Many patients who need daily care have to decide if a CNA or patient care aide is what they need. A CNA cannot perform services like phlebotomy or dialysis. A PTC can do these services for their patients. The added ability to care for patients daily needs and perform higher level services like EKG reading or phlebotomy treatments is a big deal. Patient care aides must get their CNA certification along their pathway to their own PCT certification.
