assist staff as needed. Patient Care Technicians (PCTs) perform
various duties, including phlebotomy and assisting physicians and
nurses. Respiratory Therapy is available in the unit 24/7. RNs are
not required to read their own telemetry strips; however, they

needed. Scrub colors are royal blue. Unit-specific orientation will

engagement, reducing reportable events through effective
communication, and improving performance and quality assurance
programs. Strong relationship management and influencing behaviors
are essential for success in this role.
