Hire a Dietitian by city

Say whether the job is acute, long-term care, outpatient, or a mix. Ask about the RDN, the state license, and how many residents or patients the person carries.

Say whether the job is acute, long-term care, outpatient, or a mix. Ask about the RDN, the state license, and how many residents or patients the person carries.

A nursing home that copies a national midpoint will lose its dietitian to the hospital. Use this metro's median for someone new to clinical work, and the 75th for someone who covers several buildings alone.

License and training

Most states license or certify dietitians. Employers usually want the RDN credential from the Commission on Dietetic Registration, which now requires a graduate degree for new candidates. Confirm your state's rule before you hire or start.

Questions

What is an RDN?

A registered dietitian nutritionist credentialed by the Commission on Dietetic Registration. New candidates need a graduate degree, supervised practice, and the national exam.

Is a nutritionist the same as a dietitian?

Not always. Many states protect the dietitian title, and some also regulate nutrition counseling. Read the state rule before you use either title in a posting.
