What dietitians miss in Nevada
- The 10-day temporary license is unusual: it covers a short visit to treat patients, not a pending application.
- Statute caps every Nevada dietitian fee at $250, and the current license fee is $100.
- Applicants send two fingerprint cards to the Nevada criminal history repository for an FBI check.
Does Nevada license dietitians?
Nevada bars anyone without a license from practicing dietetics or using the LD or licensed dietitian titles. The application must show that the applicant is a registered dietitian in good standing with CDR, so the RD is the entry point. A 2025 law moved administration to the Nevada Health Authority.
- License
- Licensed Dietitian (LD)
- Practice is restricted to credential holders
Citation: NRS 640E; NAC 640E
Is Nevada in the Dietitian Compact?
Nevada is not a Dietitian Compact member.
- Not a compact member
Can a dietitian licensed elsewhere get a Nevada credential by endorsement?
A CDR-registered applicant holding an unrestricted dietitian license in another state, territory or DC may be licensed by endorsement after attesting, under penalty of perjury, to the general endorsement requirements.
- Endorsement or registration-based route
- Current CDR registration required
Citation: NAC 640E.055; NRS 622.530
Does Nevada have a jurisprudence exam?
Licensure rests on CDR registration. No state jurisprudence exam was confirmed.
Does Nevada require fingerprints?
- Fingerprint background check
Telehealth dietitians and Nevada
No telehealth registration exists. A dietitian licensed in a state with substantially equal requirements can get a temporary license, limited to medical nutrition therapy and valid for a 10-day period.
Does Nevada offer a provisional permit for new graduates?
A provisional license, valid one year and renewable once for up to six months, lets an exam-eligible graduate practice under a licensed dietitian's supervision. Separately, an exam-eligible person may practice under direct supervision for up to one year without a license.
- Provisional permit available
Does Nevada credential non-RD nutritionists?
Chapter 640E licenses dietitians only. Nevada has no separate nutritionist license.
- No separate nutritionist credential
How often does a Nevada dietitian credential renew?
A license expires two years after issuance. Renewal requires proof that the licensee's credentials are in good standing and any continuing education the rules require. The license and renewal fees are each $100.
- Renews every 2 years
