Weight Management Nursing CEU Courses

Weight management certification courses are designed to benefit all nurses, but also specifically those working with patient populations that deal with obesity. These courses will help nurses to expand their practical knowledge on weight management and to deliver the best care while upholding patient dignity:

• Registered Nurses
• Nurse Practitioners
• LPNs/LVNs
• Advanced Practice Nurses

Nurses working in a weight management environment encounter a special set of patient needs, from practical knowledge on obesity and nutrition to maintaining patient boundaries while delivering care with empathy and compassion. Nursing courses in weight management primarily cover topics centered on obesity, but these can also vary in focus:

• The obesity epidemic in America
• Mental health and obesity
• Behavioral therapy for obesity
• Basic nutrition
• Exercise guidelines for obese patients
