50: Final Episode of the RD Exam Made Easy Podcast

Wow. What can I say! This has been such an incredible journey. When I started the podcast, I had no idea where it would go, how many episodes I'd release, or what the next steps were. I only had one goal: To help RDs2Be get across the finish line and pass the RD Exam I wanted to teach through stories. I love stories. Stories are relatable and they build bridges and connection. It's so much more fun remembering something through a story than it is to remember facts. So that was my primary focus when creating episodes for this podcast. Over time, the podcast evolved. I never planned to give shout outs at first but as listeners sent me messages sharing their wins with me, I wanted to celebreat that on a much bigger scale. So I incorporated that into the podcast and I'm so glad I did. Because celebrating your wins has truly inspired me and reminded me why I'm so proud to be part of this incredible dietitian community. In this episode, I share my final thoughts, words of advice, and how you can find me going foward. While this is the end of this podcast, I'm moving on to other projects and opportunities. You can continue to find me on instagram @jananichollrd or at my website <a href= "https://www.jananicholl.com">www.jananicholl.com</a>. Tune in for my final thoughts, words of encouragement, sincere appreciation, and motivational message to keep you going for your dreams. Thank you for such an incredible journey. You've got this my friend.

49: Study Materials for the RD Exam

I get asked a lot from RDs2Be what study material they should choose. There used to be very few options but now, there are more options which is great. But with more options, it means you have to make more decisions. And that can be exhausting when you're this close to wrapping up this chapter of your educational career. So I wanted to do a review of the study materials available and give a little advice that I hope will help you with this question. And remember, the goal is to simply pass. Even if you JUST pass. Even if you just squeeze by. No one cares. Once you're a dietitian, the score you got on the exam is completely irrelevant. A pass is a pass! So just keep focused on squeezing past the finish line. This is what you'll learn in this episode: <ul> <li>The different study materials available on the market. </li> <li>My personal advice on how to go about choosing study material that works best for you and why I recommend you pick ONE study resource to study from</li> <li>The importance of getting a hold of your perfectionism and imposture syndrome - speaking from experience</li> </ul> And I give 5 shout outs to new RD's who joined the RD community. Here's a glance at this episode: [03:40] A discussion of Jean Inman which has been around for many years including the format of the study material and options for RDs2Be [05:00] A review of Breeding and Associates and the options that are now available [05:57] The study material offered by the Commissio on Dietetic Registration (CDR) [07:03] The resource available to RDs2Be who learn best by studying from flash cards [07:34] An online option called Visual Veggies which also has many add-on options [08:08] Book options called Dietitian Exam Secrets Study Guide and Review of Dietetics [11:14] A reminder that the score on the exam does NOT define your worth or value as a dietitian [12:02] Personal advice about the importance of studying the way that works best for you [15:41] I get vulnerable about perfectionism and Imposture Syndrome [18:02] Why I think it's so important to pick one resource to study from Here are the links to different RD Exam study materials: <a href="https://www.inmanassoc.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Jean Inman</a> <a href="https://www.breedingandassociates.com/products/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Breeding and Associates</a> <a href="https://www.eatrightprep.org" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">eatrightPREP</a> from CDR <a href="https://www.dietitianinaflash.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Dietitian in a Flash</a> <a href="https://www.visualveggies.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Visual Veggies</a> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Registered-Dietitian-Secrets-Study-Guide/dp/1610728033/ref=sr_1_1?crid=348COJTC4Q8QT&keywords=dietitian+exam+secrets+study+guide&qid=1692209688&sprefix=dietitian+exam+secrets+study+guid%2Caps%2C174&sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dietitian Exam Secrets Study Guide</a> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Review-Dietetics-Registration-Examination-Dietitians/dp/099117884X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3DCCU0A0LITPM&keywords=review+of+dietetics&qid=1692209755&sprefix=review+of+dietetics%2Caps%2C187&sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Review of Dietetics</a> And as promised, here's the link to the free resource I created for Episode 2 on <a href= "https://awesome-artisan-4179.ck.page/04924eedc6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">how to create a study schedule</a> as well as the <a href= "https://jananicholl.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/RD+Exam+Content+Outline.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">4 domain exam breakdown</a> from CDR.

48: Stages of Change

No matter what happens in life, things will change. It's inevitable. Often times, things change without you having any control over it. When that happens, you have to be resilient, adapt, and move on. But not all change is forced. Lots of change happens because people realize they have to make a change and can't continue things status quo. You've likely gone through the stages of change at some point in your own life too. As dietitians, your job is often to help people through the stages of change and to meet them where they're at. It's also important and helpful to be able to identify what stage of change someones at. This episode goes into the different stages of change. I incorporate some examples of each and stories to show what these stages of change look like when working with clients. This is what you'll learn in this episode: <ul> <li>What is meant by the stages of change</li> <li>How many stages there are and the characteristics in each stage of change</li> <li>How to determine the stage of change someone's at through examples</li> </ul> Here's a glance at this episode: [06:10] The first stage of change - Precontemplation [06:52] The second stage of change - Contemplation [07:40] The third stage of change - Preparation [08:25] The fourth stage of change - Action [09:25] The fifth stage of change - Maintenance [11:13] Some real life examples to help you identify the stage of change someone is at so you can help them move through the stages of change and achieve their goals. "Change is the only constant" ~ Heraclitus
