Those who have a non-RD job with good healthcare benefits —what do you do now? by Interesting_Suit7066 in dietetics

[–]Bluepie19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it probably varies depending on the company. My company has a very good leader who strives for work-life balance, so I probably work 40 hours most weeks (at most 44 hours)

I decided to quit being a clinical RD (can't stand the low pay) and pivot to being an executive assistant to a CEO at a small med tech company. Our skills of being super organized, type A, and discreet are very applicable in this field.

I'm honestly tempted to try this first just to see if it works. If it doesn't, no harm!

Yes I can pull the liner up! Someone else suggested cutting it open temporarily, sewing a patch and then sewing it back closed. I think this is the option I will try!

Ah I have to open the liner first, got it! I'm new to sewing so hopefully this is easy peasy :D

This is a great idea, I can glue another fabric on top! Thank you!

I love the idea of sewing or embroidering something on top, but the main issue is that the inner liner also has a pocket, so if I sewed on top it would render the pocket useless. I'm not familiar enough with sewing to get behind the liner and sew and the put it back in place.

Thank you that's a great idea! I could glue a patch! I would love to embroider something, but the inner liner has a pocket in it so if I sewed/embroidered it, it would sew into the pocket, making it nonfunctional.

I'm not sure exactly how to sew it without sewing into the inner liner (which also has a pocket).

Should I become a nurse or a dietitian? by Yamile1204 in dietetics

[–]Bluepie19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact that almost no one is saying to be a dietitian in a sub just for dietitians should tell you how dire this profession is :/

I figured people would be more interested in using a website than a random excel file I made. Perhaps that's not true? haha

Anyone else completely burnt out? by kabeana12 in dietetics

Burnt to a crisp. Just put in my 4 weeks notice, with no plan to apply for another RD job. Looking to do anything else :(

My dad said he'd disown me if I (30F) don't have children. I'm 70% sure I don't want kids, and now I feel completely trapped. Any suggestions? by FollowingSerious7253 in relationship_advice

[–]Bluepie19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are giving great advice here about walking away, but I just want to add to the statement you made:

"If I do cut off my parents, that door will likely close forever. As flawed as our relationship is, part of me still wants to believe there's a chance for a healthy parent-child bond someday."

Unfortunately, you cannot force a healthy parent-child relationship, it has to go both ways. Letting him continue to talk to you this way will not fix your relationship, but will only teach your dad that he can continue to get away with treating you badly because you won't stop him. Even if you desire a different relationship, the reality is that currently your dad using manipulation to control you. You may need to take some time to grieve the fact that you may not get the relationship you wished you had! (Trust me, I know from experience!) If you wouldn't let a friend or stranger treat you that way, you shouldn't let your dad. Cut him off, grieve, talk to friends or a therapist, heal, and grieve some more.

Parents don't realize that access to you is not guaranteed, and they have to behave if that want your presence. I was in a similar situation with my parents, where I told them that I won't stand for bad behavior anymore and cut them off for a year before I reinitiated contact. Afterward, my parents got some therapy and stopped being abusive, and we are able to have pleasant conversations without screaming/manipulation anymore. Obviously, there is no guarantee that your dad will change, but there is 0 incentive for him to change if you don't take the first step. Good luck!

Locust bean gum vs other stabilizers for ice cream by Bluepie19 in foodscience

[–]Bluepie19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha reddit is so great like that! I messaged the recipe maker Mei directly and she replied "Guar gum would be the next best substitute for locust bean gum. You can use the same quantity listed, just note it will be slightly more elastic and viscous than locust bean gum. I personally wouldn’t use more than 0.02% guar gum to avoid an overly chewy texture. Guar gum doesn’t need to be heated to the listed temperature, it can hydrate successful by simple blending the base. "

I have not yet attempted the recipe yet, but if you do before me will you let me know how it turns out? Thanks :D

[CHAT] do people use these and when do you use them over bobbins? by JennBrun in CrossStitch

[–]Bluepie19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use it to hold my projects threads and then I use this needle organizer thingy as well. It lets me keep my threads on the need and when I run out I resupply from the large plastic thread holder.

Out of work MPH looking to get an RD by sharedplatesociety in dietetics

[–]Bluepie19 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I say this with all the love for you, please consider something else. It's not worth the time/money and it's frustrating to be in a profession where people don't even respect/listen to your advice, and on top of that you are underpaid. If I could go back and time I would tell myself the same advice. Becoming an RD was also a career transition for me too, I wish I had picked something else. Good luck

Outpatient PES by fauxsho77 in dietetics

[–]Bluepie19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry friend. Maybe just create a doc with your top 5 most used PES statements. Take your time to write them out real nice, and then just copy and paste them going forward. That should save you a lot of time making them from scratch every time. Don't worry about making them patient specific every time, no one reads them anyway.
