What to expect in your first week
Estimated read time: Less than 5 minutes
Your first week is quickly approaching, and we are so excited for you to get started! It's the start of an exciting journey. 🎉
After reviewing this article, your final step to complete onboarding and begin seeing patients is to navigate to your Onboarding Checklist and select "I'm ready to see patients!"
Once complete, patients will be able to book sessions with you. When a session is scheduled with you, you will be notified via email to your Nourish Gmail. Please check both your Nourish Gmail and Nourish Calendar frequently for upcoming sessions!
Whether you'll have sessions scheduled for your first day and how quickly your caseload grows will depend on several factors, such as your schedule management preferences, specialty selections, and availability. You can find Tips to Grow Your Caseload here.
We'll be keeping a close eye on your ramp, but if there is anything we can do to support you in your first weeks, don't hesitate to reach out to onboarding@usenourish.com. We're here to help!
Join your live training and welcome sessions!
We host several live sessions weekly to support your onboarding and encourage collaboration within our clinical community. During your first week, you should do your best to join the New Hire Kickoff Call, First Appointment Success Meeting, and Welcome Breakfast, which are most relevant.
You can find the full meeting schedule, including Zoom links, on the Nourish Group Calendar. (Be sure you are logged into your Nourish Gmail while accessing.) A brief description of the meetings you may attend in your first week(s) is below:
(First day) New Hire Kickoff!
New RDs are invited to join the Nourish team at 10am CT on their first Monday to get their Nourish career started! In this meeting, you can ask any questions related to Nourish policies, tech, procedures, scheduling, and more!
You will receive a $25 reimbursement for attending this session live. If you're unable to make the call live, check out the recording below!
(First day) First Appointment Success Meeting
The First Appointment Success Meeting will be hosted by your dedicated Clinical Quality Manager (CQM) on your first day. They will guide you through all the details of initial sessions, as well as charting and collecting outcomes.
You can keep an eye on your Nourish Gmail inbox for an invite and meeting link closer to your start date!
You will receive a $25 reimbursement for attending this session live.
(Second day) New Hire Welcome Breakfast
The New Hire Welcome Breakfast welcomes new dietitians to Nourish every Tuesday! You’ll meet dietitians starting around the same time as you, as well as members of our Clinical Quality team who will be there to answer questions and share tips & tricks for getting acquainted with Nourish.
You are welcome to request reimbursement for a $10 meal expense when attending the New Hire Welcome Breakfast.
(First week and beyond) Case Review and Collaboration (CRC) Meetings
CRC meetings are optional meetings where dietitians get together to discuss casework, new research, trends in care, etc. CRCs are a great opportunity to build community and get support from other Nourish dietitians.
There are eight specialty-specific CRCs held on a recurring, weekly basis. You are welcome to attend as many as you would like and find valuable.
(First week and beyond) All Hands
All Hands is a monthly, company-wide meeting led by Clinical Support Leadership. In All Hands, we re-connect with our mission & vision, hear business updates, and learn from fellow dietitians sharing best practices and/or current research.
