Still missing the “Registered” part, but today marks my first day as a dietitian! (Unofficial of course 
)
I’m in clinical for 13 weeks and will spend time (about a week each) learning about nutrition for all different disciplines.
It’s going to be Nuttzo 
OIAJ!
The Mix
- 1/3 cup oats, milk, water
- Half banana
- Half tbsp chia seeds
- Salt, vanilla
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese, stirred in at end (it got SO cheesy today!!)
- Nuttzo residue (about 1 tbsp+)
- Scoop Crofter’s Europe
- Galaxy Granola on top
I am devastated that this new hour of rising does not contain any sunlight to help me with my breakfast photography. Might have to get that light set that Emily has!
Boooo to blurry photos!
My helper monkey made breakfast, cleaned up breakfast and unloaded the dishwasher. I think I need to hire him full time as my breakfast assistant!
My brain, ready to absorb dietetics knowledge!
Off to don my white coat!

Good luck!!!! How exciting that you’re almost done…this last round id going to be so interesting! Can’t wait to read all about it.
Have a great day!
I think that rotation sounds SO interesting! Scientific and probably very hard, but fascinating…I’d love to be in your place! Have a great day
I can’t wait to hear about it!
Have a great first day, Kath!
Oh, I am so excited for you! 13 Weeks! Crofters…YUM! Your breakfast looks like the perfect way to start the day! Have a great one!
That’s so exciting! Good luck
EXCITING!
I bet you’ll have a grand time today (despite being super busy.) Can’t wait to hear all about it.
So exciting, have a great one!
Have a great first day!! I’m sure you’ll learn a ton!
I need a breakfast assistant too! I love preparing it but hate the cleaning part!
I think I agree with everyone else…how exciting! Can’t wait to hear about it! And I’m sure the early mornings will get easier
I’m off to clinic, too! Obstetrics and gynecology clinic though! It’s my first day of benign gynecology. Starting clinical rotations is exciting but difficult, too. I like to have a schedule of my day AHEAD of time, and invariably… clinical rotations deviate from a schedule. Maybe it won’t be as bad in the dietetic world!
I hope for you it’s wonderful!! Enjoy!
woohooo ICU!! Although, I imagine it wouldn’t be all that fun because in my unit, the RD’s and nutritionists just write out recommendations for tube feedings, which requires a lot of calculations.
I’ve been meaning to try overnight oats for some time now. (I usually remember in the morning though.) I finally had some this morning with pb and banana. It was really great! I loved that the banana wasn’t cooked. I tried a trick I saw to mash the banana before you peel it. Fun! Thanks for the recipe.
Congrats, Kath!! I’m one day away from my very first oats in a jar.. can’t wait!
that is so cool! We want to be registered dietician’s as well one day=)))
Hope you have fun with this part of your rotation!!
How exciting – I have to admit, I’d be most excited about walking around in a white lab coat
. Good luck!! And thanks for answering my elliptical question!
Mmm Nuttzo In a jar is nuttzy good!
Good luck on your first day!
Good luck on your first day!! Sounds like a great challenge for you. You’ll be great!
That’s awesome! Have a GREAT day!
this rotation is going to be so cool…hope that you can share some of you new-found knowledge with us! i’m so excited…you are THISCLOSE to being an RD!
Good luck today! You are going to be great in the clinical rotation. I can’t wait to read about your experiences/thoughts (as much as you can share with confidentiality). Hope you have a great day!
Good luck on your first day! So exciting! Time flies when your are reading blogs
Good luck today, you will be great at it.
That’s so exciting! Have a great first day
Have a wonderful day!!
Good luck new girl!
Have great first day as a D
I thought of you this morning as I poured my coffee and found myself staring into the cup looking for some shape, or sign. Reading your blog now has me looking at my coffee when I pour it. I bought me a new french press (my other one broke and I just never replaced it) and now when I pour I stare into the cup. My husband thinks I have lost my mind.
Love your blog. Good luck with your rotations.
Happy first day…you’ll do great!
Good luck! Can’t wait to hear what you think about transplant! I’ve been a transplant RN for a few years and I love it!
Good luck today! I know you’ll do well and get right into the swing of things. Your weekend seemed to be filled with fun and good food!!
Congrats and good luck! It must be exciting to embark on this new career journey.
Check out the BIG brain on Kath! You will do just smashing on your first day.
Happy first day of escuela! Always exciting! Be sure to take an outfit pic hahaha
WHen I was in the hospital I would have killed for a breakfast like that. They didn’t feed me much because I was having back surgery.
I’m excited to hear fun tidbits you share.
How exciting! Good luck!
What an awesome experience Kath! You’re going to learn so much useful knowledge these next weeks!!! Can’t wait to share the journey with you!
Creative post! Hope you have a great first day of clinical. Doesn’t sound fun to me, but I hope you’ll enjoy it! =)
The hospital part sounds SO interesting! I can’t wait to read about what you learn… good luck with the first day!
congrats on the D!
Good luck! I hope you have a great day!
Kath- you’ve got to be so proud of yourself! The next 13 weeks will be quite and adventure, but I guarantee you will love it- I can only imagine the fascinating amount of knowledge you will gain over this next little while- good luck!
I loved my clinicals. That’s when it started to feel “real”! Enjoy!
congrats on making it this far! how great
Congrats on your first day of “D”!!
Sounds like you’re embarking on a great learning experience.
I need to try Nuttzo, it looks so cool!
Jenn
Congrats! You’re going to have a great time!
Also wanted to mention that I bought a Bodum last Thursday due to your rave reviews and, um, yeah. I’ll never go “potted” again…
A convert!!
Wow, you’re going to be teh most smarterest dietician in America at the end of this?
Is there a particular field in that list that you’re especially interested in, going into all of it?
I’ve always been partial to women’s issues – OBGYN + maternity.
Your rotation sounds amazing! That’s so cool that you get to study all of those fields, even ones that you wouldn’t think pertain to nutrition. Of course nutrition is related to everything, but transplants? Crazy! Good luck!!
You’re going to be an awesome RD!!
congrats! exciting.
Congrats on the D part – FUN! The R part will be there before you know it!
Hey Kath! You are doing so great! You will look back on all this “schoolin’” and it will be over with before you know it
I am in the process of completely revamping my diet since being done with breast cancer treatment. I eat mostly vegetarian, only eating fish “meat-wise.” Going organic when I can, and believe it or not haven’t had a cookie, cake, or process treat since I don’t remember when; instead, green monsters have become my new delight! I don’t even crave stuff like that anymore. Who am I?! But I am driven by doing the best for myself and my body and am almost scared to put anything unnatural in it. I want to do all I can to try and prevent cancer again. Anyway, I was noticing your oncology rotation in your RD clinicals and was wondering if you come across anything that would be of interest to me, or could help me make the most out of my diet I would love some info. I would appreciate any insight you could give me! Thank you for your blog and all you do! Best of luck in rotations! 
Glad you are through with your treatments. I will definitely share anything that is particularly useful, but in this hospital setting, I think it will be more about acute care than Real Food care.
I work at a hospital in oncology and our dietician is a lifesaver for patients! Good luck!
Opps, “life saver” may or may not have been the best phrase
How exciting to be wearing your white coat! Whoohooo! Your smoked sandwich looks super yummy! I’ve been on a huge smoked salmon kick lately!
Hey Kath enjoy your first day in clinical! It was my favorite rotation of all…I enjoyed it so much I went back and did my staff relief there too!! You learn so much and you actually feel like a “real dietitian!!” I just finished my internship LAST WEEK…Your not too far behind
Congrats on being done!!
Glad to hear you enjoyed your first day. I’m taking my boards and am excited to start in the hospital in 3 weeks too!
Thank you everyone!
I’m a pediatrician and one thing we don’t learn enough about in our training is nutrition… I’m so excited to learn from you and to hear what you encounter. Good luck.
Would love the time to create some of the meals you put together. School….Work….Gym…. It never stops!
I’m so excited for you to start this rotation, afterwards – I was wondering if you would be willing to counsel me a bit? actually…I should e-mail you about this! I talked to you very briefly at the foodbuzz festival, but would love to catch up – headed to c-ville or VA anytime soon? =)
