As a personal support worker (PSW), you are required to provide those needing assistance with daily personal care as they deal with the effects of aging, injury, or illness. A PSW works under the direction of a registered nurse or registered practical nurse assisting patients with personal hygiene, meal preparation, household management, and in dealing with various ongoing conditions.
Throughout the Personal Support Worker program, students will focus mainly on caring for elderly patients. Topics such as abuse and safety, cognitive impairment, mental health issues, and personal hygiene will be covered along with the importance of interpersonal skills and respecting the individuality of clients. Areas in childcare and assisting new mothers and newborns will also be taught. Robetech students have the advantage of working within our fully equipped simulated hospital room and practical nursery room. |
