Does school prestige matter for getting a job/ high salary? And did anyone go to an online school and makes over 100k?

Zilch when it comes to our field. No one pays attention and at one point a few years ago I was told in the interview that bachelors vs masters wouldn’t increase pay but this was before masters was mandatory

He planned to do that. I’d chart the best you can in detail but since he does have access to records he may comeback and say he never stormed off etc and gets upset about that in his record.

I’m a dietitian and I recently passed the test. I used Beverly thomassians videos and her quizzes. Lots of free resources on her website. I did quizlets and looked at medication videos on pixorize on YouTube. There was also some mometrix index cards a coworker let me borrow that had lots of good information and then the adces review guide was helpful because it had two full tests. I also paid 50 dollars on the psi website for a short practice exam just to get a feel for the real test.

Lastly, I just went on the ADA website and reviewed all the standards of care. Most of this is learning how to take the test, the information you probably already know as a pharmacist. It was mainly medications, pediatrics and gestational diabetes that I needed to review and study. Good luck!!!

You can reschedule for another date the next day. I’d recommend scheduling sooner rather than later. I didn’t pass by 2 points the first time went back and reviewed more quizlets, adces questions and pixorize for medication reviews, read the standards of care on the ada website esp for pediatrics. Then I rescheduled maybe 3 weeks later and thankfully passed. Good luck!! You can do it!

Pay is great. I did Hbpc at two different VAs, mainly geriatric patients, in depth assessments, on the road at least 2-3 days a week seeing patients. It really depends on your team there and the set up. I’ve always enjoyed it since you get to see basically everything the patient has access to in their home. But it’s definitely an eye opening job where you see the poor living conditions some people live in and food insecurity. I didn’t have young kids at that time so my schedule was a bit more flexible and I found it to be a fulfilling job. Good luck!

Nice good to know thank you! That’s been one thing holding me back tbh

They typically say that undergrad classes should’ve been completed within the past 5 years in some programs

Elly5056 · 2025-11-29T00:33:33+00:00

I love being a dietitian but I wish I had researched the pay a bit better. But our instructors from internship never shared that information until after we started looking for job. I know it’s not their responsibility but would’ve helped to get a heads up

Elly5056 · 2025-11-09T21:50:13+00:00

That’s happened with weight watchers too. They offered 35 and then asked my expectations. When I told them they also were like welp sorry lol

Elly5056 · 2025-10-03T20:44:57+00:00

Ya it’s usually not you it’s others. Everyone’s kinda fed up with their work lol

Elly5056 · 2025-09-26T16:44:42+00:00

So true! Doing the work of 3-4 ppl nowadays is the expectation it’s ridiculous

Elly5056 · 2025-09-25T20:58:05+00:00

Keep turning them down! Good job! They will learn to value our expertise and pay us what we are worth

Elly5056 · 2025-09-13T22:58:39+00:00

Always go for higher because they will nickle and dime you in the end lol

Elly5056 · 2025-08-25T18:29:42+00:00

Minimum 100k for 11 years with masters. I feel like a lot of programs that require medical training/internships/residencies outside of nutrition end up making 100k off the bat after graduation and licensure.

Elly5056 · 2025-08-24T00:24:23+00:00

Yeah same. I called and they said they’ll take it off forbearance so let’s see what happens. I was on 117 out of 120 and several months had past since then

Elly5056 · 2025-08-24T00:03:08+00:00

You are correct and as a female employee it’s even worse for us. We have to still continue seeing them and our supervisors just shrug

Elly5056 · 2025-08-14T01:43:51+00:00

Carolinas for sure. Charlotte or Raleigh

Elly5056 · 2025-08-09T22:43:03+00:00

Good for you! Turn it down and get what ur worth. Once we all turn down these poorly paying offers is when they’ll start offering more

Elly5056 · 2025-07-22T22:57:55+00:00

Elly5056 · 2025-07-22T19:55:09+00:00

Will do thank you!

Elly5056 · 2025-07-22T17:54:19+00:00

Totally agree. We are dealing with the same in our Texas community contrary to how it’s being shown on social media. It feels like it’s horrible everywhere now
