During the summer of 2015, I was able to shadow the RDNs at Inova Fairfax Hospital for 100 hours. What an amazing opportunity to shadow this group! Reading concepts in a book and finally being able to see them first hand are two different things and this was another experience that solidifies my decision to go into this field. I want to make a difference in people's lives and watching these RDNs work was inspiring.  I especially enjoyed my time with the pediatric RDN! In addition to shadowing, I also developed a case study on a pediatric patient with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
