Our technicians will be responsible for vitals at designated times during the day, along with collecting blood sugars to report to the nurse. They will assist patients with toileting and hygiene throughout the course of the shift. The technician will be in a rotation for providing specialized showers for post-surgical patients with active drains and pacing wires. They will assist patients with ambulation at times and be responsible for accurate account of intakes and outputs that are crucial in cardiac patients.
