About
Patient care technicians provide daily care for patients, typically working under the supervision of a nurse or care team. Their goal is to help patients feel comfortable in what are often uncomfortable situations. They may take sample collections for lab work, for example. They also take and record vital signs. A patient care tech is also responsible for ensuring patients meet appointments for testing and exercise each day.
