Patient Care Technician job description
238 verified openings in Patient Care Technician
Patient care technicians give hands-on daily care under the direction of nursing staff: bathing, dressing, feeding, transferring and repositioning patients, taking vital signs, and reporting changes in condition. Many of these roles add skills a plain nursing assistant post does not, including phlebotomy, EKG, and, in dialysis units, machine setup and monitoring, so the title often hires and pays differently. BLS measures the work as nursing assistants, 1,505,900 counted in 2025 with another 52,800 orderlies beside them, and put nursing assistant pay at $42,260 for May 2025. Skilled nursing facilities hold 36 percent of these jobs and hospitals 32 percent, buildings that run all day and all night.

Technician ads join that feed as employers add them, each checked before it appears, and the usual ticket in is a state-approved training program and a competency exam rather than a degree. Employers hiring against roughly 203,300 nursing assistant and orderly vacancies a year need the ad to be concrete. Spell out which extra skills this job actually uses, whether that is phlebotomy, EKG, or dialysis, then the ratio, the lifting, the hours, and whether the employer trains and certifies for the extras. Technicians pick jobs off exactly that list.
