This is a great post for what I am going to school for! Going for my bachelors to become a RD and this is amazing to read. I’ve been trying to find ways to help people with nutrition and even myself since being diagnosed with PCOS at 16 years old.
Thank you so much!

I’m a Registered Dietitian in Western Canada and I work in a community setting up north. I was very impressed by the very low number of ‘no-shows’ Prevention RD had that day. When I’m wearing my ‘outpatient’ hat, I’m lucky if 10% of my clients show up. Very frustrating.

That being said, I love the autonomy I have in my current position and that I get to be creative in planning my nutrition programming. I love being able to build relationships with individuals and my communities. My current position is so rewarding.

I’m glad to know you enjoy the work, even if the hours are early and long. I can imagine that you see ALL kinds of patients, including ones that are difficult to deal with or who are stubbornly noncompliant. Or who are a breeze to get along with and appreciate your help 🙂

I’m a dietetics student, but I do work for a private practice dietitian who also teaches at a college, works in Food Service, and counsels at other organizations. Dislikes: I HATE food service, but that’s what she does the most. Likes: Variety, feeling like I’m doing something positive 🙂

And I hear ya–I hate when blogs and other fun sites are blocked from work! I get it though … Anywho, great post and come 2 weeks from today, I’ll be joining the RD crew! FINALLY!
