About The Position
The Patient Care Technician is a member of the care delivery team and works under the direction of, and in assistance to, a Registered Nurse. The role provides delegated direct patient care interventions, including sterile and non-sterile procedures, and helps maintain a safe environment for assigned patients. The technician completes assigned work, monitors patients for changes in condition and reports changes to the RN, documents completed work, and records and reports pertinent observations. The position also uses clerical skills to support efficient workflow and safe, quality, patient-centered care, continuity of care, and patient satisfaction. Independent clinical decision-making is outside the scope of this role; clinical questions are referred to a provider or nurse. The technician collaborates with the interdisciplinary care team, communicates relevant patient information promptly, supports infection prevention, assists with activities of daily living and measures and records patient weights, heights, and vital signs. Care is guided by Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring, with emphasis on caring relationships, respect, advocacy, effective communication, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. The role may mentor new Patient Care Technicians and support students, and is expected to participate in learning and professional practice development. This is a full-time, on-site, patient-facing position on a 12-hour night shift, with 36 hours per week. The role has no supervisory or budget responsibility.
