Get access to a 9 pages (3200 words) of NICU and pediatric content and pass the CNSC exam.
If you’re preparing for the Certified Nutrition Support Clinician exam, not all study guides are created equal. Many candidates turn to big box companies for exam prep. Here’s why the Edge Clinical Nutrition CNSC Exam Study Guide is different.
The Edge Clinical Nutrition CNSC Exam Study Guide covers all 51 Content Domain & Task Statements on the exam.
Unlike other study guides, my guide is not a summary of the ASPEN Core. The CNSC exam tests application, not memorization of guidelines. My study guide maps directly to each of the exam Content Domain & Task Statements, so you don’t leave any gaps in your studying.
Comprehensive NICU and pediatric coverage.
The Edge Clinical Nutrition CNSC Exam Study Guide includes a 9-page, 3200-word NICU and pediatric section, a live Zoom study session with NICU dietitian and Certified Specialist in Pediatric Critical Care Nutrition, plus 75 pediatric-specific digital flashcards, and a 30-question pediatric practice exam.
Zoom study session with a NICU dietitian.
In my CNSC Exam Study Group, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about NICU nutrition support, see a real-life NICU PN order, go through a NICU case study step-by-step, and ask questions to an expert in real time. This is not content you’ll find in the ASPEN Core!
Focus on application, not memorization.
The CNSC exam is about thinking like a nutrition support clinician, not regurgitating guidelines. I provide real-world examples and walk you through clinical decision-making, helping you apply knowledge in the way the exam expects.
Physical study guide.
My CNSC Exam Study Guide is a physical, printed product. It is color-coded and beautifully illustrated, to provide constant visual cues that help you learn information. You can take notes, highlight, and make it your own.
Reviewed by seven Subject Matter Experts.
Every example, case study, and question is written by dietitians who actively work in nutrition support, not just content writers (and never AI). This gives you insight and information that big box study guides don’t provide. I never use AI to generate clinical content, as it is notoriously inaccurate, and often pulls from outdated information.
Regular updates and expansions.
Edge Clinical Nutrition is committed to bringing you the very best clinical content. My study guide and course are continuously updated, including pediatric flashcards and practice questions, keeping pace with changes in CNSC exam trends. Don’t get stuck using outdated content!
The TPN Calculation Cheat Sheet.
This is my most beloved resource, a 25-page document synthesizing dozens of resources from the ASPEN Adult and Pediatric Cores to the PN Calculation Workbook, journal articles, handbooks, webinars, and in-person events at the ASPEN conference. I bring you all the best information about PN calculations, including dosing, additives, labs, insulin, cysteine, and more. This resource is intended to be used as a study tool, and also as a clinical companion. Keep it handy in your desk drawer to refer to, so you don’t have to scrounge around finding resources online, or sifting through massive text books.
The Nutrition Support Skills Course.
Enteral and parenteral nutrition math is one of the most common exam pitfalls. My Nutrition Support Skills Course doesn’t just give answers, it teaches step-by-step math with 8 case studies and video answer keys. It’s like having a mentor by your side! Get access to my Tube Feeding Calculation Guide and my TPN Calculation Cheat Sheet that provides at-a-glance dosing recommendations and helps you calculate tube feeding and PN orders quickly, without relying on apps or spreadsheets (on exam day, all you’ll have is a calculator, a piece of paper, and a pencil).
Unlimited digital practice exams.
I offer 12 digital practice exams you can take as many times as you need. Repetition builds confidence and reduces exam-day anxiety.
Extensive flashcards for active recall.
With over 400 digital Quizlet flashcards, you can drill important concepts any time.
Integrated digital & video learning.
All of my digital resources (practice exams, flashcards, and video lectures) are accessible at any time, allowing you to study from anywhere. Plus, you have access to my materials until you pass the exam, so if you delay or defer your exam, no sweat. Just pick up where you left off when you’re ready to start studying again.
