It doesn't matter where you live in the US, except NY, Ces-Cgfns request for academic records application is the same for each state.
I did study nutrition as part of other class work(I already mentioned), not as an individual course as they study here.
At that time my school was the only nursing school from my city(is the capital-city of my country) and was a state school, so was and is accreditated.

Hmm. Just checked the new CES application form and I do see they have nutrition listed.. very odd! Looks like they added a bunch of subjects on the new form that need theory and clinical - guess it's even harder for foreign nurses now - I certainly didn't do clinical hours in "nutrition"! Rather than five areas required, it's now 12! Sorry OP

Now we can see the reality as it is...lol...thank you ghillbert. Probably they did this to make it harder, or God knows why. My big frustration is that I have 7 years of nursing, did 2 nursing schools and because this nutrition and mental health hours missing( there was the school's secretary mistake who didn't know how to separate Psychiatric form Neuro;I had 72 h total and she separated 30 Psych and 42 nuro without any criteria) course I can't take Nclex now.
Btw, I'm US citizen, Florida resident since 2005.
Thank you guys for your answers. I'm still praying to don't have to deal with CGFNS again.
