What Does A Patient Care Technician Do?
As a Patient Care Technician you’ll play a critical role in patient care, no matter what type of facility you work in. And, with a PCT certification, there are a variety of different career opportunities to choose from. PCTs work hand-in-hand with doctors and nurses in hospitals, doctor’s offices, and long-term care (LTC) facilities, providing standard and advanced clinical duties. PCTs must recognize the individual needs of their patients, and work with other healthcare professionals to create personalized care plans to treat them. This includes caring for and preventing disease and injury, restoring optimal wellness through rehabilitation, educating patients and families, and more. Certified Patient Care Technicians serve meals, change bedding, and handle safety checks. However, they can also perform more important hands-on medical duties such as drawing blood, administering IVs, and measuring/monitoring vital signs. Many people use the PCT certification and their first job as a stepping stone to becoming a Registered Nurse (RN). Whether you want to work in a home or a healthcare facility, a PCT certification will give you a variety of career options to choose from.
