INFP, INFJ, ISTJ? Reserved and socially withdrawn? Being an introvert in the work world is definitely something that I had to navigate. I don't like too many labels, but apparently they have acronyms now for certain types of introverts now. Who knew? I am definitely not the most shy person you probably ever met, but no one would say I am gregarious. Yet, when I started my first jobs as a RD, I didn't realize how many people I needed to speak to during the day. It was constant-talking to administrators, clinical nutrition managers, social services, nurses, dietary managers, etc. I knew that it was crucial to make sure I took care of my patients/residents. So I ended up making sure I got to know everyone I needed to communicate with as quickly as possible. And felt comfortable calling facilities, dialysis clinics, etc. Now I would say that I am completely different compared to day 1 (at least in a work setting and business). I know that the people I take care of rely on me to speak up for them and I am happy to do it to make sure they are getting the best nutrition care. 💜 ------------------------------------- Hi I'm Kim My team and I 💜 providing the best nutrition care for your communities. ⏩ expert nutrition professionals (Registered Dietitians, Executive Chefs, Certified Dietary Managers/Food Service Directors, Registered Dietetic Technicians) ⏩ all 50 states ⏩ personalized services for your specific facility #healthcare #education #university #longtermcare #seniorliving #hospitals #nutrition #staffing

Regardless of what spell check thinks, I am professionally trained as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.

What is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist?! Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) are food and nutrition experts with a degree from an accredited dietetics program, completed a supervised practice requirement, passed a national exam, and continue professional development throughout their careers. Dietitians work in various settings such as, but not limited to, hospitals (inpatient and outpatient), food service, private practice, dialysis clinics, oncology, wellness programs, universities/education, fitness/sports, research, pharmaceuticals/sales, community health. With the variety of niches within dietetics there are also many specialized certifications that dietitians may have which helps add to their base knowledge. It’s important to recognize that dietitians are credentialed practitioners like other disciplines within the healthcare system and do much more than write meal plans or tell people to go on a “diet”.   Most don’t realize that Dietetics is a relatively new science. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics was started in 1917 by a group of women who were dedicated to helping the government conserve food and improve the public’s health and nutrition during World War I. Today, the profession has grown to represent >112,000 credentialed practitioners and is committed to improving health and advancing the profession of nutrition and dietetics through research, education, and advocacy.   Nutrition and health are never one size fits all, which means each consult a dietitian has is very individualized and different depending on the person and their health conditions, medications, preferences, culture, location, budget, and more! It takes a special type of person to be flexible and prepared while maneuvering our health landscape and provide quality, evidence-based, and person-centered health care for everyone. Dietitians are counselors, educators, coaches, and fill the gaps when health care misses the mark. Dietitians are not just knowledgeable in nutrition - dietitians have training in much more which is used during each consult. Dietitians are educated in pharmaceuticals, diseases, anatomy, psychology, counseling, exercise, management, Human Resources, and more. Similar to other healthcare professionals, dietitians are dedicated to helping those they serve and creating healthier lifestyles in individualized ways. Dietitians care about their work and their people. Celebrate our dietitians today!!!!❤ https://lnkd.in/eDk7NHqg #registereddietitian #nationalnutritionmonth #healthcare #healthcareheroes

Meet Gráinne, a qualified dietitian who is now a Medical Affairs Manager here at Nutricia.

One of the great things about being a dietitian is that there are so many potential career options... While working in a clinical (e.g. hospital/LTC) setting is not for everyone; having this experience does afford you some opportunities and experiences you may not be able to get elsewhere. 1.Working with a care team including MDs, RNs, PT/OT, SLP and pharmacists and caring for individuals with complicated illnesses/diseases. 2. Learning how to collaborate and communicate with other health professionals and being part of a care team. 3. Being recognized professionally in your community. 4. Being able to participate in community health events with the hospital or care facility. 5. Having an opportunity to explore food service/food service management positions. 6. Training and mentoring students and interns. https://lnkd.in/e27huATQ

Week 2! Happy Registered Dietitian Day! Are you aware of the extensive capabilities and responsibilities of Registered Dietitians (RDs)? Let's begin by highlighting their educational background: RDs hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Food and Nutrition, and nowadays, a Master's Degree is required for certification, equipping them with comprehensive knowledge in pathophysiology, the interpretation of lab data, and medication interactions. Working in long-term care facilities, as most of our RDs do, they assume a multifaceted role where that not only includes creating individualized nutrition care plans and performing comprehensive assessments of patients' nutritional status but also encompasses oversight of food safety, sanitation, menu planning, meal preparation. These critical tasks are integral to ensuring accurate Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) processes and cannot be success without their collaboration with multiple departments in the facilities. For many of us who are passionate about food, it's disheartening to witness the misinformation of nutrition spreading on the internet. Studies show Registered Dietitians rank among the top 5 trusted healthcare professionals. I encourage you to engage with RDs on social media platforms to access credible nutrition insights (tag your favorites in the comments!) Have you ever wondered about the motivations driving RDs in their profession? Polls frequently reveal a common theme: a desire to effect positive change and enhance the well-being of individuals, ultimately fostering happiness. RDs are dedicated to facilitating safe weight management, promoting hydration, mitigating inflammation, and crafting meals that are both nutritious and enjoyable. Hope is easily found with your RD! Nutrition Therapy Essentials as your Nutrition Services Partner wants to help you move forward into a healthier future that makes a difference for the Residents, Nursing staff, Cooks, Administrators and the community as a whole. We do this by encouraging relationships and open communication with our RDs to create an environment that is successful for all! If you want hope, talk with your Registered Dietitian! It's a transformative step towards providing high quality care.
