Difference between RN and CNA healthcare provider with AHA?

[KaTStudentNurse]

This is a very ignorant question but my nursing program requires us to get a CPR card from the American Heart Association. On the website it list the courses instructed by a CNA or RN.

I have one class time that I most prefer on a Monday early in the morning but it is taught by a CNA though it's titled differently than the ones instructed by the RN's. Is there a supposed difference that I should consider or are all the classes taught the same?

Sorry for the stupid question. I'm not trying to bash either professions as I just want a legit answer to this.

Thank you.

You need "BLS for the Healthcare Provider". It doesn't matter who teaches it. It could be a layman as long as it's the correct course. There is a difference between the one you need and the one taught to the community.
