Why do you choose to become a DNS member? 
I was one of two RDNs at my hospital and I was the only RDN with my CNSC. I had complex patients with issues that I had never encountered. I found a lot of help in Support Line and the DNS forums to help me provide the best care for my patients. The networking and professional opportunities for growth are why I’ve stayed despite transiting to academia
