I experienced something similar in my intro to chem class when I was in uni. The people who were majoring in biochem to become physicians apparently couldn't handle basic division and multiplication and complained the class was too much work, it was rather appalling.
Because I don't base my health decisions on what nurses do or do not believe, for example.
My mother took a chemistry class for her permanent teaching certificate. It was a really good chemistry class and book--the book taught 6th grader me so much chemistry that I never took another chemistry class in my entire engineering education (electrical engineer--so not so critical).
The class had a bunch of nurses finishing up their training. The nurses complained bitterly about how hard the class was and that it was the blocker for graduating--in spite of it practically avoiding all math.
Cogitate on that--20+ year old college students couldn't understand a book that a 6th grader could.
Just because someone is a nurse doesn't automatically make them an authority on health decisions.

That will likely happen after Covid. Right now, everywhere is so short of staff that nobody is going to risk offending a qualified nurse and having them walk.
