The start of a new year can be exciting for some.. and overwhelming for others (*puts up hand because she’s stressin’*) I love the new year since it’s a reason to reflect on the past 365 days but it can be a bit anxiety driven trying to figure out how to improve for the coming … Continue reading A Dietitian’s Goals for 2019

After more than 3 years on a surgical unit and almost 4 years working in the hospital, it's time to spice up my professional career and try something new! Although I'll still be a casual clinical dietitian in a hospital/for a health authority, my new full time role will be as an in-store dietitian with … Continue reading On to a new adventure!

It's been 2 months since I was admitted in hospital and SHOCKED by how quick the time has flown by. It took me a while playing catch up with work both in acute care and private practice and felt so guilty for being sick and taking time off (how silly do I sound?!) As much … Continue reading Being a Patient as a Healthcare Professional: Recovery

March is the month where dietitians nerd … Continue reading Goodbyes and hellos!

Travelling to MANY places has been our must for the 4 weeks of annual vacation I'm given. I used my last bit of vacation the past couple weeks and headed over for a (very short) trip to Bolivia and Peru. Although we ran into some issues including ++altitude sickness, traveller's diarrhea, facial sun burns, bug bites … Continue reading Travel Bug

After reading through some previous posts, I realized I haven't written a 'rambles and rants' in a while! I've been trying to juggle a few too many things at once (saying no can be hard..) and made some exciting decisions on a new (short term) job change! Baking away my days off. I'm pretty sure … Continue reading On to the Next One

A recurring theme on my blog: time is FLYING by! This month has involved lots of learning and exploring. Only bummer - that summer is almost over.. Continuing to apply to various jobs and interviewing. It's always a good idea to keep up with interviewing skills. By applying to various jobs, it has given me … Continue reading Summer Blues
