▲ 15 r/dietetics
I’m a dietetic intern who loves clinicals but is struggling with the constant exposure to terminal illness and death.
I am four weeks into my MSDI clinical rotation. I graduate in December and I have completed my food service and community rotations. Medical Nutrition has been my favorite course to take. Acute care is full of people who are very malnourished, very sick and in the process of dying. I am not squeamish but I am a very empathetic person.
Does it get any easier? I’m a tough person in many ways but I’m struggling with the constant death and suffering. I love nutrition and I love working with people. I desperately want this job to be something I enjoy.
