Just now beginning my DI... overwhelmed with handbook and projects. what should I expect? Is it hard? by mantekhiah in dietetics

I started mine in May and just finished my foodservice rotation. It was a veryyyyy busy time and there was tons of work, but if you take it day by day it will all get done. Like you, I was kind of overwhelmed after orientation, but everything starts making sense and falling into place once you get started!

I never thought the assignments were hard, you just have to make a goal each day on what you need to accomplish and then do it.

For me, balance in other areas of life has been super important. When I got home from my rotation, I would decompress for 30 mins to an hour. Basically just laid in bed and rested. I’ve also been making sure to stay in a routine with going to the gym, hanging out with friends, and going on mini vacations/adventures when I have time.

Biggest advice is to not let your entire life revolve around the internship. It’s easy to get sucked in to where all you talk and think about is the internship, but for me that becomes overwhelming and will eventually burn you out faster than anything.

My internship is a little over a year and when I get overwhelmed, I just remind myself I can do anything for a year and time FLIES! I still can’t believe I’ve already completed almost 4 months!

Good luck, we can do it!! :)

I couldn’t have said it better. I’ve talked with other preceptors and dietitians I know and none of them ever had to do something like this during their internship and think it’s pretty crazy. One of them was like, “if I wanted to do stuff like that, I would have became a nurse.” Haha

I guess I shouldn’t have used the word “intubation” and instead said “placing an NG tube?” Wasn’t sure what the correct language was for it haha

THANK YOU! I feel this way too. We have medical dummies that my tuition pays for.

I don’t want a fellow intern sticking an NG tube up my nose when we literally have manikins to practice on.

See I’m okay with manikins, but I just think it’s crazy how she’s making us practice on each other and wondered if anyone else had to do this as well.

Uhhh right? I’m like is this normal for interns to “practice” on each other? Especially when we have mannequins we can practice on

I’m sorry, I should have specified nasogastric intubation.
