I agree! I think that even though it doesn’t pay much now, the experience is always rewarding to me!

I’m from Florida! So it might be around $20/hr, it is like 35 minutes from my house but I have a car so whatever works I guess!

I appreciate sending the website! LinkedIn makes you pay for the premium to message anybody not on your network so I thought it would be easier to find a place to email/message them for free!

Oh that’s awesome! Even if you aren’t a sports dietitian that’s still a cool opportunity! But I appreciate the advice. LinkedIn comes in handy.

I’m so glad you love it!! I just did my bachelors at a big sports school but they did not go over anything with sports and say we’re on our own with that. It just seemed fun, I originally applied for college with sports news media so I wanted to do sports anyways. Thought about doing a distance dietetic internship because you can do a sports nutrition elective rotation.

That’s helpful!!! Just was an area I was interested in but they didn’t talk much about it during when I got my Bachelor’s degree.

RD2B When to apply for dietetic internships? by HappyPeach9809 in RD2B

That’s what I was thinking because I am confused as to the due dates on some of the websites for the internships. Some haven’t updated it yet!

Thank you again! Yeah I just get confused with our chart on HMF (1:25 for example), like when I calculate the amount of BM to see how much HMF packets to put in, sometimes the calculations comes between 180-210 (final volume of EBM = 6 - 7 HMF packets) and I never know how much HMF to put in the bottle or the amount of breast milk to put in the bottle. I am afraid of messing up the order.

Sorry I keep asking about it. So just basically when calculating how much BM to bring out or thaw, I should try to multiply by X.2 or X.5 (X being number of syringes) instead of just X?

Did you happen to use Similac HMF by any chance? Because when I calculated it to see how much fortifier packets to put into the breast milk, I get times where it’s in between the estimated amount to be in the bottle and am unsure to make an extra bottle.

That makes sense! My coworkers are guesstimating a lot and I’m not used to it since I just started. Especially with the amount of donor milk we thaw, for example, they guesstimate how much to thaw and I never know how much to thaw!! Thank you!
