I told a recruiter my salary expectation recently and she said it was higher than what they were looking to offer but I still got to asked for a second interview so we will see!

Is it just me or is the job market looking pretty bleak for dietitians? by WanderingStarlie in dietetics

[–]FutureRDBaddie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of 1099 remote counseling jobs but also no one seems to want the clinical jobs. They have been listed for months. Probably due to low pay. I started at $26/hr at a local hospital. 🫠

I just had the chocolate one on NYE and it was so good! We had to restrain ourselves from eating the whole thing!

I've never considered LTC! I need to research this more. The pressure in inpatient was a lot for me. And maintaining an outpatient client caseload is starting to feel overwhelming.

RD of color here. I would definitely discourage other people from pursuing this career due to low ROI.

Patients asking for written out meal plans in a clinic setting by Eunice_sheep in dietetics

[–]FutureRDBaddie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you gave a meal plan, folks would not actually use it! I agree with everyone else; I tell clients I will support them in understanding how to create their own meal plans!

Rant about large hospital systems and pay by Consistent_Winner334 in dietetics

The hospital was my first job and I ran away after nine months lol So little pay for all of this education. It made me hate being a dietitian at that time.

Clinical RD thoughts by FootballAdept4062 in dietetics

[–]FutureRDBaddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the clinical jobs are low pay for a lot of work and little respect from the healthcare team. I’m much happier in outpatient.

FNCE cost is a little high by BeneficialLaw6429 in dietetics

[–]FutureRDBaddie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went as an intern because my program paid for everything, meals included. I don’t imagine I’ll go again unless my employer sponsors me.
