Banner Desert Medical Center is seeking a Certified Patient Care Assistant to join our Observation unit. Become part of our Outpatient Observation Unit As a Patient Care Assistant, you will have the opportunity to be a part of a team-oriented unit where RNs and PCA’s work cohesively and in collaboration with one another, as well as with the interdisciplinary team. If you enjoy working with a great team of professionals in an exciting environment this is the place for you.

The Observation Unit fills a universal need by providing a setting of care for patients not requiring an inpatient admission to receive additional diagnostic workup or therapeutic intervention beyond the scope of a typical Emergency Department visit. The growth of observation medicine has been driven by innovations in health care, an ongoing shift of patients from inpatient to outpatient settings. Observation medicine encompasses the management of appropriate patients for a timeframe of 6 to 24 hours in order to assess their need for inpatient admission or discharge them home. Relative to traditional admission, studies have shown this alternative to have several beneficial health care outcomes. The Observation Unit has 65 beds.

This is a full time Night Shift working from 6pm-6:30am.

Weekend rotations are required in this role. Enjoy a flat rate $1/hour weekend shift differential and an 18%-night shift differential when applicable. Day and Night shifts are available for this position.
