About The Position

The Emergency Department (ED) Technician provides essential direct and indirect
patient care support under the supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN), playing a
critical role in maintaining a safe, efficient, and patient-centered environment
within the ED

The ED Technician performs a wide range of direct patient care activities,
including vital sign assessment and documentation, completion of 12-lead EKGs,
and bladder scans. This role involves assisting patients with activities of
daily living (ADLs), such as personal hygiene, mobility, and toileting, and
providing constant observation for high-risk patients to ensure their safety and
well-being. Clinical responsibilities also encompass phlebotomy, specimen
collection and labeling, and performing Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) as
delegated. The technician assists with various procedures, including
intubations, lumbar punctures, pelvic exams, joint aspirations, wound care,
eye/ear irrigations, suture/staple removal, and foley leg bag application. A key
aspect of the role is supporting orthopedic procedures , which includes the
application of traction, OCL splints, and C-spine immobilization, along with
providing patient education on the proper use of orthopedic devices and crutch
walking. Additionally, the technician assists with patient triage activities
under the direct supervision of an RN.

Beyond direct patient care, the ED Technician is integral to operational support
and emergency preparedness. This includes maintaining a clean, organized, and
well-stocked patient environment, encompassing cleaning and stocking patient
rooms and supply areas, and assisting with the overall maintenance and inventory
of ED supplies and equipment. The ED Technician actively participates in
emergency response activities, such as code blue alerts, decontamination
(decon), and Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) response. Effective communication with
the healthcare team regarding patient status and delegated tasks is essential.
The role also contributes to departmental development by assisting with
orientation, training, and quality assurance initiatives. The ED Technician must
