Nutritional Support Skills Course

This course is designed for the dietetic intern, entry-level RDN, or anyone working in or transitioning to the clinical world. Also a great place to launch your CNSC study prep. Wait, you say, how can this course be for everybody? I excel at explaining things in a digestible manner, and explain everything from the very basics (stomach anatomy) to advanced nutrition support topics (acid-base balance). 

This course covers all the essentials of enteral (EN) and parenteral nutrition (PN). You will learn when to choose EN over PN, how to access the GI tract or veins to provide these therapies, which formula to choose, and how to do all the nutrition support math. The course also covers what to do when things go awry, how to monitor and adjust nutrition support orders, special considerations for COVID-19 patients, and how to advocate for your patients and yourself.
