Working as a patient care associate at Ohio State | Ohio State Wexner Medical Center

Hi, my name is Jolene Perrocho. I'm a PCA at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. When the patient got admitted, it's our responsibility to put the patient in the bed, tuck them in, put a heart monitor, and we do the vitals. We kind of introduce yourself. It's kind of hard to be here in a hospital because you don't know anybody, so we try to ease it up I know I can impact and change somebody's lives and I can help them and also they help me to look up what life's reality because it's just a snap of a day or an hour or a second. You never know your life won't be here anymore and some of the family won't be here for their family, but at least I'm there to give them a helping hand and make sure that they are okay throughout their stay in the hospital.
