Hello

After passing my exam on October 23rd, I've since been hired full time at a nursing home/rehab center on Long Island. I have had the privilege of being trained by a highly-competent RDN, working with dedicated nursing/medical staff and applying my skills to further individual care. I'd like to share just some of my daily work experiences with you. Attending morning meeting with Nursing Supervisors, the Director of Nursing, the Administrator, Social Work, Rehab and other departments. Issues and concerns are addressed along with plans to resolve them. Tracking weights of residents on a weekly and monthly basis, noting any significant gains or losses X 1, 3 and 6 months and developing appropriate interventions. Interviewing new residents on diet preferences while providing tailored dietary counseling to meet their needs.  Attending resident care plan meetings with nursing and social work to address specific individual and family concerns.
