A patient care assistant, also known as a patient care technician or nursing assistant, is a healthcare professional who provides direct care and assistance to patients under the supervision of a registered nurse or other healthcare provider.
Patient care assistants typically work in hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and other healthcare facilities, where they help patients with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also assist with medical procedures, take vital signs, and provide emotional support to patients and their families.
In addition to providing hands-on care, patient care assistants may also be responsible for maintaining patient records, stocking supplies, and ensuring a clean and safe environment for patients.
To become a patient care assistant, one typically needs a high school diploma or equivalent, as well as completion of a certified training program. Some states may also require licensure or certification. Strong communication skills, empathy, and the ability to work well under pressure are important qualities for a patient care assistant.
