In short, no. Nurses may be trained on how to give tube feedings, etc. but there isn't a nursing specialization. If you are interested in nutrition, consider becoming a dietetic technician, or better yet, a Registered Dietitian. If you are a nurse, or want to be a nurse, consider working with geriatric patients or those with eating disorders. Keep in mind though that the Registered Dietitians are the ones qualified on the medical staff that counsel and give nutrition advice to patients, not nurses.
