That CNA still needs all the nursing pre reqs ( a&p 1/2, Biology,i think organic chem, and whatever else) just as anyone else who wants to be a nurse, before they are even looked at for entrance.I legit learned you don't have to do the 4yr nursing program any more to get an RN title. CNAs can do 2yrs and sit the nursing exam.
If they ambitious add another year for the BSN.
so it looks like there is truth to them calling themselves nurses.
