Work History
Patient Care Technician, ICU
MercyOne Genesis Medical Center
10.2023 - Current
My role as a patient care tech in the ICU was to assist RNs with the daily care of patients, such as bathing, feeding, ambulation, and oral hygiene. I participated in patient admissions, code set-ups, ventilation set-ups, open-heart room set-ups, transfers, and discharging processes. I would collect blood from the blood bank for the RNs and would be involved in the double-verification process. I assisted RNs with 2-hour turns to help maintain the patients' skin integrity. I would also check the patient's blood glucose and use the electronic medical record to chart it. I continually practiced hand hygiene and used the aseptic technique. I used proper disposal of contaminated materials and utilized proper PPE when in contact with a patient in isolation. I continually assessed patients' vital signs, looking for any abnormal trends to report to the RN.
