Patient Care Technician - Cardiac Observation Unit (PCT) - Gateway

Patient Care Technician (PCT) – Cardiac Observation UnitIf you want a hands-on role in one of the most advanced and fast-moving areas of the hospital, the Cardiac Observation Unit (COU) is where you'll want to be. As a Patient Care Technician (PCT), you'll be directly involved in caring for patients recovering from high-level cardiac and electrophysiology procedures—supporting some of the most complex and closely monitored patients in the facility.This is not routine care. This is specialized cardiac recovery and observation, where your attention, speed, and compassion directly support patient safety and comfort during critical recovery periods.Why This Unit Stands OutThe COU is a high-acuity, procedure-heavy cardiac unit where you'll see a wide range of advanced interventions, including:Cardiac catheterizations and structural heart proceduresAblations, cardioversions, and electrophysiology studiesPacemaker, defibrillator, and loop recorder implantsAdvanced procedures such as TAVR and LAAO recoveriesChest pain rule-outs and arrhythmia observation casesWith a 30-bed, 24/7/365 operation that blends procedural recovery and acute observation, this unit gives you constant exposure to cutting-edge cardiac care and rapid clinical decision-making.If you want experience that builds real cardiovascular knowledge fast, this is it.What You'll DoYou'll be a critical part of the care team, helping patients safely transition through recovery and observation:Provide hands-on patient care including hygiene, comfort, and daily needsAssist with mobility, repositioning, and safe transfersMonitor and accurately record vital signsDocument patient information that guides clinical decisionsSupport patients and families through high-stress, high-stakes momentsThis role requires presence, resilience, and strong attention to detail—because in cardiac recovery, small changes matter.What Makes This a Strong OpportunityDirect exposure to advanced cardiac and procedural recovery careFast-paced environment that builds strong clinical skills quicklyHigh-acuity patient population that strengthens critical thinkingA meaningful role where your care supports life-saving interventionsRequirementsBasic Life Support: Health Care Provider certification within six months of hireHigh school diploma or GED preferredEqual Opportunity Employer This employer is required to notify all applicants of their rights pursuant to federal employment laws.
