Is the word nutricionista the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels are typically more open and the syllable stress is more pronounced and rhythmic. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often much more closed or even reduced to the point of being nearly silent, creating a more "swallowed" sound.
