About The Position
As a Patient Care Assistant (PCA), you’ll be at the heart of patient care, working directly with nurses to provide vital support. Your day-to-day will be dynamic and rewarding as you collaborate with nurses on patient care plans at the start of each shift, ensuring you’re always in the loop. You will assist in patient admissions, from gathering initial information to helping them settle in, and take on essential tasks like monitoring vital signs (temperature, blood pressure, pulse, etc.). Additionally, you will help patients with their everyday needs (ADLs), including eating, bathing, and moving, and safely transport patients between units and to diagnostic tests. Keeping patient rooms organized and stocked, maintaining a clean, comfortable, and safe environment is also part of your responsibilities. You will document everything in the EMR system with precision, ensuring up-to-date patient records, and work alongside your team, supporting the unit by handling supplies, equipment, and more. You will take the lead in maintaining safety and comfort, being responsible for turning and repositioning patients using proper techniques. This role also allows you to grow your skills by performing technical care under RN supervision, following protocols and guidelines. Weekend shifts are required, and you may be asked to assist in a Patient Safety Assistant role while balancing your PCA duties.
