To explore whether nurses in academic institutions are being adequately educated to care for patients' nutritional needs, we conducted a survey of National League for Nursing accredited baccalaureate programs in the United States and their associated graduate programs. Data indicate that nutrition content is an integral part of baccalaureate nursing programs. Less emphasis is reported on nutrition content at the graduate level. Recommendations include revision of the substantive nutritive content and increased clinical experience in nutrition in both undergraduate and graduate nursing education.
