Nutrition courses in nursing school

[Squirrel]

Hello students! I have been a nurse for awhile now, and am working on a Master's Degree in nutrition and will become a dietitian next year. I am trying to get a feel for how nutrition is taught in nursing schools these days. I graduated from an ADN program in 1987 and I did not have a specific course in nutrition, but nutrition concepts were given in my nursing courses. The specific questions I have are:

1. Do you have a specific course in nutrition that is required, and if so how many credits and what is the title?

2. If you do or do not, are you in an ADN, diploma, or BSN program?

3. Is your course taught through the school of nursing and taught by a nurse, or is it through a nutrition department and taught by a dietitian?

4. In your nutrition course, is medical nutrition therapy and/or nutrition support discussed?

Thank you all very much, and good luck with school!

Hey Lausana - I think I love you too...in a Partridge Family kind of way :-)

I'm sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream

like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking

at my brain (and squeaking heart)

Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head and spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread

I think I love you (I think I love you)

This morning I woke up with this feeling

I didn't know how to deal with

and so I just decided to myself I'd hide it to myself

and never talk about it and didn't I go and shout it

when you walked into the room

I think I love you (I think I love you)

I think I love you so what am I so afraid of?

I'm afraid that I'm not sure of

a love there is no cure for.

I think I love you - isn't that what life is made of?

Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way

I don't know what I'm up against

I don't know what it's all about

I've got so much to think about

Hey....

CHORUS

Believe me, you really don't have to worry

I only wanna make you happy and if you say hey go away I will

But I think better still I'd better stay around and love you

Do you think I have a case? Let me ask you to your face

Do you think you love me?

I think I love you, I think I love you, I think I love you
