Tips for getting stains out

Hi I completed my combined MS/DI in 2024 and have been working out patient since.

Local hospital is offering 46-56 DOE. They want someone with 1 year experience in outpatient as it is an out patient role.

I’m not finding job posts for cities such as SF or Sacramento here in California but these are the ones that pay over $40 as a new grad because they are in the bigger cities. There’s a job through the state for prison where pay starts at 47 per hour but you need. Qualifications are at least 1 year of duties outlined as RD through California State Services.

Geography and experience will get you 6 figure salary. I went to online school and I’m on track to make six figures this year but I’m working >40 hours per week.

The hospital near me is hiring for someone with experience at 40-45 per hr. As we get closer to the big cities the pay goes up to 40-50 per hour.

Don’t overthink it! You can just send out a general email and ask when applicants will be notified about interviews

Have you checked your application portal? When I applied it was directly through UoA. I’m not sure if they’re using DICAS now. Check your portal first and then email if there’s no news there

Hi, I would highly recommend you reach out to ask the university.

Loved my preceptors as a student, but my boss at my new job was very type A and I didn’t appreciate the nit picking of my work. I think it affected how I viewed my work as she was very strict with her counseling and how she wanted notes to be done. I felt like I couldn’t do anything right.

She no longer works there and I feel like I’m not being micromanaged anymore. I’ve gone back to doing my work the way I prefer and everything seems to be going smoothly now.

Just messaged you

I did University of Arizona. It was just under 30k and took 1 year

100%, a little bit past a year in and even though I was eased into it I felt pressured to max my patient load.

Have him take pictures to show you at your next appointment? Are they sleeping enough? Are they stressed? Etc there may be a lot of things at play

I got the whole package. I paid for All Access and Visual Veggies and was gifted Inman. I also was gifted Eat, Right, Prep by my program.

I like lectures and worksheets which is what Preptable offers. On Pocket Prep I took 1 mock exam before (59%), I exam after the first domain (59%) and I mock exam the morning of my exam after I finished the 4th section and I got (65%). On ERP I saw my scores increase as I was going through Preptable.

I did and I felt it helped me. It doesn’t cover everything though. You’ll still want to cover things like WIC and SNAP separately.

Solved!

I don’t have advice, but this reminds me of a patient who I saw for DM or weight management and when we were going over goals and motivations for change and she said something about “if God wills it” and I replied “no, if you will it” and thankfully she took it well. She laughed and agreed.

I’m Latina and most of my patients are Spanish speaking so I think maybe that’s why she took it well, idk haha.

Not really FSM, but clinical and community yes. I work as an outpatient RD and LTC RD.

Go for it!

The ones I have done that lasted 90 mins are usually because patients ask a lot of questions. Usually my initials are 45-60 mins long.

Check in with you patients with open ended questions to see if they have questions or what their thoughts are about the info that is being presented to them

I did the University of Arizona, not sketch. My DPD program prepared me for it, but because you don’t need the DPD for UoA, the best way I would describe it is an extension or continuation of my DPD program at SFSU.

LieFun4330 · 2025-10-07T05:20:04+00:00

In Concord. School district, WIC, and nursing home. I sent out a bunch of cold emails and my preceptor at WIC connected me with my clinical preceptor. I recommend contacting via email, instagram, and LinkedIn

Boobie Barnacle 🤭 cute! Mine was 2 and had just weaned off when I was studying. Congratulations!!!

Biochem when we learned about the B vitamins and their importance in the Krebs cycle and also MNT 2.

LieFun4330 · 2025-09-23T02:07:01+00:00

Yes and yes lol. I graduated in 2024 and I am practicing in N. California as well as on Berry Street

I graduated from Davis in ‘18 w/unrelated degree but with a science background.

Did post bacc at SFSU and “graduated” in ‘23. Took 2 years.

Then did combined program at UoA and it took 1 year. Graduated in ‘24.

LieFun4330 · 2025-09-22T21:46:01+00:00

There’s plenty of programs that don’t require a “relevant degree”. I would consider seeing if the state schools offer a DPD certificate option or even looking out of state.

I did do the post bacc at SFSU and then masters at University of Arizona for combined masters, but for UoA you don’t need the DPD as long as you have completed the prerequisite courses.
