What is the difference between PCT and CNA?

Help!

I'd never heard of a Nurse Tech until recently. How do their responsibilities compare to a CNA? or PCA?

Thanks for the insights--

After talking with a 30+ year experienced RN today, I wonder if working as a PCT is worth it. She says PCTs are often overworked and the experience they gain in clinicals is adequate. However, if the student nurse PCTs are funneled through as potential hires for the hospital as RNs, I would think their experience would be closely attended to.
