Nutrition certification/education for nurses

Elfer- I've been researching this extensively recently. There are a lot of different options depending on what kind of nutrition education you are looking for. If you want a clinically focused certification, there is the prestigious certified clinical nutritionist (CCN) certification. There are some requirements as far as what type of degree you have to have and there are required courses if you don't meet the course requirements. If you have to go through all of the courses, it will cost you over $4000. However, my understanding is that it is a well-respected credential within the health care community- open to doctors, nurses, dietitians, and pharmacists. If you want more of a holistic nutrition education, the Nutritional Therapy Association and Bauman College offer some certification programs that are well-respected within the HOLISTIC community (not necessarily within health care in general). If you learn of any others, please let me know. Also, I would love to network with you about how you plan to use your nutrition education. I will PM you.
