Dietitian jobs by city

Dietitians plan nutrition care for people whose food is part of their treatment: a patient on a feeding tube, a resident losing weight, or an adult with diabetes. Clinical dietitians write the plan and the care team follows it.

Dietitians plan nutrition care for people whose food is part of their treatment: a patient on a feeding tube, a resident losing weight, or an adult with diabetes. Clinical dietitians write the plan and the care team follows it.

Hospitals and nursing homes employ many of them. Outpatient clinics, dialysis centers, public health programs, and food service hire the rest. A nursing home often needs a dietitian to meet its own care rules.

The work

You review charts, screen new patients, and write nutrition plans. You check whether the plan is working and change it when it is not.

Some of the day is teaching: a family learning a new diet, or a kitchen learning a texture change. Long-term care adds required assessments on a schedule.

License and training

Most states license or certify dietitians. Employers usually want the RDN credential from the Commission on Dietetic Registration, which now requires a graduate degree for new candidates. Confirm your state's rule before you hire or start.

Questions

What is an RDN?

A registered dietitian nutritionist credentialed by the Commission on Dietetic Registration. New candidates need a graduate degree, supervised practice, and the national exam.

Is a nutritionist the same as a dietitian?

Not always. Many states protect the dietitian title, and some also regulate nutrition counseling. Read the state rule before you use either title in a posting.
