PCT vs CHT

Published

Hi, I am residing here in CA. I am a RN in the Philippines. I plan to get a Patient Care Technician (PCT) certificate under National Health career Association. While browsing the net it seems that Ca has a diff certification and it is called Certified Hemodialysis Technician (HCT). How does the 2 differ from each other? And if I take the PCT cert will it be recognize here in Ca? or do I still have to take CHT courses and take the exam? Pls advise thanks!

Also a generic PCT certification is basically a nursing assistant. You need a different class/training and certification to be a hemodialysis tech.
