Even though I should have joined as a registered dietitian, I was taking care if I noticed
I still remember clearly the day the new graduate joined the company.
In the interview, it was certainly "recruitment as a registered dietitian." I went to university, got a qualification, and worked hard for that. So naturally, I thought that the job of nutrition management was waiting if I went to the site.
However, when I heard about the assignment after the entrance ceremony, I doubted my ears.
"Registered dietitians also enter nursing care."
To be honest, I didn't understand what was being said. No, rather than not understanding, I didn't want to understand.
Because such a story never appeared in the interview.
Before I knew it, far from thinking about meals, my daily work is nursing care. Moreover, there is even a night shift. Even if I asked if I could return to work as a registered dietitian someday, the time was ambiguous.
It may be three years. It may be five years. It may not come as it is.
Was it really "hiring as a registered dietitian"?
There were also people who came in as new graduates in the same way. Everyone felt the same discomfort and quit.
I think it's natural.
There is a job I want to do, and even though I have worked hard for it, I am forced to do another job from the beginning.
I do not want to deny the job of nursing care itself. It is an important job, and there are many things to learn by actually doing it.
However, "whether it was explained that way from the beginning" is another story.
If I had been told at the time of the interview, "You will be placed in nursing care at first. The period is undecided," my choice might have changed.
I think this is not just a mismatch, but a lack of explanation or more.
I hope that there will be no more people who feel the same way.

私も同じように管理栄養士としてのキャリアを考えていましたが、現場に出たら思っていたものとは違う実態に驚いた経験があります。実際、介護の仕事も尊いもので多くの学びがありますが、それが採用時に全く説明されていなかった場合、非常に戸惑いを感じるのは当然です。 特に新卒者にとっては、自分の専門性を活かせる職場環境を求めて努力してきたのに、予期せぬ配属によって心身の負担も大きくなりやすいです。夜勤があるなど介護現場の労働環境は想像以上に厳しいことも多く、これが原因で同期がやめてしまうケースもよく目にしました。 このようなミスマッチは単なる説明不足だけでなく、企業側の採用方針や職場環境の問題を示唆していることもあるため、求職者は面接や説明会で働き方や配属について具体的に質問し、自分に合った職場かどうかを慎重に見極める必要があります。 また、管理栄養士の専門性を生かすために、場合によっては転職を考えることも選択肢の一つとして検討すべきです。私の経験から言えば、こうした悩みを持つ方同士で情報交換を行い、現場のリアルな声を共有することが精神的な支えにもなり、今後のキャリア形成に役立ちます。 面接の段階で「介護業務も兼務する可能性がある」と明示されていれば、働く側の納得感も違っていたかもしれません。実際、仕事と資格のギャップによるストレス軽減のためには、企業も採用情報の透明性を高め、配属の将来性を明確に示すことが求められます。 これから管理栄養士として就職を考える方や、現在ミスマッチに悩んでいる方にとって、こうした現実を知ることは重要です。私の体験が少しでも参考になれば幸いです。
