Regions employs approximately 250 PCAs, NAs and ERTs who are valuable members of our nursing team.

They assist with stocking patient rooms and units and with patient transfers and transports within departments. Other responsibilities may include performing activities of daily living, assisting patients with ambulating, providing patient care treatments such as discontinuing IVs and restraint monitoring, and collecting patient data: weights, vital signs, intake and output, lab specimens and blood glucose-finger sticks.
