    My school doesn’t offer the DPD program, is there a way to do it not in university?



  8. malcolm jelani on March 20, 2023 at 9:56 am

    Unfortunately its a career path that does not pay a good salary. You have to be very creative and work have an entrepreneurial spirit if you want to truly make more $ as a dietitian



  9. dreamergirlbaby on March 20, 2023 at 9:56 am

    I feel like anyone who has a bachelors degree in nutrition can call themselves a nutritionist because they have that education but only one who’s gone through the masters/dietetics certification can call themselves a registered dietician

  13. Zahra Hassan on March 20, 2023 at 10:01 am

    Thanks for the video. what type of job can you get with just a bachelor of science in nutrition with no exams or license



  14. Observe Jeremiah on March 20, 2023 at 10:01 am

    This audio is awful. Otherwise information is pretty good.



  15. Sarah Threatt on March 20, 2023 at 10:04 am

    This was SO helpful. I’ve been searching for what steps to take and how to find the right school and wondered what the difference was between licensed and registered and dietician and nutritionist. Thanks so much!



  16. ChoCho Htay on March 20, 2023 at 10:05 am

    What would be your best advice for someone who had an undergrad degree in health science and want to become a dietician? Thank you!



  17. WickedG5150 Forever on March 20, 2023 at 10:05 am

    Everyone! You do not need a degree to be a Certified Nutritionist.



  18. Mishal on March 20, 2023 at 10:06 am

    Don’t really know if you will reply now or not. But can anybody guide me? I’m going to move towards US. I’ve done my bachelor’s in nutrition from Pakistan which is basically a 5 year program. How will I be able to be a dietitian in US?



  19. SuperKvlogs on March 20, 2023 at 10:06 am

    Can you send me a work load schedule of the classes needed for the MSCN (master’s) for RDN? I’m trying to see what it’s like.. If so, I can give you my email.



  20. la vie est belle on March 20, 2023 at 10:08 am

    Thank you for such a clear explanation.



  21. Nikki on March 20, 2023 at 10:11 am

    I have a question. I am a registered nurse and have been practicing for 6 years. Is there a way I can become a nutritionist or registered dietician through a masters program? Because my bachelors degree is specified.



  22. Bhagya Rekha on March 20, 2023 at 10:13 am

    I have a bsc in food science and nutrition in order to become a dietician in U.S what should I choose in masters can you Please answer ?



  23. Brian Boyce on March 20, 2023 at 10:13 am

    For a person that earned a bachelor’s degree not related to dietetics are there any recommended master’s programs or first steps towards becoming a register dietician



  24. Jack Rogan on March 20, 2023 at 10:13 am

    As a teen going into my freshmen year, this sounds a bit overwhelming but i already know more about nutrition than the average adult and i’ve been interested in it for over a year now. It is a strong passion of mine and this video was incredibly helpful for me to know what i am getting myself into. I will keep doing private study of nutrition on my own free time and one day I hope to become successful like you



  25. Nana Ekua on March 20, 2023 at 10:14 am

  28. Blackhaze3000 on March 20, 2023 at 10:18 am

  35. Thaheer basha on March 20, 2023 at 10:21 am

    I’m doing my masters in India and i want to work in uk. Will i be able to get an internship there in uk and become an RD there in UK? If so can you just give me an outline of hospitals that accept international students as interns?



  36. Daniela Herrera on March 20, 2023 at 10:21 am

    Hi there, I have a technical degree in culinary arts and a bachelor degree in business administration. I’ve been considering to go for a neonatal dietitian as I have been working with babies during these last 5 years but I’m lost in the way I should take. Do you have any knowledge if those degrees are recognized in the dietitian path?



  37. Sharmaine Davis on March 20, 2023 at 10:24 am

    Hi Lu. this video was very helpful. I currently have a Bachelors degree in Business Administration. Can I get my Masters in DPD or will I need to get another Bachelors since my first was in a totally different field?



  38. naughtyorgneiss on March 20, 2023 at 10:27 am

    Wow awesome video. Love that you combined counseling with RD. I’m doing something similar.

  42. Erika on March 20, 2023 at 10:29 am

    Hi, I’m not sure if you’ll get to my comment. lol but I really appreciated your video, it was so easy to understand and very informative to become a registered dietician. I’m going through a lot of changes, I’m 28 and graduated with a bachelors in criminology back in 2019. Throughout those years I noticed that I really do have a passion for mental health and becoming a registered dietician. I was wondering how can I do both like you are doing? Do I go straight to masters in dietetics with a focus in mental health? or something like that? Thank you for your video! you’re awesome



  43. Aridia Martin on March 20, 2023 at 10:29 am
