As a patient care technician, you will care for patients daily and contribute to saving lives. With your support, patients can get through the rough days of being sick or injured at the hospital. Developing your technical and workplace skills can build a strong foundation for this job.
One of the most important qualities for a patient care technician is good people skills.
Working in this field, you'll be in one of the most patient-facing roles in the healthcare industry. You'll be dealing with people all day long, including patients, their families, nurses, doctors, and other professionals. You must enjoy working with people since you will be working with patients and other medical professionals daily.
As a patient care technician, you'll need to do more than care for your patients’ current needs; you'll need to anticipate their needs and plan for them. When a patient has a problem, you must figure out how to fix it quickly whether it's changing their bedding or flagging a nurse's attention for something more serious.
You will need to communicate your patient's condition with doctors and nurses daily so they can receive adequate treatment.
Many of your patients will be frustrated, upset, or angry at their situation. They may move or think slower due to an injury or illness. You must exercise patience and respect at all times.
Another essential skill is helping patients handle the basic tasks of day-to-day life.
Since many technicians work in long-term care facilities, they'll be responsible for helping a patient eat, drink, bathe, dress, use the bathroom, and get around. You may have to lift patients out of beds and chairs throughout the day. You'll need to be physically strong.
