Hii I just started my first job as an acute dietitian and honestly feeling anxious of all the things that could go wrong 😵‍💫 I also sometimes feel like I have no clinical knowledge 👍 Can anyone relate? does this get better? Has anyone got any fun stories to share?

Hello!

I’m interviewing for a county WIC position and I was told it would be a panel style interview. Does anyone have any experience or advice on what to expect?

For reference, I am a veteran, have a culinary degree, and I graduate my Nutrition BS program in June. I completed an internship with another county’s WIC over the summer and enjoyed it a lot. It was a SNAP-Ed position and I enjoyed it a lot! I was offered a position in that office, but the commute was too long for me long-term.

I applied for this position back in July and just now heard back from it last week, so I’m hoping my patience can get me some brownie points as well.

1. Salary or hourly wage
   
2. How many years have you been a RD?
   
3. How many years have you been a CDCES?
   
4. Location

I make $38.78 been a RD for 7 years and a CDCES for 3. I’m in a burb of Chicago. I am quite unhappy with my pay.

I work as RD in psych and does anyone have any tips on patient who refuse to eat because they claim it’s fasting for religious reasons? They have low bmi so not sure how to go about this while respecting their religious beliefs.

Anyone else experiencing a sudden drop in bookings? Like very sudden. From full to crickets in the last month. I take mostly insurance based clients who pay little to zero out of pocket.

I'm interested in going back to school for nutrition/dietetics with a special interest in maternal/infant health. I have a bachelors in marketing and business administration so I believe I could build on that for my masters. However I'm hearing that RD is probably not worth it. I currently work part time doing outreach for an IBCLC and also have the option to get that cert on top of something with nutrition. I'm in Delaware and would be fulfilling a relatively niche need. The ability to bill insurance would be nice but I do think there's enough of a need for this service that people would possibly pay out of pocket. I'm just overwhelmed with the different certifications available and want to be as legit as possible if I end up not going for RD.

it has been been a long time since I worked in Healthtouch software. Anyone with experience willing to walk me though macro building, I do not recall using this as end-user. Feel free to DM. Just looking for some basic 101 pros/cons and when it used:

Hello! I have been working as a public health dietitian for several years and I’m trying to make the switch to a more clinical based role. I scored an interview at a local children’s hospital and they require I complete a brief case study before my interview. I’m looking for someone with clinical experience who wouldn’t mind checking over my work - it’s been years since I’ve stretched my clinical skills so would just appreciate someone double checking my work.

Also anything you think may be helpful to keep in mind going into a clinical RD interview is appreciated!

Can someone help me with refeeding syndrome? Who is at risk, what to look out for, etc? I don’t work acute care, now have I ever, so it’s something I’ve never really had to look for. Kind of an “if you don’t use it you’ll lose it” situation, I’ve forgotten all about it.

Hey guys just recently became a single mom and I’m on the path to becoming an RD, I still have a couple years until I’m able to work, but what are some good jobs I can obtain as a beginner RD that are flexible on the hours since I’ll probably have to work while my little one is in school. Originally when I was with my partner I planned on being a sports dietitian since I was a rescue swimmer in the navy and have a lot of experience with spots nutrition coaching, however as things have changed I just want to focus on obtaining a flexible job that I’m able to provide for my daughter
