How hard this is to fill
This is the same score as the free check.
For one manager
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.
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.
