What are some subspecialties?

The only one I have encountered would be a position in a cardiac rehab area where, I have been told it encompasses knowledge about diet, nutrition, exercise, ect. I met a nurse the other day who works at such a center in Southern California. She states she just loves her position. Without modern medicine all of the patients would not be alive today - this makes this population thankful & happy! Hence, her job is very satisfying.

Cardiac rehab is all I can think of as well. There are also clinical nurse educators who do that as well.

School nurse? Employee health nurse?

diabetes educator is very popular. there are advanced ceritificates also available for nurses who choose to be a diabetes counselor/educator.

I would like to have a better idea about how I can incorporate nutrition, diet, excercies along with an RN degree, any ideas? What do you do?

How about Pulmonary nursing? Lots of pulmonary patients have special diets, and have excersize plans etc.......

Cardiac Rehab or Diabetes Education are probably your best bets, but I also like the idea of Renal - very specialized diets and low activity tolerance among that population could make it interesting.

I think disease management would be great. Your job is to educate pts with chronic diseases (CHF,COPD). As a disease manager, you deal with one specific disease and the education is done over the phone (where I work).
