Hi Everyone

I just passed my Diet Specialist Nutrition exam!! Now to enrol back at Uni for the Diabetes part so that i can work with diabetic patients.

Sooooo soooo delighted that i had to share with the people who inspired me....u guys!!

Very, very well done, NurseDee.

When we work, for me, it's so important to be doing something we know makes a difference. Doing something that carries the prospect of changing another's life in a positive way must be a great prospect.

On the counter side, I was somewhat saddened by my local Consultant's approach to diet; when he declared "people don't want to change", so there may be bumps in the road for you.

However, with every day that passes, there is more and more in the mainstream media, and medical journals, talking about dietary regimes, more closely aligned to how many of us now live. I do think we are at the forefront of exciting change. It's definitely a time to be hanging on in there.

How long is your new Uni module, and will you then be applying for jobs, or is it something you will tackle from your current position?

Again, well done, and please don't take my post as negativity. It is certainly not meant that way.
 
Big big congratulations NurseDee....onwards and upwards.

As far as I'm concerned your advice has already been terrific in this community. I now enjoy Good Green Stuff and Clean Lean Protein every morning first thing...it's so energising before my morning run.

So I for one am confident you'll go on to become a first class practitioner of your specialism:).
