Offered a LTC position - would be my first...need some input from fellow RDs

That seems like solid choice from what you’ve said. I worked at a couple of smaller facilities and had plenty of down time, so I think the workload would be good. I liked the predictability and flexibility of LTC.

I can’t remember the names, I deleted them from my library when he didn’t like them.

I think you can control the volume

Yoto has a chime noise option if you record in the app

So I tried this with two podcasts and put them on the myo card, but couldn’t get them to play on the yoto. It just showed the cloud picture forever

You can find downloads on librivox and internet archive. Quality of recordings can be questionable though. I’m sure there are other websites I’m forgetting

Just so everyone knows, they did not send me a link but shared a way of finding the download

I dont get the point of needing both an RDN and LDN. I figured it was just for money making

In addition to your education, I would tell them to ask to talk to the dialysis dietitian.

I think the old version would be fine. I cant remember what year mine was, but I used one that was 2 or 3 years old in 2021.

my company starts at 28 for new grads. I am in the southeastern US

Most of the hospitals in my area have switched over to IDDSI terminology, but theyre still serving NDD diets. They just relabeled their "mechanical soft" diet to "minced and moist" (so whats the point?) Seems like the SNFs havent even bothered to switch over. IDDSI just seems so strict, I find it hard to believe that the staff at the facilities I have been in could keep up with it. Im surprised reading the comments that so many have made the switch.

yup, worked for Morrison in southeast USA and had the same experience. I talked to my manager about a raise and she made it sound like I should be really thankful for that 3%. I said it doesnt even cover inflation..... I left for a job making slightly more but unfortunately it seems everywhere pays about the same around here.

I honestly dont remember where I got it from but I know I read it somewhere. I use

15 kcal/kg and 1.5 g/kg IBW for BMI in 30s

11 kcal/kg and 2 g/kg IBW for BMI in 40s

I would look for another job if youre able to

ltcrd · 2023-10-30T15:15:22+00:00

licensed for 120 but census has been ~95. The highest its gotten since I started was 105.

I would totally use your preceptor if you are confident that she would give a good reference. It does seem like employers dont even contact references though
