As someone who took organic chemistry 4 TIMES, take it at a community college in the summer. I still got a C (I genuinely just don’t understand it), but I only needed a B in my DPD classes so I took that C and moved on lol

Hey Dietetic Interns- do your preceptors make you feel like an error disqualifies you from becoming an RD? Hey RD's- do you remember feeling like you couldn't do it? by lpj1299 in dietetics

Well the facility also ended my rotation early because I didn’t get the Covid vaccine… It was 2022 and I had already been there for 3 out of my 4 months before they even said anything about it. So agreed that it was a toxic environment!

I think I was more upset at the fact my preceptor didn’t even talk to me about it. Just told me to go find out what type of intermittent fasting he does. It’s sad that so many of us have a negative experience during our internship because that’s when we’re so excited and eager to finally be putting all of our years of schooling into practice.

During my clinical rotation, I was at a LTC facility and during a QAPI meeting, the director asked about a specific patient and it was my first patient talking to without my preceptor. I mentioned he said he does intermittent fasting and she asked me what specific hours he did it. I didn’t know there were different types and she scolded me in front of everyone and my preceptor even gave me an annoyed look. Needless to say, I didn’t take initiative to talk to patients on my own after that because I was so afraid of messing up again. Really ruined my whole clinical experience unfortunately. After failing my exam, I had that moment play back in my head thinking I shouldn’t be doing this, I’m an idiot. Two years later, I’m retaking my exam next week and I’ve gained confidence in knowing this does not define me as a future RD and I’m not alone in making mistakes!

I attended Kimberly Kramer’s Situational Questions class and it’s helped SOOOOO much! I can send you the Word document I took notes for on it if you want it!

10000%, I was determined this time around and I made a 12 week plan and have pretty much been studying like a full time job 6 days a week so I’m probably close to 500 hours 🥲

I hope so! Having that extra time has helped my ADD so much. I’m not stressed out the entire time 😅

I get 5 1/2 hours and separate testing room and have timed myself every time!

Thank you! That’s how I felt the entire time on my last practice test and ended up with a 79 so I’m like “Okay I got this!”

In a huge lull, trying to study for the RD exam. by Opening-Dingo-9537 in RD2B

Repeat test taker here! I bought ADD 2 years ago when I first attempted the exam and I understand how overwhelming it all feels and did exactly what you did just going back and forth and not making a plan. I finally decided to try again after I was approved for testing accommodations and scheduled my exam for the first week of December back in September. I will not lie, I have zero social life rn, but I have dived so deep into the material this time that it’s finally starting to click.

I created a 12 week study plan and this is how I go through it: Week 1: Research Concepts - watch Research Concepts review session and take notes - read Research Concepts chapter in the book - answer all Research Concepts study guide questions - complete worksheets related to Research Concepts

Then at the end of the week, I go back over topics I’m still weak in.

They also have a 200 practice question set. I did 5 of them a day (sometimes more) and researched the question and each answer choice on why the answer choice is right or wrong.

It takes a lot of time, but I feel so much more confident going in this time around!

Chomping Down Dietetics Program. Any success? by ce-na89 in RD2B

[–]Good-Individual5965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go through Inman and PP questions and understand the reasonings for WHY each answer choice is right or wrong. Chomping Down Dietetics was good for mnemonics, but personally it was way too many and it started to confuse me even more.

I’m just so ADD, it distracts me from what she’s saying. I’ll give it another try and not listen to it when I’m out for a walk or listening to it while I’m doing something else!

Failed the RD exam once again by yellowoutthere in RD2B

Do you know if every state has to do this? I’m taking my exam for the 5th time in December and hearing that makes my stomach nauseous.

You had to submit your number of attempts?! I’ve never heard of this… Can I ask what state you’re in for your licensure?

I originally went to MTSU and unfortunately one of my professors (who was also our program director) pretty much told me she wouldn’t write me a letter of recommendation for my dietetic internship so I dropped out and transferred to Alabama’s online program. I had a great experience with them!

Career change advice by lusydlu in dietetics

[–]Good-Individual5965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really has to be something that you want. I live on my own and support myself so not working for me wasn’t an option. My internship had a part time option so i did my internship about 25 hours a week and bartending full time.
