For years we had PCT's in our hospital, the only difference in the past couple of years are the PCT"S had to become certified nurses aides . Yes they do some of the duties you mention.

Congratulations on entering the nursing field. So, will you be a Certified Nurse Aid? The largest hospital in my area only hires PCT. They don't hire CNAs. They train them like a CNA, but they don't get their CNA card.
