I would definitely like to have this kind of resource. I am a nurse and 
in school to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. I would like to have 
some good nutrition resources to use in patient teaching. RD's are great, 
but may not always be available or accessable for patients; also, it 
would help if nurses could reinforce the dietician's instructions.Thanks.
