Our Patient Care Technician program is a 14-week course. It consists of 3 classes which include Phlebotomy Technician (online), EKG Technician (online), and Nursing Assistant class (3-week of in-person learning). The Patient Care Technician duties include assisting patients to move around safely, keeping patients/ residents living areas neat and clean, encouraging patients/residents to eat and drink, caring for supplies and equipment, helping patients dress, making their beds, helping patients with mouth care, updating other team members on resident’s status, and documenting or charting. The EKG Technician tasks will consist of performing diagnostic tests to assess the patient’s heart. They ensure proper electrode placement on the patient, record the ECG, prepare the report for the physician, ensure patient comfort and safety, and troubleshoot abnormalities with the recording. While the Phlebotomy portion will have the PCT responsible for obtaining patient specimens. They can perform various functions such as venipuncture, micro-collection, and specimen processing and handling while maintaining patient safety and confidentiality.
