CNA start pay is minimum wage. A Nurse assistant is not the same as a medical assistant there is about a 4 dollar difference and alot more responsibilities and training.
Im assuming your question is can you skip the schooling and go straight for the test and the answer is no. You must go to a school that is accredited and pass to be able to sit for the test. If you are going for LPN then you will need to do your CNA 1st anyways and possibly have it covered through financial aid or your student loans

Yes you can sit for A CNA exam without the class. If you are in a LPN or rn program you need to have taken your fundamentals course and have passed one clinical rotation
