In my school you need to have your CNA license before starting school for PCT. PCT involves EKG, Phlebotomy, Colostomy care, Wound care, Catherization ect
In addition to that you also do phlebotomy work, wound care, EKG's, insert, clean, and remove catheters,perform ostomy care, urine and stool collection as well as check blood sugars.
Hi I will be graduating with my PCT certificate in December I would like to work in the hospital but I would like to know when working in the hospital which floor is the best floor? any suggestions?
Hi I live in Savannah Ga and here once we get our CNA license then we need to go through a program to get our PCT diploma at a technical college. We do have clinicals in fact I start mine in November our instructor has also informed us that it is common for the hospitals to offer the PCT students Permanent positions once we complete the program and graduate. On the other hand a couple years ago I worked at the hospital as a CNA and the hospital was going to send me back to school to get my PCT diploma unfortunately I had to quit that job because of complications with my pregnancy. Like many of you I am planning on working as a PCT while working towards my RN
