Hi Friends!
Well, I did it! I successfully completed my Dietetic Internship!
As of today, I’m officially done 🙂
Yes, I realize this picture is depicting the wrong season.
It’s from three years ago 🙂
But it’s the best one I have to show my current mood!
So what’s next?
It takes about a month for all the paperwork to get taken care of and get everything verified, and then you can sign up to take your Registration Exam. I’m hoping to take it the first week in May!
As for now, I’m taking a week to do the following:
- Read for fun!
- Get a haircut.
- Get my nails done.
- Get a massage.
- Sleep in.
- Spend time with hubby.
- Have fun in the kitchen.
- REST.
- Enjoy SPRING!
Sounds glorious, doesn’t it?! I can’t freakin’ wait!
Happy Friday!

Congratulations! 🙂 I’ve needed to consult with dieticians a couple of times personally and professionally. It hasn’t always been the positive experience I would hope for. Having read your blog for almost a year, I have absolutely no doubt that you will be a wonderful addition to any healthcare community. The strength and leadership you’ve brought to your website, the ELF community are irreplaceable.

Katy M. says
Congratulations on everything you’ve accomplished! I am a current dietetic student and I am very nervous about the dietetic internship, even though it is two years away. I REALLY enjoyed reading your detailed summaries about things you did during your internship. I’ve been on a mad search for something like that. I feel so many emotions; excited, nervous, and scared. Is it pretty typical to have to do a lot of presentations during internships? Public speaking is definitely a weak spot of mine.
Again, thank you for sharing and I love the posts 🙂
Lindsay says
glad you found them helpful! i think it’s pretty typical to have to do presentations…both in rotations and with your program itself. but most of my presentations were just to my fellow interns in our once a week class so there was less pressure!
