RD stands for Registered Dietitian.  An RD completes a bachelors or masters degree nutrition program followed by an internship in an approved clinical or academic setting.  The internship duration is usually six months to a year.  This coursework concludes with a national board exam to receive the RD credential.   An RD takes continuing education courses every year thereafter (as physicians do) to maintain their credential. Some registered dietitians choose to call themselves "nutritionists" as many more consumers understand what this term means.  In most states, there are no legal standards or qualifications required to use the title "nutritionist".  If you are seeking professional help for weight loss or for a clinical reason, please be sure to inquire about a nutritionist's education and credentials.  They may not have an RD.
