Beginnings are typically an adjustment period, and rarely is it
possible to start something new and challenging unnerved. The past few weeks
have been the beginnings of my career as a practicing clinical dietitian.
During the first few days on the job, I almost felt as if I were playing dress
up and at any moment someone was going to tell me "game over". It has
been a long and grueling road to finally get to the place where I currently am,
and I am grateful to have the opportunity to be a practicing clinician in an
influential and respectable environment. I know that the days will get easier,
and I will be rewarded knowing that I had a positive impact on a patient’s
recovery.
