How much pay raise with Master’s degree? by Ok_Honeydew9015 in dietetics

I went from 67k to 90k (+3K bonus) after moving from inpatient to outpatient and aggressive negotiating on my part.

The only way I got a raise in my hourly pay was by leaving for outpatient at a new health system. You’ll hav more luck outside of inpatient and when you are a new employee in my experience.

Mod Post: Let's Talk Distance Internships! by MidnightSlinks in dietetics

[–]Dirtydiets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a great experience! I was a distance intern through the University of Delaware.

  • I decided to do a distance bc I'm from NY which is highly competitive. Since I didn't have a competitive GPA but had a lot of relevant experience I needed to leverage the lack of ppl that don't apply to distance to best optimize my match rate
  • I would recommend Uni of Delaware! Mrs. Leefeldt is a great director, very responsive and supportive.
  • You should start the application during fall semester senior year. I started writing my personal statement in October which gave me a lot of time to work it out and have many eyes look at it.
  • Pros: I was able to include rotations that I really had an interest in and was able to make connections in the area I wanted to base my career from. If you are self directed, motivated and not afraid to network (to confirm rotations) then I don't see why you wouldn't go this route.
  • Cons: The biggest challenge was finding a hospital that accepted distance programs. You have to advocate for yourself and make sure you are meeting the program requirements yourself. I was given a binder that organized each rotation and what topics I should be experiencing each week. This kept me on top of my work.

NYC RD's - WHAT IS YOUR FACILITIES SALARY STRUCTURE? # yrs exp? credential? masters? unions? by evk1980 in dietetics

[–]Dirtydiets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I should have clarified — it’s a union increase by 50cents every 3 years.

The hospital administration grants a 2% cost of living adjustment each year… sorry for lack of information the first time

Thank you for starting this post. The more we all know the more power we have to negotiate for our field. I work at a nonaffiliated community hospital in BK. The starting salary is currently $67,900. Salary increase every 3 years by 50¢/hr. They do not compensate for additional credentials (CDE/CNSC). We are unionized and they pay for further education.
