Licensing Bonus Opportunities

Edited

We're excited to share that all Nourish RDs are now eligible for licensing bonuses in specific eligible states! This expanded opportunity helps you increase your patient reach while earning significant financial rewards.

Why This Matters

Patient demand is growing rapidly in specific states, and we need your help to serve more people. By obtaining licenses in these high-need areas, you'll directly impact patient access to quality nutrition care while benefiting from generous bonus opportunities.


Bonus Limits

  • Red State Licenses: Up to 3 bonuses in a 12-month period. The 3-license limit applies whether you complete the applications yourself or Nourish completes them for you—both count toward the same cap.

  • High-Demand States: WA and PA bonuses are separate from the 3 red-state license cap

ℹ️ 12-Month Period: The 3-license limit for red state bonuses will reset every 12 months.

Example: You could earn bonuses for 3 red state licenses + WA + PA = 5 total bonuses in a 12-month period
