Talk:Patient care technician

Proposed merge

 * Support- The content of these two articles is very similar, and in fact the titles are often interchangeable. "CNA" is a certification.  I suggest that the main article be Patient care technician with a section on certification where the CNA credential can be discussed.  jsfouche  &#9789;&#9790;   talk  16:30, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Object/More Information Needed- CNAs and PCTs, indeed, operate on a very similar level. However, there are specific licensing qualifications for PCTs; they generally operate at the level of an advanced CNA (ACNA) or an LPN, minus the medications. If there were to be a single article on nursing assistants or health care technicians, with each job represented, then yes- I would agree with you. But to simply merge the two- no.

 * Comment - Upon further reflection and investigation, I will create an article called "Unlicensed assistive personnel". This is the most common generic name in professional literature.  I will create sections on certifications and job requirements.  From there, I will redirect CNA and PCT to this new page.  jsfouche  &#9789;&#9790;   talk  06:55, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
