I shadowed a few clinical dietitians a few years ago and BOY. Most of the work was filling tubes and just trying to get people to eat and not waste, and the most 'advocacy' was handing a heart attack patient a piece of paper with some 'heart healthy' tips on it as he was getting checked out. You're doing amazing work out there

They usually lean towards animal proteins for recommendations because they contain the 9 essential amino acids we need and can only get from animal proteins. the focus is more on serving size and depending on the patient's health issues, it could be low enough to get the A.As needed. but also depends on the patients preferences & choices, like if they're vegan obviously they won't be eating animal products. I'm currently in a dietetics program.

@amandavsevilla5 жыл бұрын
hi kaitlyn!! yeah i agree.. i barely eat hospital food either. and yeah it does look sooo weird to the outsider but when you think about it, but this article breaks it down pretty well: www.healthyway.com/content/apparently-theres-a-good-reason-why-all-hospital-food-is-so-gross/ "The current food culture in hospitals is built to “feed as many people as possible for as little as possible,” Cool said....The bias is toward food that ships easily, never spoils, and can be prepared with a minimum of staff and skill." It's more important to keep costs low for patients coming in, so they have to keep their own expenses low which unfortunately comes at a price with low quality food. I'm not in defense of hospital food, but i can understand why cost and time efficiency is so important-- they have a LOT of mouths to feed. I dont know what the solution can/will be that will make everyone happy but i am aware of this issue. Also, hospitals aren't meant to live in, most patients are in and out within a couple days/weeks. What's most important is giving them the resources to choose better options for them when they are discharged and living at home. to me, 3 days of hospital food is worth it if patients are empowered with knowledge on healthier choices moving forward.

here's what another vegan nursing student said: I am in nursing school and you can't give any medical advice to others such has not to take this medication, etc. While I was in the hospital I wanted to say something to the ones who didn't care about their health but nurses can't do that. We are there to take care of them and follow doctor's orders. It is a very rewarding career and once you are done with school, there are so many opportunities out there for nurses and nurses are always in demand. You can't push your beliefs on them since there are so many different people out there that you will be taking care of, you just have to roll with the flow and quite a few times I had to keep my mouth shut which was really hard to do. www.veggieboards.com/forum/14-general-health-discussion/53520-vegan-nurse.html

I believe she has a playlist with a bunch of her videos from when she was in school/dietetic internship! It's really awesome, you should check it out. :) I'm a dietetics student right now though, so I can quickly tell you the basic steps. 1. Attend an ACEND-accredited undergrad program. ACEND is the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics. A lot of schools will offer a BS in nutrition, but not all of them are accredited. Attending an accredited program qualifies you for a dietetic internship. 2. Complete your dietetic internship. DI's are also specifically accredited by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Completing a DI gets you real-life work experience and allows you to take the RD exam. 3. Take your RD exam. Like many other health professions, becoming a registered dietitian requires taking an exam that tests you on everything you've learned during your time in school and your internship. After you pass your exam, you're officially a registered dietitian!

Idk, during my schooling years nutrition related I went from being a dietary aid which in a nut shell is basically a dishwasher, sever and food prep person for the kitchen to a DTR which is the person that gets the tray lines ready for cart transporation and makes sure the pts get the appropriate meals for their specific diet requirements and they do practically everything a dietary aid does as well as menu clerk work which is like being a walking drive through. Being a Dietary Aid sucks ass, being a DTR is very easy in comparison, however sad to say I'm still being used for hard manual labor. 😑 Anybody who has washed dishes for five hours straight only to do inventory afterwards or before depending on ur shift to throwing out trash and to be treated like absolute crap from some people, I have felt ur pain and promise if the RD thing leads me to being a Nutrition Director I will do my best to be a better boss leader.

It’s my first time to see your channel. It has always been my dream to become a clinical dietitian but I think it isn’t destined for me, currently I am working as a dietitian in a nutrigenomics company for almost 2 years now and I am enjoying it so far. But seeing your videos it brings back the fire in me to go back to clinical setting😭. Anyways, wishing you luck on your work and Godbless😘 --RDN from the Philippines

Hi Amanda! I have a quick question related to your case study/daily work. For a patient like this, as a dietitian, are you required to physically examine the patients skin and/or wounds? Do you meet with the patient and provide consults? I’m very interested in consultation, chart review, and intervention but to be honest I’m a bit squeamish so idk how well I would be able to look at stage 4 pressure ulcers or things like that. Thank you! Btw I’m in my last year of the DPD program planning to apply for 2020/2021 DI :)
@alllls1135 жыл бұрын
No, you are not required to examine patients' skin physically or look at wounds. There is a specific team of professionals who are the wound care team. They document frequently and well, usually in the physical charts with pictures and detailed descriptions so if you're interested you can look there for those. As an intern I did wound care rounds with the staff at one hospital so definitely ask if youre able to do that cause it was very interesting. However, a lot of the times, dietitians will do NFPAs (Nutrition focused physical assessments/exams) which would entail looking and touching patients in the common areas for fat pad and muscles to assess any possible wasting/ malnutrition/nutrient deficiencies. These areas would orbital region, tricep skin area, and the back/ribs area, temporal region, interosseous region (area between thumb and index finger), legs, calves, clavicle things like that. Thats about as physical as we dietitians get lol When you would go follow up with the patient or assess them, it would be appropriate to do a brief education on wound healing and protein intake, vitamin c/zinc intake with the patient just so they can better understand some of the nutritional interventions you are doing. There is a supplement offered in most hospitals called Juven which has vitamin c and zinc in it, however it is more often than not contraindicated with sepsis. The arginine contained in Juven would be the issue with that...mainly when a patient is in the shock state of sepsis, however most dietitians I know err on the side of caution and just dont add it to the patients tray to be safe if there is mention of sepsis and they have nonhealing wounds such as this patient.

Allie H Thank you Allie this is so informative! I really appreciate you asking my question. I remember Amanda talking about NFPAs and I’m totally fine with that. Glad I’ll be spared from examining open cuts, sores, and other wounds whew~ 😅
