I recently posted asking about flexibility in RD roles and got a ton of responses from people with very flexible schedules (remote work, hybrid, self-managed time, etc.). That was helpful.
So I wanted to ask the other side of the coin:
For RDs who don’t have a lot of flexibility…what does your job actually look like day to day?
Things I’m curious about:
Are you strictly tied to a clinical schedule or patient load?
Do you have set start/end times that are closely monitored?
How much control do you have over breaks, documentation time, or workload pacing?
Is the lack of flexibility more about the setting (hospital, LTC, outpatient, etc.) or your specific employer?
And honestly…do you feel okay with it, or is it a major source of burnout?

I’m especially interested in how much control you have over your schedule, patient load, and whether you can step away during the day or work remotely.
