Patient Care Tech
May 2019 • Pittsburgh, PA
What I liked
Helping patients, laughing with them, learning about them, learning about caring for different types of patients, being be the patients literal lifeline. Calling the nurse when they physically couldn't get up or breathe, etc. Feeling wanted and needed by someone.
What I wish was different
Management! Due to some days we are too busy to talk with patients, get to know them and do extra things for them like get their makeup on, make them feel a bit better for once. If its not a deadly emergency, we don't have the time to get it done. Patients complain about that we are so busy, sometimes we cant even get them off a bedpan in time/bathroom or get them ice. No time for us to eat or take breaks because we are reached our "Limit of Patient Care Techs" on the unit. Management needs to step it up and use our care techs, not abuse them!
Advice
You must have a real passion for this type of work. Don't be afraid to ask questions to the nurses or charge nurses, they know it better than you.
