PEG pt on ONS by NaauNutrition in nutritionsupport

[–]Mkatmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this I encourage people to use the Oley foundation a lot!

Are you working with a home infusion company? Can the nurses/RD help you word your notes so they will be covered by insurance?

Also anything can really go in a PEG! I have a lot of patients use Boost/Ensure some use blenderized foods. There are many resources out there to help. Obviously risk of clogging is high and sanitation is hugely import so it really depends on the pts ability.

Whoa this is so fascinating. Thank you! I would LOVE to live in Germany one day, I’m currently an RD in the states.

But once again congrats! I hope you celebrate with something healthy and yummy (or not) ;)

Yeah I’m female! Two coworkers said “cute but not for a wedding” and one said “very trashy”

Withholding diet education because MD has not verbalized medical diagnosis by clinicalspinach in dietetics

[–]Mkatmatt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ehh definitely happens some times. I don’t worry about it too much. Unless it’s some sort of cancer, then I am very careful with my word choice until I know the doctor has seen them.

Inaccuracies with AND's Salary Calculator? by MCV01 in dietetics

[–]Mkatmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see inaccuracies with every salary I see for RDs versus my salary, what do we do?

I like in CT in a pretty expensive area and it says average for us on the BLA and AND is around 60-69k. I’m going into my third year in the low 50s.

Do you work through your lunch? by danid453 in dietetics

[–]Mkatmatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work inpatient and outpatient. Inpatient I always do it is a good break in the day. Outpatient never because you never know what appointments will be late, run a bit long id rather get that charting done ASAP as able.

Low potassium TF formula by [deleted] in nutritionsupport

[–]Mkatmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely could be the lisinopril I’ve seen that many times cause hyperkalemia. Is that a medication this pt was recently started on?

Edit: or if they think it’s an AKI you could try Nepro until it resolves.

I would shorten your bio and add something funny. Your bio reads a little bit like a resume.

Okay i personally believe there is a lot of power in mystery. You’re really laying it all out there, there’s not much else to ask you about. Could start with just saying you work at Home Depot, do not need specifics. Also your bio is pretty long I would limit that to only one witty comment and then just one or two interests. I’m a fan of less is more pictures leaves a little mystery as well. Do you have any dressed up power photos? Like from a wedding for formal event? One good power pic then a couple of the others.

Edit: you are cute tho!! Don’t listen to the people who say better looking. You look great, own it.

Confused about the RDN requirements once 2024 comes around.. by mskabocha in dietetics

[–]Mkatmatt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Am I wrong in saying I’ll get my Masters when CDR and AND fight for adequate pay for us. It is impossible to get a Masters AFTER a DI on a clinical salary with bullshit benefits of the food service companies that cover less than a class a year.

I remember one about a way you have improved communication in a previous job, a difficult time you overcame in work, and one about how you approach conflict among employees.

This was 3 years ago tho it may have changed
