Would love to know why everyone does not spell our names properly. Is the

dietician spelling British or something? Anyway I agree with all the

discussion here. Have you heard " the fat lady in the kitchen " as a

description of

us...

I was thinking it was time for us to rename ourselves. Diploma Nurses get

a

BS on line and call themselves Nurse Clinicians and get a raise.....and

the praise... You know what we get..... !!!!!!!!!! Hey Dietary....., Call

Dietary.....etc meaning us...

ADA needs to rename us so we can get some respect... Any ideas here.

We are more like practitioners and many of us have master's with

internships....

Working on a " project " - need some ideas for all your years as a Dietitian

what are some misconceptions or annoying things people have said to you

over

the years. You can email me privately or answer here.

Some of mine include:

1) The spelling of " Dietician "

2) use of the term " nutritionist " and Dietitian being the same thing

3) You are a dietitian so you must love to cook

4) Shock that dietitians like sweets

Any more????

I wondered this myself a few years back and realized some things. When typing

the word " dietitian " in a Word doc it actually spellchecks and corrects it to

" dietician " . Â If you've used word on your computer don't try it because once it

happened the first time I'm sure you added the correct spelling to your

dictionary so it won't flag again.

Â

Anyway...they are BOTH correct spellings, IF you are just using the word

dietitian. However if referring to the RD credential...it very specifically (and

properly) is spelled with a " t " .Â

Â

Once I realized that I quit getting so hung up about it. But anyone know Bill

Gates? :-)Â I think until Word gets corrected it will always be a problem. It

might already have been for all I know.

Dietician with a C is always a clue that the poster needs to hire a

dietitian! Great way to prospect for business if you work with companies

like I do! So, my vote is to not change it so we know if the company

literature has been vetted by an RD!

One job I had a nurse was my boss and when my ID badge came back with the

dreaded " c " I asked my boss to have it changed. She said " It doesn't really

matter " . I remarked would you change it if your badge said LPN instead of

RN - I got it changed. BTW: Spell check on gmail is correct!!!! Thank you

google!!

A start up company I consult with has me on retainer just to edit their

Would love to know why everyone does not spell our names properly. Is the

dietician spelling British or something? Anyway I agree with all the

discussion here. Have you heard " the fat lady in the kitchen " as a

description of

us...

I was thinking it was time for us to rename ourselves. Diploma Nurses get a

BS on line and call themselves Nurse Clinicians and get a raise.....and

the praise... You know what we get..... !!!!!!!!!! Hey Dietary....., Call

Dietary.....etc meaning us...

ADA needs to rename us so we can get some respect... Any ideas here.

We are more like practitioners and many of us have master's with

internships....

Some of mine include:

I think this debate came here long ago and someone suggested that ADA prefers

dietitian, with " t " , but if you think about it - the misspell comes from the

spelling of other professions:PhysicianClinicianObstetricianEvery language has

its own rules for professional/work-performers spelling, like

Bank-er/writ(e)-er/plumb-er ect is another group, or those end with *-ist:

Pharmacist/biologist/chemist/analyst (and probably Y instead of I for at least 2

reasons I could think of, one is analysis is with Y....)and of course there are

the exception to the rules: Author/chef so we are the diet-icianbut don't get me

wrong - I spell mine with a T (see below)

:-)

I wondered this myself a few years back and realized some things. When

typing the word " dietitian " in a Word doc it actually spellchecks and corrects

it to " dietician " . If you've used word on your computer don't try it because

once it happened the first time I'm sure you added the correct spelling to your

dictionary so it won't flag again.

Anyway...they are BOTH correct spellings, IF you are just using the word

dietitian. However if referring to the RD credential...it very specifically (and

properly) is spelled with a " t " .

Once I realized that I quit getting so hung up about it. But anyone know Bill

Gates? :-) I think until Word gets corrected it will always be a problem. It

might already have been for all I know.

Would love to know why everyone does not spell our names properly. Is the

dietician spelling British or something? Anyway I agree with all the

discussion here. Have you heard " the fat lady in the kitchen " as a description

of

us...

I was thinking it was time for us to rename ourselves. Diploma Nurses get a

BS on line and call themselves Nurse Clinicians and get a raise.....and

the praise... You know what we get..... !!!!!!!!!! Hey Dietary....., Call

Dietary.....etc meaning us...

ADA needs to rename us so we can get some respect... Any ideas here.

We are more like practitioners and many of us have master's with

internships....

Need some help

Working on a " project " - need some ideas for all your years as a Dietitian

-

what are some misconceptions or annoying things people have said to you

over

the years. You can email me privately or answer here.

Some of mine include:

1) The spelling of " Dietician "

2) use of the term " nutritionist " and Dietitian being the same thing

3) You are a dietitian so you must love to cook

4) Shock that dietitians like sweets

Any more????
