I have studied human biosciences and nutrition within my health science diploma/degree; both of these have brought me valuable skills and knowledge to succeed in this role.

You have brought me, Betty Parris, up here today to accuse me for using witchcraft, where it is Abigail that should be accused. She had drunk blood, infront of our very own eyes and threatened to hurt us if we say a word about that night, she had told the Putnams that I fly, they waited for an approval so the town can riet against the court, not only Abigail, but it was also Tituba, aye, Tituba she conjured the devil, she was the one that made me drink that wretched soup.

These health care teams often are made up of many different types of professionals including doctors, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, therapists, registered dietitians (RD), and many other different types of technologists and technicians. Although all of these members of the team are essential, the role registered dietitian’s play and the knowledge they contribute is vital to many different specialties in health care. According to a study by Kelly Adams, Karen Lindell, Martin Kolhmeier, and Steven Zeisel, only 30% of medical schools require an actual separate course in nutrition. Although their curriculum may include nutrition throughout the many different courses a physician has to take, this is an inadequate amount of time being spent on nutrition to be considered and expert in this field, which results in the vitality of having and maintaining a RD on their team. Nutrition can prevent and help treat many different problems that arise in clinical care and the different specialties that it entails.

Nutrition has always been a big part of my life even prior to becoming a nurse. On a daily basis I am using nutrition in some way or another to teach my patients or learn something about myself. I usually follow the latest nutritional news because and I am a firm believer that diet is key in health and healing.NS325 has been a very useful and knowledgeable course because I can personally relate to it and can apply much of the information learned to my own life and career. The Diet Analysis project was wonderful because it gave me a first hand look at my own diet habits.

Traditionally the term nutrition has been associated with alternative medicine with notable example in the work of Robert O. Young. However, this association has been disputed with celebrity nutritionist and self taught nutritionist being classified as a danger to the public. Nutrition is now recognized as a scientific discipline that employs standard scientific formula and scientific evidence in its operation. Today the Association for Nutrition keeps a log

Getting a Bachelors of Science in Nutrition is a valuable investment. There are different careers to choose from that include clinical, corporate, food service, government and military service. In nutrition, the more experienced the person is the better the opportunities. Therefore, as a nutrition undergraduate student, I plan to build my experience to be a competitive applicant for the careers I wish to work for, which are a nutrition lecturer, nutrition marketing business partner, or nutrition researcher.

Being a Nutritionist is no easy feat. You have to work hard to acquire the proper credentials as well as having an abundance of knowledge based on health issues and food science. It is also important to build people skills and understand the health concerns of every client.

Ever since kindergarten, one is asked, “what do you want to be when you grow up”? When younger, the answers vary from princess to astronaut, and it is more of an amusing thought than a serious question. On the other hand, as one ages, the question becomes tougher to answer and the answers more realistic. In addition, the question is no longer just “what do you want to be”, but “how do you plan to get there”? It took me awhile for me to truly know what my future aspiration would be, because in a world with so many possibilities it was difficult to determine the career I most desired. Ultimately after much thought, I have decided that my future aspiration is to become a registered dietician.

Section A: Background 1.) Motivation: At the age of 16 I was very interested in health and fitness. I taught myself everything I needed to know about nutrition by researching and buying as many books as I can. I was so passionate about nutrition that I could not wait to get into college and pursue by dreams as being a Nutritionist.

When I first began college I was unsure of what career path I wanted to pursue, but I knew whatever I chose would lead me to a challenging and rewarding career. My first semester I enrolled as a biology major because of my interest in science and desire to work within the health care field. This same semester I also happened to be taking a nutrition class as apart of my general education, and I was introduced to the science of nutrition. As the semester progressed my passion for nutrition grew, while the feelings of uncertainty I had about my future career path began to dissolve. I was drawn to nutrition once I began learning about the effect that food has on our health, and realized I could help people suffering from diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease, which are so prevalent today. I knew that choosing to major in dietetics was going to require an immense amount of hard work and dedication, but I decided to accept the challenge and pursue a career in dietetics.

A dietitian’s job is to promote health and control diseases through nutritional education. A responsibility of a dietitian or nutritionist might be advising patients on nutritional

When I first began college I was unsure of what career I wanted to pursue, but I knew whatever I chose would lead me to a challenging and rewarding career. My first semester at California State University, Fresno (CSU, Fresno) I enrolled as a biology major because of my interest in science, but I also happened to be taking a nutrition class as a part of my general education. As the semester progressed my interest in nutrition grew, while the feelings of uncertainty I had about my future career began to dissolve. I was drawn to the field of dietetics once I began learning about the effect that food has on the human body, and realized I could educate others on how to combat diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.
