General M/S - Cert PCT

Your job is more than a job

As a Certified Patient Care Tech (PCT), you’ve got that sixth sense of anticipating and answering the needs of your patients. You are part of a team concept, under the direction of the Registered Nurse and/or Licensed Therapist, performing delegated patient care in a safe and efficient manner, completing documentation of patient related tasks and adhering to the policies and procedures. You believe in kindness, respect and empathy at your patient’s bedside and deliver care like you would want for yourself and your loved ones.

All the call lights, hand holds, medical needs, family questions, and even a proverbial ‘extra blanket” request, you’ve lost count, but you still bring your heart and soul to every single one like it’s your first. And that’s what we love about you.

Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and your “little something extra” all add up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you’ll bring to this hands-on, personal care nursing role.
