Nuclear Medicine Technologist Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a nuclear medicine technologist in Florida?
To work as a nuclear medicine technologist in Florida, you must hold a valid Radiologic Technologist license issued by the Florida Department of Health under the Board of Medicine's radiation control program. Most employers also require national certification from ARRT in nuclear medicine technology or NMTCB registration. You'll need to complete an accredited nuclear medicine technology program, typically at the associate or bachelor's degree level, before applying for licensure.
How much do nuclear medicine technologists make in Florida?
Nuclear medicine technologists in Florida earn a median of about $97,310 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $80,070 for the lowest 10% to over $110,640 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire nuclear medicine technologists in Florida?
Employers hiring nuclear medicine technologists in Florida right now include Orlando Health, NYU Langone Health, and Ascension, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's concentration of major health systems and dedicated cancer treatment facilities means ongoing openings across both hospital-based departments and freestanding outpatient imaging centers.
Which Florida cities have the most nuclear medicine technologist jobs?
The Florida cities with the most nuclear medicine technologist openings are Jacksonville, Miami, and Orlando. Miami and Tampa drive volume through their large academic medical centers and oncology networks, while Orlando's rapid population growth has expanded its hospital infrastructure significantly, creating steady demand at facilities including regional health systems and specialty imaging practices.
Are there remote nuclear medicine technologist jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Nuclear medicine technology is a hands-on clinical role requiring direct patient contact and operation of specialized imaging equipment on-site. About 0% of nuclear medicine technologist openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those roles are almost entirely limited to administrative, quality assurance, or teleradiology review functions rather than direct imaging work.
How can I get hired as a nuclear medicine technologist in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate or trainee positions at large Florida health systems such as AdventHealth or HCA Florida Healthcare, both of which periodically run structured onboarding programs for newly credentialed technologists. Candidates who hold active ARRT or NMTCB certification and a Florida radiation control license stand out even without years of experience. Lateral moves from radiologic technology or radiation therapy roles are also a recognized entry point at Florida facilities that cross-train staff.
Where can I find and apply to nuclear medicine technologist jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to nuclear medicine technologist jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings updated regularly. Find roles that fit your credentials and location, then apply directly to employers from the listing.
