Registered Nurse (RN)
Registered nurses are among the main components of a nursing team. They are present in a wide variety of care settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, home healthcare agencies, and outpatient facilities. Supervising certified nursing assistants and licensed practical nurses, they take charge of coordinating various parts of the healthcare team, including specialists, monitoring and communicating with patients, administering medication, creating, implementing, and revising care plans according to assessments, educating patients and their loved ones, and doing administrative work when needed.
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN)
A licensed practical nurse, also called a licensed vocational nurse, is in charge of providing basic medical attention to patients and assessing their well-being as part of a healthcare team. Working in conjunction with other nursing professionals, they ensure the maximum comfort that patients can receive while staying in a facility. They do this by helping out with activities of daily living (like bathing, dressing, feeding, etc.), maintaining the cleanliness and comfort of patients, assisting with medication administration and monitoring, updating patient records confidentially, tracking patient health, and reporting any changes to the rest of the medical staff, and aiding patients with moving from one place to another, like gurneys, wheelchairs, and beds.
Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA)
Also referred to as nursing assistants, these professionals work under the supervision of registered nurses and collaborate with other care practitioners in accomplishing plans of care. They work directly with patients in making complex physical tasks much easier for them. Usually, they are charged with responsibilities like turning or moving patients in bed to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers, gathering and stocking medical supplies, aiding patients with personal hygiene tasks (like brushing teeth, combing hair, getting dressed, etc.), responding to patient calls, monitoring and recording vital signs, assisting with certain medical procedures, keeping rooms and facilities clean and sanitized, and transporting patients.
Certified Medication Technician (CMT)
The preparation and administration of medicine are key parts of patient care plans. These professionals are called upon for this essential task. Rigorous training is required to be a certified medication technician, and they are expected to uphold the Five Rights of Medication Administration at all times. Their tasks include administering oral or topical medications under the supervision of a licensed nurse and a physician’s direction, notifying concerned when the patient demonstrates reactions to medicine like pain, keeping track of medications administered, observing side-effects or other results of medicine intake, anticipating patient needs following the implementation of a medication regimen, and promote measures to reduce medication errors and other problems that might hamper the efficacy of the medication.
Patient Care Technician (PCT)
As the name implies, the patient care technician is a care professional who is responsible for completing a wide variety of tasks meant to promote patient comfort and wellness. They are part of the designated team that works hand-in-hand with other professionals under a registered nurse’s supervision. Their tasks include helping patients with personal hygiene activities (like toileting, feeding, bathing, etc.), collecting routine specimens for medical analysis, measuring weight and vital signs, transporting patients, beds, and care equipment, retrieving and delivering medical supplies, managing wound dressings and those for implements like tube feeding and catheters, and preparing patients for procedures like electrocardiograms.
Nurse Managers
In a hectic work environment, healthcare teams will need supplemental direction to stay coordinated. Such is the job of a nurse manager. They work as the point of contact between the care workforce and the administration. Their responsibilities vary depending on the care setting. However, they all generally involve overseeing compliance with professional standards and healthcare regulations, ensuring effective use of resources, monitoring budgets, working with stakeholders to formulate strategies and goals for the efficient movement of departments, aligning care team practices with the rest of the organization, and coordinating with other professionals in intensive care units, emergency rooms, other hospital departments, and even other settings.
Physical Therapists (PT)
These professionals assume the responsibility of aiding patient recovery, preventing injury and relapse, and promoting fitness. Using evidence-based techniques, they diagnose and treat patients of all ages with health problems that hinder their ability to move and perform functional activities in daily life. They assess patient needs, review medication and test results, perform examinations to determine problems, design individualized therapy regimens, and track their progress, adjusting their care plans according to how well they respond. Their aim is to recover and maximize physical capabilities, reduce the need for surgery and medication, and ensure a successful transition into daily life.
Physical Therapy Assistants (PTA)
To ensure the full implementation of physical therapy plans, PTs work with physical therapy assistants. They utilize components of care to guide patients toward their goals, obtain data related to treatment regimens, and modify care plans with the PT to better tailor them to patient needs. Together with the physical therapist, they work to help individuals achieve fitness, regain and maintain independence, and live an active life free of debilitating pain.
Occupational Therapists (OT)
The occupational therapist is a professional who utilizes the therapeutic use of everyday activities, or occupations, to treat the physical, mental, developmental, and emotional ailments that impact a patient’s ability to perform daily tasks. Basically, they improve, recover, or maintain a patient’s ability to live their daily lives. Unlike physical therapy, occupational therapy focuses on treating the whole patient rather than a particular injury, ailment, or disability. They evaluate a patient’s condition to formulate personalized plans, create routines that build toward the achievement of goals, recommend adaptations to expand patient independence, train them and their caregivers in the use of special equipment, and assess and document progress.
Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTA)
Much like physical therapists, occupational therapists also need help to properly accomplish therapy regimens. And so, occupational therapy assistants spend much of their time setting up equipment and providing therapy to patients in line with OT direction. They aid patients in developing, recovering, improving, and, above all, maintaining the skills needed for daily living and working.
Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP)
Speech disorders occur when a person has difficulty producing speech sounds correctly or fluently or has problems with understanding social cues for communication. Speech-language pathologists work to address these problems and bring back a key part of daily living into the lives of patients. They evaluate the root causes of speech, language, and even swallowing disorders, create personalized care plans to address these problems, provide education and training to the family, caregivers, and other concerned health professionals, and work in an interdisciplinary setting to ensure holistic wellness.
