In this video I discuss a typical day for an RT in a few areas of the hospital. So if you are interested in becoming an RT or already on your way, this will help you understand the job flow.

I start my RT program in 2 weeks and I’m getting nervous/excited. Mixed emotions. Totally loving your videos keep them coming
How is it going? Are you enjoying the program?
@@levity90 going really good! I enjoy it. I feel clinicals can be a bit overwhelming. But overall really good and time is flying by.
@@lagueritaAZ928 how long did it take to do pre reqs?
how was your first year of school? I'm barely on my second week of school and I don't know how to study all the material is so overwhelmed
Hi! It took me about 1 1/2 years to complete all the pre reqs my program required
I just got accepted to my nearest Respiratory therapy program. Your videos are so helpful! Can’t wait to watch them all throughout my journey.
Congrats! Thank you! Let me know if there’s a video you’d like me to make that would help you! I have a video going up tomorrow about how to do your best when doing clinicals at a hospital.
How did it go?
Omg this is so interesting. I’ve never bothered to ask the RT’s what their schedule is like. I just know they’re all over the hospital. At my hospital RT’s can work 8 or 12 hrs. Which is a pain for the RTs working 12 hrs bc from what I hear- they have to get report again almost in the middle of their shift. RT’s held ish down with everything going on with the past 2 years, I wish RTs received more recognition and incentives.
Appreciate you
Well they do get paid $40+ so that’s a nice incentive
Currently taking my last prerequisite courses in preparation for the Respiratory Therapy program 😊 thank you for these videos!
Thank you sooo much for this amazing and informative video
Thank you! Check out the other videos. You might like those too.
Thank you for this video! Very insightful! Yes make a video explaining the terms you mentioned!

Sounds good. Thank you! 🙏💕
Thank you!
Wow thank you for this video very informative!
Thank you! And thank you for the sub!
Love this 😀 ❤️
Loved this video! Has a lot of much needed information about rt’s. I’m gonna be starting my RT program at Pima Medical Institute this fall, and I was looking more into it to see what I’m actually getting myself into😂 and this vid was perfect! Thanks so much!
🎉🎉🎉I agree.
I loveeee your videos
I used to be a anesthesia tech. I'm fimilar with the cmac, glide scope and flex scope. I was the person who would set them up. I know all of the intubation blades such as Mac 1,2,3 and ,4, miller 1,2,3 and 4. Oral tubes, LMA, ET tubes and nasal tubes. I made IVs, hot lines and art lines. I had knowledge about malignant hypothermia by flushing the anesthesia machine for 90 seconds and so much more. Right now I'm a PT/OT Technician. I'm really interested in RT
Thank you Soo much for this video! I have wanted to this for years, Especially now with everything going on, along with my stopping smoking but, I need to do my
pre-requisites first 🤦🏾♂️. Any help on those classes?
Love to hear your explanations on those devices, Looking into rt school I’m 24 in ca
That sounds like a good idea. Adding that to my upcoming videos! What area in California. Northern or southern Cali?
Lol at the disclaimer & thanks for the vid
I’m still in preparation year and by the end of this year everything will be clear that if I’m gonna get into this program or not.Thus, I am totally get interested for your topics and content .
I’m hoping to come back here after 4 years after getting my bachelors degree - inshaAllah -

How is it so far ?
Going for MRI and CT scans and maybe RT so this is something to think about.
I've been in the field of teaching for 28 years. I have always wanted to change careers by going into the health care field but felt like I was trapped because I thought it was too late to change careers due to my age. I'm ready for the change
I wish I became a respiratory therapist when I was younger.
When you working as a RT , should you work in more than one department, or should you move according to the needs of the hospital? like I prefer to work in ed than others can I just work there or my work requires gathering experience in all departments
I truly enjoy the content in your channel!! I have a question regarding degrees, I’m stuck in a place where I have to choose if I want to graduate with BS in Health sciences or an AS in respiratory therapy. What would you recommended? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much! Thanks for the sub btw! I think the best thing to do would be to get an AS in respiratory. Then after you find a job you can take classes in the evening or online for a bs degree. I know many people who are doing that, and I’m going to do that soon myself. Boise state is one of the universities that offer classes online and it’s only about a year to two of part time online classes. I also think it’d be better to see your options for a bachelors degree depending on what you want to do later. Many people who want managerial positions usually get an AS in respiratory or nursing and then a bachelors in business administration or something else. That’s my advice.
The reason i say graduate and get a job first is because that’ll allow you to start making money right away. And it’s usually either difficult finding a job with just a BS in health science. And it’s an extra year or two of not getting paid. And respiratory jobs still don’t require bachelors degrees so you have time to work on the BS degree. Hope this helps!
Get your associates first so that you can make more money earlier and experience.
I have been thinking go in to the program but I feel a little nervous
Hey! I am done with the RT program. Still looking for a job. To be honest, so nervous and excited about future work. Do you have some advices for new grad?
Any updates?
Where ever you land seek out a good mentor willing to pass their knowledge. There are RT's that like to teach and those you don't seek out the ones that do. Also never stop learning I am 28 years in the field and still learn something new and lots of times RT's with less experience than me.
I work in the NICU and PICU and transport. I feel left out 😢
We see you man sending love and appreciation 👍
As what?
Any tips working ICU at Sac post acute?
Lol suction suction suction. Best advice i can give lol
Hi. I'm interested in being an Rt. I've been in the construction business most of my life and dropped at a high school for it.
As of New Year's 2022 I am no longer able to do construction due to a hand injury caused by a firework explosion and honestly I don't want to do it anymore. I am able to use my hand and I have all my fingers but I do have some minor restrictions.
My question is to you...is do you think someone with a hand injury could be an RT? Let's just say someone's missing a finger?
Again I'm not missing any fingers. I was not designated by the orthopedic surgeon to be handicapped. But things like playing the guitar and the piano might be a little more difficult. That being said I hope you get the extent of my hand injury and understand.
Thanks for your time I look forward to talking to you more.
Well hand strength does become and issue when working long codes. Bagging and doing compressions is fairly hard work but in today standards they make a point to switch out the provider every couple of minutes so as not to get to tired. Then rotate . Other issues that might require some hand coordination is doing an ABG, where you have to do a needle stick into a patients artery, just need to keep hand from shaking to much. If that is really an issue you can always concentric on pediatric and neonatal patients where actual arterial sticks are rarely done on small patients.
I am looking at going into RT school
Do you think Phlebotomy would be a good long term career?
No
I am a phlebotomist now , No. it was never meant to be a career though. Right out of school I haven’t made below $19 hourly as a phlebotomist BUT I topped out. All of my friends make between 15-18 and my job started me off higher but only does small 10 cent raises etc. anyway, the job is repetitious and if you’re anything like me you’ll get bored with the pay, lack of advancement, and lack of variety. Anyway, I take my HESI in two days to see if I’m in the RT program.
McDonald’s pays more
What role do the RTs play in scans?
We sit there for 20 min flirting with the nurse or playing candy crush on our phones
This loser Dan is not a RRT.
We go with the nurse, if they’re intubated and bag them, set up the vent and stay there til it’s done.
I don't think this guy answers questions
Congratulations on doing keto!
Do RT need a bachelors degree or Associates
Just an associates degree for now. They are trying to push a bachelors minimum in many states but that’s still years away from happening.
Do
You need a lot of mathematics skills?
