Do people need a PCT (patient care tech) or CNA (certified nurse aide) to be hired at a hospital.?

I know a PCT can cost 7,000- or more to get.

I have been told for 900.00 I can get certified as a CNA and it is just as good. Is it true that a PCT is just a “glorified nurse aide” and a waste of time and money? I want to work in the hispital, and someone told me the hospital will train you if you are a certified nurse aide.

Thanks for your time

both do abt the same job. choose whichever is cheaper. nursing aide has slightly more stuffs. in some countries, they hv to draw blood, give injections. so its a better skilled job that can also offer u advanced study opportunities – nursing degree. so pl choose whichever is cheaper and goodluck

Why not go to nursing school? You’ll tire quickly of giving baths and wiping butts.
