Video

I was a respiratory therapist for four years and I enjoyed the first couple years but then it just got kind of boring and repetitive so I went to medical school and now I’m a hospitalist. Best decision ever.

Could an RT conceivably teach as a side gig?

Excellent video. Thank you for this. 🙏🏾 @59:15 I love how positive and realistic the respiratory director was. I love to talk to people, be helpful, I also have an outgoing personality, I love to walk around, learn new things, and challenge myself. So far this is the right career path for me and it's what I currently have my eyes set on. 🙏🏾 Praying for anyone who's interested in this path that they succeed and you make it. God can make the impossible possible.

Interesting stuff. Different perspective hearing it directed towards people training for this field. Thanks.

I'm going through a battle with a right paralyzed hemidiaphragm and a PFT is on order again . Have you ever come across cases like mine?

I’m starting my first clinical rotation next Friday. I’m getting nervous. I’m really grateful for your video! Thank you so much!

Very nicely put

Advice came in clutch. Thanks man👏🏽

How are you still liking it? Thinking of starting school in the fall!

I don't see in most of the videos about this topic when the technician use the machine to blow air pressure into your lungs at high intensity...!. Can you explain if this is part of the procedure and why...?. Thank You

Refuah shlema. I hope you are feeling better.

Excellent video! Really nice perspective. Are you done making videos?

Thank you!

Got my PFT Friday. Thank you for helping me prepare my mind. Surely the VA doesnt care to help me understand.

This video is so cool. Your knowledge is awesome. I see why RRT is such a rewarding career. Thanks much.

how much air do you need to take in first before blowing it all out really quickly? how do you know when your lungs are full / amount of air needed in first

Do rt have scope in uk

What are the work schedules like? Do they do 12 or 8?

Thank you so much for this! Im on summer break for three months until my third semester and I want to stay sharp in the meantime, this was very helpful

Thankyou so much for explaining this I'm just diagnosed with COPD which is going to be confirmed with a Pulminary function test, and I didn't know what to expect. This whole thing is making me so uneasy 🙏

I have to work full time as well. How did you manage? Did you work full time during clinical too? Thanks! 😊

Thank you

😂 I started RT at $13/hr

😂 basically if you’re petty and need external validation, this job ain’t for you. 😉

Are you familiar with Birt Hogg Dube syndrome?

I see a lot of hate for RTs please go heal and GOD forbid you don’t ever need one.

Thx

Really helpful

Thx 🙏

Hi i know i am asking you late but can i become a RT then complete my bachelor then by chance apply to medical school i want to gain clinical experience by being a RT then be a doctor...

Do you have to have the covid vaacine to become a respiratory therapist?

Lol thats true. My name is RT about 75 % of the time

Respectfully, you do realize the topics of bases,acids, acidity, metabolism, sodium bicarbonate, pH, mechanism of action for certain medications, ( like how medications breakdown certain bonds like disulfide bonds) etc are all covered in Chemistry

Thank you for this content! Have a interview tomorrow as a new grad RT for a big hospital!

Do You need a lot of mathematics skills?

I have been thinking go in to the program but I feel a little nervous

Thank you so much for this interview. You asked excellent, thoughtful questions & he gave good, thorough explanations.

Excellent video. I’d throw in underwhelming raises. Not to mention Nurses and CNA’s get the bulk of incentive and bonus pay. For some reason Respiratory just gets skipped over (poor treatment from management.) Our “office” is cramped and tiny. lol !!! I enjoy the job but it’s underwhelming in many ways (including pay.)

Hey if I get certifications in the US can I use this in another country?

If someone is asymptotic could the pft still diagnose asthma?

Thank you, I am going next week for my PFT, I have been diagnosed with severe emphysema I asked my Pulmanolisit to give me a number as far as years, I said 1-2 years all he said is he would agree with my assessment, will my PFT help narrow down the time I have left leaving out all other factors like extreme calcification of my heart because of not doing anything, No other deaises slightly overweight, still vaping from time to time ( yea stupid but is what is) Thank you!!!

in houston tx there arent alot of rt and its in demand so they need alot

So helpful interview, and thank you for the time you spent.

very helpful thanks

Peasants😂

Did you say you live in Sacramento ? Can I come shadow you before I start respiratory therapy school?

But California is expensive to live so it’s again the same

$48 hr to start in NY

Its more in NY/NJ

as a RT student, what would I need for the program - pertaining to supplies?
