also offers cultural events, local farmers markets, and dining that celebrates Midwestern hospitality. For professionals who enjoy the option to broaden their horizons, this assignment can serve as a gateway to other locations across the U.S., providing diverse clinical settings and the chance to experience new communities while advancing your career.
In this role, you’ll oversee key responsibilities that form the backbone of patient‑centered nuclear medicine imaging. You will prepare and administer radiopharmaceuticals with strict adherence to safety protocols, calibrate and operate gamma cameras, SPECT-CT, and related imaging modalities, and acquire high‑quality images that support precise diagnoses. You’ll perform quality control checks, ensure dosimetry and radiation safety compliance, and maintain meticulous documentation of procedures, doses, and image data. Your collaboration with physicians, technologists, and support staff will drive efficient patient flow, accurate reporting, and timely communication of results. You’ll assess patient needs, explain procedures, and provide reassurance to individuals who may be anxious, demonstrating empathy and clinical expertise. The opportunity for professional growth is abundant: you’ll stay current with advances in nuclear medicine, participate in continuing education, and potentially expand into advanced imaging techniques, quality improvement initiatives, and specialized protocols. The role also opens doors to leadership responsibilities, peer mentoring, and cross‑department collaboration that elevates departmental performance and patient outcomes.
Beyond the core duties, this assignment underscores competitive benefits designed to support you at every step. In addition to a competitive weekly pay range of $3,498–$3,683, you’ll have access to a sign‑on bonus, housing assistance if needed, and the possibility of contract extensions based on performance and facility needs. You’ll benefit from guaranteed hours of 36 per week, with robust scheduling flexibility to help you maintain balance between professional commitments and personal pursuits. A dedicated support team is available around the clock—24/7—so you have immediate assistance as you travel and adapt to new environments. The program emphasizes comprehensive onboarding, safety training, and streamlined administrative support to minimize barriers so you can focus on excellence in patient care and imaging quality.
Company values reflect a steadfast commitment to empowering staff, fostering career advancement, and cultivating a supportive work environment. The organization believes in recognizing expertise, encouraging continuous learning, and promoting an inclusive culture where technologists collaborate, innovate, and lead by example. You’ll join a network of professionals who champion patient‑centered care, ethical practice, and sustained professional development. Leadership encourages open communication, mentorship, and opportunities to contribute to process improvements that enhance efficiency, safety, and patient satisfaction. If you’re driven by a mission to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes while growing your skill set, you’ll find a welcoming, purpose‑driven home here.
Ready to apply? This is your opportunity to join a company that values your contributions and is committed to your ongoing professional development.
