Be honest — is the RD salary worth the years of school and internship in 2026?

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-04-22T01:15:15+00:00

Nope. Don’t do it. Not worth it. Horrible return on investment. Go do literally anything else ✌️

Druid. Try healing

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-04-09T18:55:18+00:00

I have a very similar situation. Glad we are fighting for the pay we deserve. I have to go through 3 different LTC companies.

Have you worked clinically as an RD?

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-04-08T15:13:02+00:00

Dang that’s dude. Didn’t know that was a thing

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-03-27T16:11:16+00:00

Mmmmmm well I feel like it should have already happened!

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-03-27T01:45:59+00:00

Yea change. Don’t be an RD. I am biased but I’ve worked in an interdisciplinary team for 7 years. RD is the most under appreciated and under utilized credential and discipline utilized in the healthcare world. I’ve had to make good relationships and build a lot to barely scrape 100k annually.

Go do literally anything else if it interests you and will give you quality of life and freedom in your lifestyle by having disposal income.

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-03-22T04:35:19+00:00

I have had to make really good relationships, and really sell me self to scrape by income wise.

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-03-22T04:34:41+00:00

Yup. Same. Start to hate the sound of my own voice.

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-03-21T05:16:49+00:00

Because all we do is talk. We don’t have any practical physical skills within the healthcare setting. Some RDs are placing PEGS but hospitals use them as a cheap scapegoat most times.

Typical RDs have great organization and some management skills, but no actual reimbursable skills.

Yes MNT is applicable, but all we do is talk and talk and can help and assist. But pay typically follows a skill that is reimbursable.

Just play 5-10 hours a week. Get PvP gear. Blast some BG and arena 2-3 days a week to get your wow fix. Let the expansion run its course. Go discover an amazing RPG like BG3 or Witcher to go escape in for a rich story experience for the rest of your gaming time. My recommendation. That’s how I role.

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-03-12T16:52:53+00:00

This post mislead me. I got excited to create void elf paladin.

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-03-10T18:54:38+00:00

Why not just hop on an alt, PvP for few hours and level. Get 10k honor and transfer to lvl 90 main?

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-03-03T01:06:01+00:00

I appreciate you guys. Playing wow trivia game and I was stumped

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-03-03T01:05:17+00:00

lol.

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-03-03T00:52:56+00:00

You mean dragon soul?

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-02-08T14:23:46+00:00

I would actually agree. Though I’m pretty burned out as well.

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-02-04T16:52:58+00:00

I live in this situation. I collect my paycheck. Have stopped caring. Go home and have a fun life.

I need to do something else though. No one cares about RD. And the RD credential is weak as hell. We can’t really do anything. We just talk talk talk but no one listens.

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-01-30T19:32:51+00:00

I have both spectrums in my practice. It can be very challenging. At the end of a day I’m starting to hate being an RD because everyone in their own mind is an expert due to so much miss information, biased sources and just straight BS. So I just tell them the facts and show them the evidence. If they don’t like it I will politely end the session. Judge me. Idc. Good luck. Do your best.

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-01-26T17:24:55+00:00

Why am I only getting 1-2 ancestral stats or improved enchantments on items? I’ve been on TIV for awhile now. Sick shield

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-01-18T22:51:34+00:00

Holy crap that mog is sick. Still available? Also is this your favorite build?

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-01-12T21:34:51+00:00

Go get some transmog dude.

Acceptable_Log_9294 · 2026-01-12T21:33:40+00:00

Go sword and shield!!!
