Option 2: Our Membership

This SPE option provides the CNS candidate pre-scheduled activities to supplement their SPE hours. Our affordable 6, 9, or 12-month memberships allow CNS candidates to choose the best plan based on estimating the time it may take to complete their remaining SPE hours. By enrolling, you will have access to limited one-on-one supervisor-mentoring to provide mentoring and oversight of your membership SPE activities.  The membership option includes a variety of monthly activities designed to further your experience in meeting the BCNS competencies in assessment & interpretation, interventions, education & counseling & on-going monitoring while keeping you motivated, inspired and connected to your peers.

​

Benefits​​​​​​

  • Affordable, low-cost monthly fee that provides supervised activities, that costs less than most other SPE programs 

  • Connect with other CNS peers through participating in a group format that helps increase different learning experiences,  motivation, inspiration and more!

  • Receive monthly supervised virtual group activities that include: Client Case Grand Rounds, Peer-to-Peer Case Sharing Sessions, Live Client Intake & Interview and Partner-Client Sessions. SOAP notes and other documentation with supervisor review sessions will be required.. ​​​
  • Our membership  includes 1:1 supervisor mentoring for membership SPE activities only. The CNS candidate would be required to  enroll in the combination option if they desire separate 1:1 mentoring for their self-recruited clients. 

  • Receive free marketing & recruiting webinars and other resources to provide you the edge to begin successfully

  • Receive free and discounted client education materials to provide a new nutritionist with the essential materials

  • Receive Monthly Mentoring Support as needed to help you with your confidence and overall professional growth

  • Have access to our CNS Community Partnerships Program to provide you routine support of your personal CNS candidate partner. You can also use our Partnership Program to achieve "live" observation hours, if needed and to connect with any of our candidate to discuss a client's case.  

  • Receive a recommendation letter for CNS exam application 

  • Receive a discount on our Exam Prep Course for being a part of our SPE community

 

Some supervisor-mentoring sessions will be required since our membership activities require supervision to officially count as SPE hours, however, if a candidate would like to acquire 1:1 supervisor mentoring for their self-recruited clients, in addition to what they receive in the membership program, enrolling in the 1:1 supervisor mentoring option will be required.

Find one that works for you

In our opinion, this is the best SPE option for CNS candidates. CNS candidates can gain valuable experiences by reviewing their individual and group clients with our supervisors, while also gaining additional experiences and supplemental SPE hours through our membership. 

To enroll in this option, the candidate will be required to enroll in both options listed above. An Onboarding & Orientation Session  is required before seeing clients and/or attending review sessions with a supervisor. Supervisory fees are based on 30-minute or 1-hour sessions and can be reviewed on the scheduling page. In addition, an End of SPE Program Evaluation Session will be required upon the completion of your supervisory sessions. The BCNS requires for candidates to review every client with the supervisor. 

Option 3: Combining Our 1:1 Supervisor Mentoring Sessions with Our Membership

Option 4: Our Supervised Observation Program
This option is excellent for candidates who have not obtained observation hours when starting their supervised practice experiences. Begin your CNS candidacy with our 3-month supervised membership, which offers up to 250 hours of indirect observation. This structured program allows you to meet a significant portion of your 1000-hour requirement early in your SPE internship, ensuring you're well-prepared before moving on to direct care with clients. Take the first step toward your professional development!  See Enrollment Details Here

The candidate is required to review their completed indirect observation hours with one of our supervisors. Supervisor fees apply. Click here for more details

Our membership and combination options are designed to supplement a CNS candidate's overall SPE hour requirements. The majority of a candidate's SPE hours are acquired through "indirect" observation and "direct" individual client and client group experiences. If the candidate chooses to supplement their hours with one of our membership plans, please note that our recommended plans serve as general guidelines and do not account for the specific number and/or frequency of individual client or group encounters a candidate may experience throughout their selected membership plan. If a candidate fails to meet their SPE hours, they may choose to re-enroll in any one of our membership to
further supplement their total required hours.
