Is a patient care tech better paid than a medical assistant?
To be hired as a Patient Care Technician ANYWHERE you have to be a Certified Nursing Assistant/Aide first. I am a Certified Patient Care Technician. Research the school you are looking at and make SURE they give you the Certified Nursing Assistant/Aide Certification test along with your Patient Care Technician Certification! I took the Patient Care Technician program at a Business school in Michigan and passed the Certification test administered by NCCTINC ( GO TO www.NCCTINC.com ) I could not get a job anywhere except Davita Dialysis. A Dialysis Technician/Patient Care Technician, where requirements to be hired are: a High School Diploma or GED, and a CPR Certification (where you can take a short class at your local red cross to get CPR Certified). Every Patient Care Technician job at a hospital requires Nurse Aide/Assistant Certification. CERTIFIED NURSE ASSISTANTS DO THE DIRTY WORK NURSES DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR: ASSIST WITH PERSONAL CARE, SHOWER, CLEAN UP BOWEL MOVEMENT, BLOOD, OR URINE MESSES, HELP WITH EVERYTHING A SICK, DISABLED, OR THE ELDERLY NEED HELP WITH. A CERTIFIED PATIENT CARE TECHNICIAN DOES ALL THAT PLUS CAN DO CATHETER CARE, COLOSTOMY CARE, CARE WITH ANY TUBING COMING OUT OF THE BODY THAT NURSING ASSISTANTS CANT TOUCH. IT DEPENDS ON THE STATE, SOME PCT'S (OR ALSO CALLED PATIENT CARE ASSOCIATES) CAN GIVE MEDICATION, DRAW BLOOD, PUT IN AND SET UP INTRAVENOUS INFUSIONS ( IV'S), AND OTHER MORE SERIOUS THINGS. Most Nurse Aides are trained to become Patient care Technician's, there is NO NEED TO PAY MONEY FOR A CERTIFICATION AS A PATIENT CARE TECHNICIAN UNLESS YOU RECIEVE THE NURSE ASSISTANT/AIDE CERTIFICATION WITH IT! I wish I would of researched schools first accept just going to one that sounded good.
