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.

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.
