Patient Care Technician Jobs

At Franciscan, the Patient Care Technician (PCT) Trainee attends training that includes classroom instruction, skills lab, and clinical education. Under the direction of the RN, the PCT Trainee performs delegated patient care activities in a manner that is aligned with the age specific needs of the patient to ensure safe, accurate, and high-quality care. This course will train you to be eligible to work as a Patient Care Technician within the Franciscan Health Network. The PCT Trainee is an entry level position. The program is 6 weeks long; the first 2 weeks are classroom based and clinical rotations start on the 3rd week. The schedule could change depending on the clinical rotation and shift available. You will be provided with the necessary books, study materials, and any required equipment for the trainee course. You must provide your own scrubs (royal blue). The program is comprised of quizzes, a midterm exam, final exam, and final simulation. Successful completion of the program is determined by an 80% pass rate or higher. Upon program completion, you will be assigned to a unit based on the needs/availability at the time of program completion. You will be eligible for a 0.6 (part-time) or 0.9 (full-time) position at the end of the program, but this does not guarantee you a PCT position. This program is not a CNA certification class and does not make you eligible to take the state CNA exam.
