What’s the difference between a CNA and PCT?
A Patient Care Technician (PCT) generally has a broader scope of practice than a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), meaning a PCT can perform more advanced medical tasks like taking EKGs, drawing blood, and assisting with certain procedures, while a CNA primarily focuses on basic patient care like bathing, dressing, and feeding, usually with less specialized training; both roles involve providing direct patient care but differ in the level of clinical skills required.
