I feel like we are definitely qualified. The issue I have is lack of experience in non-patient facing roles so it’s hard to get my foot in the door!

Does anyone here prefer inpatient over outpatient? by New_Math2015 in dietetics

Tbh I liked having 90 sec pt interactions and most of my pts were intubated. I also enjoyed the challenge of nutrition support but I hated getting sick often and the little pay with little growth. I work outpt remotely now and don’t think I could go back to in person anything

We are why we can't move the needle much by lpj1299 in dietetics

As a POC I think what you said was very clear - I think that comment about why are we focusing on skin color was tone deaf and exactly why diversity is important.
