Nursing Culture is like that. RNS and LPNs take a cut in pay to teach and not have to deal with patients. Nursing can be full of jerks.. and you WILL run into them. But, if you work hard, watch what you say, and show up - this can be worked around somewhat.
But seriously? CNA you only need to read on an 8th grade level! As long as you can memorize lists of common sense tasks and basic medical terms, a school kid could pass this.
The classes are very short (2 weeks to 3 months), so it is not like you have to cope with a jerk teacher for very long.
There are many teachers who are not jerks, either. Take a shot if you think CNA is a decent move after research. Be aware of pay and industry work conditions in your area.
