I have chosen the path of education to become a registered dietitian. I feel this career
would be a good fit for me because I am concerned about others well-being and always trying to
find ways to help people. I am a good listener and know when to just listen and when to give
advice; I also know that it is wise to think before I speak. I pay attention to details because even
the smallest details are important especially when expected to give feedback. I have worked in
the food preparation area before and it was something that I really enjoyed, so I would like to
continue my education to be more involved in helping with the community. I love taking on a
challenge to overcome anything that is presented to me, it so rewarding when there is a solution
to a problem. Salary is important but I do not expect to become a millionaire with my career, I
just want the satisfaction of being able to help others; it is something I already do on a regular
basis and find it to be very rewarding. “Dietitians and nutritionists must be caring and empathetic
when helping clients address dietary issues and any related emotions” (bls.gov). I am a very
empathetic individual and find it necessary to be able to relate to the situation that may be
presented at the time. “Registered dietitians help people make the important nutritional changes
that improve their health and quality of life now and into the future” (innerbody.com).
I want to be a registered dietitian. In order for me to reach my career goal as a registered
dietitian I must stay on track as a successful student. When I was made aware of the MAPP
program that is offered through Chandler Gilbert Community College and Arizona State
University, I used it a...

...nges of balancing work, school and being part of a very active family,
and I have somehow been able to be successful while keeping up with my daily juggling act. My
goal to become a Registered Dietitian will help me provide a service to patients and help them
reach goals that they are unable to achieve on their own. I have always enjoyed listening and
helping others and find it to be very rewarding, so the career as a Registered Dietitian will be just
that. I know that once all my goals in education are reached, the possibilities of helping others
are endless. Although education has played an important part of reaching my goals, I have also
built relationships with so many wonderful people that have helped me along the way. It will be
so rewarding to have the ability and knowledge to give back to the community in the future.
Evidence-based medicine allows clinicians to offer patients the best care that current science can afford. Strauss et al., suggest that the three components of EBP are best research evidence, clinical experience, and patient/client values (Strauss, et al., 2005). All clinicians should strive to include all three components into the care provided to patients. Dietitians are key members of the clinical team and more than 70,000 dietitians work daily across the US (American Dietetic Association, 2010). Dietitians implement medical nutrition therapy (MNT) which the American Dietetic Association (ADA) defines as an essential component of comprehensive he...
In conclusion, It is therefore important that all healthcare workers involved in direct patient care should appreciate the value of providing their patients with adequate nutritional education and be familiar with the possibilities for providing nutrition support if needed for example Meals on Wheels that provides nutritious meals to home bound older adults who are unable to prepare meals for themselves and have no one able and/or willing to provide meals for them as this organization does uses a balanced nutritious meal that meets USDA recommended daily dietary
I have been in healthcare for about 6 years now. I started off as a nutritionist in a hospital setting, working with patients of all health statuses. I worked closely with doctors to determine what meal plan would best suit each patient. I went to work day after day to meet a new group of patients who were previously admitted the night before; very rarely did I work long term with one particular patient. Although I enjoyed helping people change their eating habits and educating them on how to better their health, at the end of the day I felt like there was something missing; I wanted more.

My career choice is becoming a Register Nurse. I have been working in the medical field for 28 years. I experienced many levels of nursing and decided it’s what I want to become. Registered Nurses provide and coordinate patient care, educate patients and the public about different health conditions, and provide advice and emotional support to patients and their families. I will explain my experiences and the outlook of being a Registered Nurse.
When I started studying health and nutrition in September 2014, my goals were, to find out the proper foods that a person should consume to lose weight and to find out what type of workouts burn the most fat. In October, 2014, I volunteered to become a fitness instructor at a Herbalife fit camp, where I helped lead out workouts for my local community. My objective was to help out the personal trainers that ran the camp wherever they needed the help at and to learn more about the proper nutrition choices that they offered to the community.
Dietitian meeting the needs if the patients’ needs as ordered from a nutritional point of view.
Dietitians are today’s secret heroes. What would athletes, patients, and clients of all ages do without them? This is definitely the career I see myself doing when I mature and get older because I know some people in the world really desire to be a better in shape. We only have one body so we have to take as much care of it as possible. It has always been my interest to help people work out and give advice especially my friends, but this is much bigger, it’s helping the world. I find this career interesting because not only do nutritionists get the chance to travel, work in various places or get the opportunity to meet different people but they put their heart in their job.
Nutrition and physical activity are important aspects as they improve health and reduce chronic diseases. In June of this year my family physician placed me on a doctor assisted weight loss program that enabled me to eat my favorite foods but in appropriate proportions and in heathier ways. The best part about Supertracker is that it gives me wonderful tools to support me in understanding and meeting my goals. Once I created a profile through Supertracker I was provided a personal plan to follow including the amount of grains, vegetables, fruits, and protein I needed to be successful. For three consecutive days, I entered my food and activity intake into Supertracker and was able to analyze the excesses and deficiencies
Although the treatment process was often frustrating and challenging, I actually came to enjoy my appointments with the nutritionist in her tiny, cozy office, cluttered with food models and recipes. She taught me the basics of nutrition and helped me form a healthier relationship with food. It took time and quite a few tearful sessions, but I slowly started to view food in terms of the nutrients and benefits it could offer me instead of thinking of food as the enemy. During my recovery, I experienced the powerful impact that proper nutrition could have on overall health. I gained back all the weight I had lost, and my hair stopped falling out. However, the biggest changes were the ones most people could not see just by looking at me; they were the emotional and mental changes that came from properly nourishing my body again. I could concentrate on schoolwork instead of planning out my next meal, and I ...

I am inspired to explore the field of dietetics which is very broad and dietitians perform a variety of functions in their jobs. As a dietitian, I can work in a wide variety of positions such as a foodservice manager in commercial or institutional, a community nutritionist, such as the WIC and Headstart, a consultant to major food corporations such as Kelloggs and Kraft or go into sales. I am very interested in working in a position where I can help people develop habits to improve their health. I may eventually go on to graduate school to advance my knowledge of dietetics.
