I had started my career working for 16 yrs in a nursing home as a kitchen supervisor. It was time for a change. Deciding to become a dietitian wasn't hard; the ability to help others and improve their quality of life was all it took.

As a dietitian whether it is working in long term care or in the community listening is the key ingredient. Being able to "think outside the box" and offer realistic options can be a challenge but everyone is individualized and has different situations. That being said, we all strive for good health and well-being, I like being the one ts there to help.
