Sentara is currently hiring a Patient Care Technician to work at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital on the Inpatient Rehab Unit.
Hours/Shift:
Part-time, dayshift, approximately 7am to 7pm
Department/Position Overview:
Inpatient Rehab (IPR) is an 8-bed unit specializing in providing patients with additional rehabilitation needs for 2-3 weeks when they are not independent enough to go home but do not require a skilled nursing facility. We work closely with physical therapy, occupational therapy, & speech therapy teams while providing care to these patients. We become familiar with our patients and their routines over this longer stay. We enjoy watching our patients progress to going home and that is rewarding as a patient care technician. The patient population includes but is not limited to stroke, spinal cord injury, patients that required amputation or other orthopedic patients that require more therapy after being medically cleared from the hospital.
Patient Care Technicians are unlicensed staff members who are accountable to, and work under the direct supervision of a professional nurse to implement delegated aspects of nursing care. Provide patient care, support the admissions and discharge process, and comply with patient safety practices under the direction of the professional nurse. Observe patients' physical, mental, and emotional conditions and report any change to the nurse.
