CDE 1000 hrs

I'm still a ways out before I can even consider starting my 1000 hrs as I'm still in school. I've been trying to do research with regards to what will qualify for my 1000 hrs. I found a list of what won't qualify but where does one beginning looking for a job that will include hours that qualify?

Does being a nurse at a diabetic camp qualify? I know working as a pumping or CGM educator or sales rep doesn't.

they want you to work 6 months in the field in which you will be certified. So if you want to be a certified diabetic educator you have to work at least 6 months as a diabetic educator.

Thanks for the comment but I was wondering where one would go about looking for such a job. Do you just look for diabetic educator?

I am considering a job as diabetes educator, and one of the other nurses told me that these hours can be in your regular nursing practice. In other words, since I have been a nurse for 8 years, the hours I have spent educating my med/surg patients would apply toward this.

Sorry, I did not catch your drift. I became a diabetic educator by working in the education dept of a hospital. We employ a registered dietician who is also a CDE. Some nursing clinics and MD offices hire them. Drug co. hire them. Basically I guess you need look at the CDE application for qualifications. As for a job, talk to HR in various facilities, or call a few CDE's in your area to test the market. I had to create my own market by creating a curriculum for in/out-pt education.
