That’s my dream job, here dietitians only work in adults and doctors barely listen to us. The pediatrician does everything and take all the decisions in pediatric services :(
Wow it's hard to believe that dietitians only work in adults because there's so much more that we can do with kids and it's so much more important since it directly effects growth!
Thank you for your videos. You're the only pediatric dietitian that I've come across on TH-cam and I am currently in school to become one. I am hopeful to work in the pediatric field in the future!
You're welcome! Good luck on your journey to becoming a dietitian!!!
Love your videos. My country (Vietnam) doesn't really have a title "Dietitian", everyone can call themselves a "nutritition specialist", even a nurse just go through a 6-months nutrition course to do things that a dietitian do (except order writing for therapeutic diet, only physician that went through the same 6-months nutrition course can do that). I am studying bachelor of nutrition and dietetics, but i see that there's been no certification for my career yet (only for physician). I hope dietetics in my country will develop like yours :3
Thank you! It's always interesting to hear about dietitians/nutritionists in other countries, thanks for sharing!
Amin... I am from Indonesia. We have a certification as a dietitian as a physician. But I hope there will be a dietitian specialist in the future.
From a nutrition major, I appreciate this video!! Also, if you’re liking that book I would very highly recommend this woven kingdom and an ember in the ashes 💜
I'm so happy you liked the video and thank you for the book recs! I'll definitely be adding them to my tbr list 😊
Aw i loved this video ❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ireanybeany i really did and i can’t wait to see more videos you have about your day ireany ❤️
i loved this video!!
Thanks girlie!!! ❤️
Thank you for your video. I have been pursuing nutrition for a year now. My goal is to be a clinical dietitian, and that's what I am on track for, but I recently discovered pediatric clinical dietitians. What differs education wise from just a typical RDN vs a pediatric RDN? Can I get a Master's in Nutrition Science with a dietetics concentration and still going into peds or would I need to alter my major?
Hi! There's no difference in education, just a different specialty. Just like how education requirements to be a RD in food service, private practice, or renal clinical dietitian is the same (or like how all doctors go to medical school with the same curriculum but specialize in a specific field later on). If you're wanting to pursue peds, my recommendation would be to try and get some experience in peds- whether that's during your internship or working for WIC. Getting a job working in peds can be difficult without prior experience. Good luck!
this is my goal in life. im 21 and i hope to start uni again next year. i know it will be a long journey as RD's need a masters now to qualify for internship but this is my dream and i want to achieve it ❤
Good luck!!!
i started at 24 and ended at 29 ( I graduate master's in may and my internship done in june) and it really goes by fast! I was freakout out I would be almost 30 by the time is as done but it has been amazing! learned SO much in my internship.
I'm interested in this field. When you're studying and training before your first role as a dietitian, do you have any choice as to which areas you can gain experience in? Or is it just needing to accept whichever areas you're assigned to while training? 😊
It depends on your internship. You may have the opportunity to choose some of your internship rotations but it may not always work out (depending on the program there may not be preceptors available in certain areas you are interested in). There are also some required rotations (clinical, food service, public health/WIC)
I'm currently studying in Scotland for an MSc in Human Nutrition and I'm interested in becoming a male RD for my long term career. How can I pursure a career path as a dietitian after studying a postgraduate degree in nutrition? I'm lucky that I got interviewed by 2 English Universities for their pre-reg dietetics training course and I enjoyed the interview. In the UK, the HCPC does regulate the profession "dietitian" and only people who registered with them can be called as "dietitian". if I want to practice in America or other parts of the globe, whether I can use my UK registration or not?
Short answer is no (for the US). Long answer whether you have to complete additional work to become an RD in the US depends. I don't know about other countries and I'm not an expert on becoming a US RD with international schooling since I completed my schooling and practice in the US. But regardless, you will need to become a registered dietitian in the US to practice here. Depending on the state you want to practice in, you may also need to obtain state licensure. I suggest you check out the CDR website: www.eatright.org/become-an-rdn
I really enjoyed your day in a live video I have a question how does one specialise in paediatric nutrition
Aw thanks! I talk about how I got into peds in this video here: th-cam.com/video/msiGstK-UQk/w-d-xo.html
awesome vid! question!! any recommendations for students that wanna work part time? i wanna work in a setting where it’s related to what i wanna do which is dietitian.
Thanks! I worked at WIC while I was getting my master's and I loved it there. It also helped me to get into and transition from adults to peds easier. The requirements to be a WIC nutritionist are a bachelors degree in nutrition (different credentials from dietitian). Otherwise, you can look into becoming a diet tech, or other health are related jobs like patient care tech, pharmacy tech, etc. I worked as a pharm tech throughout college- wasn't the most enjoyable job but I learned about meds which has also somewhat helped in school/as a dietitian.
@@ireanybeanythank u so much for this info 🙏🏽🙏🏽!!
Hello, just letting you know that for any undergraduate dietetic student graduating in 2024 or later, a Master’s degree is now also required to become a dietitian.
Hi could you please share that after bachelors how do I get into the registered dietitian nutrition program. Could you share ur journey.
Thanks
Hi, it's in the video here: th-cam.com/video/mte2QmxehLs/w-d-xo.html
@@ireanybeany thank you, I watched it, helpful.
How did you become a deitatian and what degrees and classes should I take I really enjoy your videos. 😊 I sub too
Hi! I've talked about this in one of my previous videos here: th-cam.com/video/mte2QmxehLs/w-d-xo.html
@@ireanybeany thank you
I am a student of Food and Nutrition Department.
What does becoming CNSC certified qualify you for that an RD degree doesn’t?
The CNSC focuses on clinical nutrition (think EN, PN and ASPEN guidelines) so it can be used to demonstrate competency in clinical nutrition on top of having your RD. With the RD exam, you're not required to have as much clinical knowledge- there's also foodservice and other types of questions on there. At some facilities, the CNSC is required for the RD to have order writing privileges.
@@ireanybeany Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this! I’m barely just starting in my nutrition undergrad and had never heard of the CNSC. Definitely good info to keep in my back pocket for the future.
I have a question because this year is my last year of school and I wanna be a clinical dietitian Did you do bachelor in nutrition and then masters in clinical dietitian to become one? Or something else
I did a bachelor's in nutrition and a master's in public health. I have more specifics about my journey in my "How to Become a Registered Dietitian" video!
I’m currently getting my bachelors in Neuroscience/Pre-Med. How can I become a clinical pediatric dietician / what does the career path look like? Are there opportunities for growth?
Hi! I've made several videos on the topic- you can find them in the dietetics playlist
@@ireanybeany Thank you so much!!
Would you say that charting is mainly what you do as a dietitian ?
Regardless of what healthcare profession you're in (doctor, nurse, SLP, etc), a good chunk of your time is going to be spent on documentation. My main job as a dietitian is providing nutrition education and making enteral and parenteral nutrition recommendations. But to come to those recommendations, it requires me to go through the patient's chart to understand the history and a child's growth, estimate a patient's needs and do some calculations, talk with the family and/or provider to make sure my recommendations make sense for the patient, and document them for everyone to refer back to. So I do spend most of my time at my desk/on the computer most days but I wouldn't say charting is my main job. I do a lot of communicating with the providers via phone and chat as well as a lot of calculations on the computer.
@@ireanybeany thank you so much!
Loved your video ❤️
Can u please tell how to be a pediatric dietician ( the course and processes)
I have texted on Instagram can u pls answer my doubt 😊
Thanks! There's not a specific path to becoming a pediatric dietitian. If you're able to, try to get some peds experience during your internship. It's not required, but is helpful when applying to jobs in peds. I talk more about how I got this job in my Life Update video :)
Great video! Will you be sharing your CNSC experience or tips? I’m currently in the process of initiating.
Is this job worth it? I mean by wealth as well as by respect ? Idk i m looking forward to pursuing this after school
Hi! I have several videos surrounding this topic, specifically these two videos: th-cam.com/video/f8eZsug9ljk/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/l9yKiTRThHY/w-d-xo.html
@@ireanybeany thank you I'll watch these videos
Hi I am becoming a dietitian. Can u tell me which country give a very good future to dietitian
Hi, I'm not very familiar with what it's like being a dietitian in other countries so unfortunately I can't give any comparison. I'm based in the US so my videos can give you some insight into what it's like in America!
Hello, I'm a Registered Dietitian here in the Philippines. I would like to work as a registered dietitian in the US but don't know how 😕
This video might be helpful: th-cam.com/video/DH9L0Z-PUjo/w-d-xo.html
I just discovered your channel and I love it. 🫶🏽✨ I'm from Brazil, I'm studying nutrition and I'm currently part of the pediatrics extension program at the college where we work voluntarily.
Lately I'm in doubt whether to choose Hospital Clinical Nutrition (my big dream) or Pediatric Nutrition (my new passion). 🙃
Hi friend! Thanks so much! Is there not a way to do both in Brazil? I work at a children's hospital on the inpatient side so I do clinical nutrition/nutrition support while specializing in pediatric nutrition so it's the best of both worlds!
What is the work to life balance like for you?
I usually work from about 8 AM-4 PM most days, sometimes I stay a little longer, 5 days a week. I only work 4 weekends a year and a max of one of the 6 recognized hospital holidays every year. On the weeks I work the weekend, I take a day off during the week for the two weeks, so I work ~40 hours/week. I'm only on call the week leading up to the weekend I work and I split the days with my weekend partner. On the weekends, we can often leave a little earlier (around 2 PM) but just depends. Overall, work life balance at my current hospital is great (previous one was not so much)! I don't feel overworked and there's plenty of PTO to be able to take it when I want and need.
Hi can u share your salary with us? Like how much you earn in a monyh
Hi, I don't feel comfortable sharing my current salary but in one of my past videos I talk about previous salaries and offers here: th-cam.com/video/BEVYF1OXgh8/w-d-xo.html
Where are you from?
Texas
How much do you get paid? :)
