With it being a 6 month program, it is very stressful. A lot of homework, not a lot of time. Doable.. but tough.
Were not allowed to have a job - - - Understandable, the internship is only 6 months long, the very shortest available, and between 9-10 hour days with observation and 3-5 hours of homework each night... there is no time for a job.
What was the workload like?
Case studies, online quizzes and tests, papers
Describe your rotations and other professional experiences (field trips, seminars, workshops or professional conferences).
LOVED IT. I did my Clinical rotation at Heartland Health in St. Joseph, MO. Everyone very helpful and friendly. Also did this rotation at Heartland Hospital in St Joseph, MO. It went well.... just not my area that I love. Week of WIC, 2 Weeks at Missouri Extension (LOVED), and HyVee Dietitian at Maryville, MO Just did extra clinical work in hospital. Community with Missouri Extension.. got to do many different classes and lecture at a Women\'s Conference on Heart Health. Gave exercise classes to 50+ women.
