Why Nutrition for Nurses?

Nurses and nurse practitioners are experts at patient empowerment and education, but a lack in fundamental knowledge in nutrition must be addressed. Nutrition plays a major role in optimizing wellness and risk for developing acute and chronic illness.

Our dedicated Nutrition for Nurses course can bridge these knowledge gaps, empower nurses to provide evidence-based nutrition care and equip them with the skills to overcome the barriers they face in various healthcare settings. By addressing these deficiencies, this course can contribute to more effective patient care, improved health outcomes, and the overall goal of promoting holistic healthcare.

It can empower nurses to become experts in nutrition, enabling them to play a central role in addressing the growing public health challenges related to nutrition and obesity.
