How was your first year of the program?

Yay! Hope you have great preceptors. It all clicks during clinicals!!

Hey, I’m thinking of being an RT, is there anyway I can find out more on the subjects you take in RT school?

Is the program hard ? What does it mainly consist of?

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬ ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭ God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! ❤️🕊

True but also RT's are not Techs! They go through a rigorous program and hold a degree as well as having 2 board exams!

@@xykanexray techs have all you mentioned but are also considered techs. Additionally, respiratory therapists are also known as respiratory techs.. look it up :)

Same!! Gotta represent

I’ll be starting RT school in the fall I’m excited!

I’m glad they help 😊

I love my patient care techs! Thanks for watching 💕

Thank you and congrats on your program!! The math is just temporary, you got this 💪🏽

I'm a student, yes there's many formulas and ranges that you have to know but it's not impossible if you put in the work. Good luck

Congratulations! I will start this fall as well, I am nervous but excited as well.

@@hajarenna9997 exciting!!!! Good luck on your journey we got this !!!!I

@@Aj-me8mo thank you and good luck on your journey as well !!!!!

I'm so happy to hear that! I hope you do too

You’re going to be amazing!! Change is uncomfortable but the growth is inevitable 😍 you should try liquid IV in water, I feel like it gives me extra energy

I’ll have to try that, thanks!

Thank you, andI hope it's been going well for ya! Always keep the end goal in mind

You’re the sweetest 😭 thank you!

Thank you for the support 💕

I love my Pokémon peeps!! I’m forever finding other Pokémon badge reels at the hospital haha goodluck on your RT journey!

Hey, I’m thinking of being an RT, is there anyway I can find out more on the subjects you take in RT school?

Thank you for watching 🥺

They are completely different! RT's have more fun (; but I'm biased

i'm in central prosessing right now looking into RT... which did you decide on??

🥺💕

I’m from a military family, thank you for all you do 💕

I AM currently working as an LNA and was looking into RN School and instead going into RT School 😊I honestly feel my calling has become clearer to me.

Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success

@ very correct

I have a cousin who never studied much, we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than her studies after writing the CSE exam last month she passed and i failed😢, i asked her how she did it, just found out she got help from Mr Richard

Please does anyone know who this Mr Richard is? I really need to speak with him I'm frustrated 🥺

Wow so sorry you failed, i have heard so much about Richard but I don't actually have his info

Thanks girl 💕

I want to do a NICU video so bad! Most people ace ABG sticks within the first month of work. Analyzing is perfected before graduation

Same, I'm in my second semester and the mechanical ventilation part is kicking my ass lol trying to differentiate the many ventilator dysynchronies, ARDS protocols. and initial settings

Hey, I’m thinking of being an RT, is there anyway I can find out more on the subjects you take in RT school?

Thank you 🙏🏽

Lmao!! That would be a tragedy

Hardest part is the vent! But everything becomes a lot easier once clinicals start

@@ceciliaamorena3353 do you have any tips for both ?

@@chastitywillis-jones2920 too many for the vent but ABGs, I like to roll a washcloth and place it under the bend of the wrist to hyperextend. Always take as much time as I need to feel the pulse so I never rush 😊

Funny because I've been accepted into both surgical tech and the respiratory therapy, and have to make a decision soon. :/ I'm weighing both pros and cons. What didn't you like about the surgical tech program if you don't mind me asking?

@@Dee-jp6no for me, I wasn't aware you had to stand the entire time and keep your hands essentially mid chest. I was thinking in the future. Like will i be able to do this for years to come, as it will be hard on the body. I chose RT, because it offers growth as baby boomers are in the age of having respiratory issues, emphysema, and other chronic issues are going to grow, especially with the research on how vaping effects the lungs. pay is really good in nyc and after 1-2 years you can just do contract work away or local to make more money if youre in a region with lower or median pay.

Thank you 😊

It depends the size of the facility/ work you’ll be doing. Some RTs are PFT techs or work outpatient rehab which is less physical. At my hospital we still have to chart between patients which gives you a good 5-10 min of sitting. Plus quite a bit of downtime (1 hr) between rounds on less busy days.

Yeah but the bore size is a little bigger diameter to accommodate the flow! 😊

I work at a huge facility, we try to keep 13-15 RTs per shift. When there’s an emergency with your patient, you should be the first to respond. We have “swat RTs” that respond to every code in the hospital, and they’ll come to support you so you’re never alone. Other than that, you’re encouraged to help out if you’re nearby and have the time. Everywhere is different though 😊 it’s a good thing to ask during clinical

Not at all. Very basic math, just need to memorize. And it’s mainly for the board exams. I explain what I did to memorize in my new video, posting in the next few days!

Not hard, you only have to memorize the equations

I think it’s $70-100k

@@jonlewis4496definitely not unless you’re in California 😂😂😂 I started at 18 an hour in PA. Wayyyyyy underpaid.

When I was a student, I loved to ask about different disease pathologies and tx courses because it helped me understand what we’re learning. As a preceptor, I like to show my students in real life what things in the hospital will be on the TMC!

I’ve been training a new part in the hospital and just started school again! I’m coming back so so soon promise!!!

The first quarter/semester is the hardest so give it all the energy you have! It gets easier. Also memorize your equations and PFTs early 😊

I’m excited for your journey. It’s a rewarding career

Big nut bussa? Ahahah

@@embededusernamehahahaha😂

All day at the hospital (12hrs). There are other great options including PFT tech, home health/supply, sleep study, or outpatient therapy RTs which are very different

@@ceciliaamorena3353 I really appreciate this….more than you can imagine thank you so much !!!

Thank uu 💕

Worth it to get a bachelors degree imo (:

Wondering this as well!!

I love having 4 days off. Work/life balance is optimal imo because of this. I would never go back to a job where I had to work 5 days a week 😮‍💨 if you work somewhere with self scheduling, you could potentially have 5- 8 days off in a row

🤍🤍🤍

Associate's first and then you can decide if a bachelor's is the right move for you (:

@@ceciliaamorena3353 do you think it’s worth getting a bachelors?

RT school is challenging like any other program, you have to work hard for it. The job itself, is only stressful as a new grad for a few months until you get a routine going. The best part of healthcare is that you'll learn something new every day. Some days are difficult and some days are easy breezy.

@@ceciliaamorena3353 Thank you for the insight 💯😎

I don’t like dealing with poop, pee, or vomit.. aka the dirty work. Being an RN has so many more responsibilities that I don’t think pay compensates for. However the career growth is a lot more flexible

@@ceciliaamorena3353 👆🏿SPOT ON! 💯

$53,000-87,000 depending on your state. It’s a lot more for travel contracts. I have a q&a video that shows a few state averages!

Associate's and I'm starting my bachelor's (:

In my opinion it's a lot easier if you're comparing it to bedside nursing. Less physically demanding for sure.

Sweeeet! The first quarter is the hardest and then it gets a little easier

@@ceciliaamorena3353 on finals week now, straight A's so far, that ABG you posted at the end of this video has me all sorts of bamboozled lmao....acid ph, alkalotic co2, low bicarb, a 24 o2?? im shook lol
