Are Nurses Mean to Respiratory Therapists?

[@CMoneyRN]

I’m a nurse and I don’t hate RTs. I love them!!! Nothing but respect for what y’all do 🙏🏽 😊

[@AustinMarks]

😁

[@CMoneyRN]

Austin Marks you and Aimee are both awesome! My favorite RT youtubers 😎😎😎

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

Thanks man! 🙌

[@2ndstartrrt844]

No matter what job you do, there will be people who simply aren't nice. I start clinicals in January and I accept that there will be nice people and mean people. I'm there to learn and know that I will manage no matter who I have to deal with.

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

That's a good attitude to have! Nothing to do with a specific profession. It does have everything to do with that person as an individual though

[@AustinMarks]

Well said

[@Quit3Cut3]

Floor nurses and icu nurses are a whole different breed altogether. Floor nurses don’t always know what we do but icu nurses realize a little more. That can make a huge difference in a nurses attitude towards us as well.

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

It is certainly all about understanding each others professions! On the floors people see less of what we do, until there is an emergency.

[@MrPaulosophy]

As a recent nursing grad all I can say is that I love RTs to pieces and can't wait to work side by side with you guys.

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

Thank you for the love ❤

[@RespiratoryTherapyZone]

Preach! You're so right, though. Great video! 😀

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

Thank you!!

[@tereseawalker4516]

girl! yes nurses know what you do and the shortage of RTs in the medical center settings.. We love you guys because the nurses would be doing the trach care etc when yall are not available.

[@PurplDrank]

Nurses do have a lot of responsibility. Generally speaking they need to know broad topics of the entire body and all its systems. Other Health Care professions are mostly specific, but are very very involved such as Physical Therapy Assistants, Respiratory Therapists, Surgical Techs. Nurses have a general lack of understanding of what the other professions do because they have so much responsibility.

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

I can understand that and also think it depends on the hospitals. I have heard of nurses getting "talked to" for other specialties not completing tasks, even though it is not their responsibility. I think that type of hospital culture creates a more hostile environment between specialties as well.

This is the only channel about respiratory profession in KZbin I can find.. thank you. 👼🍀🤞🏻

[@Godfavorsmi]

I have one too. I work in NICU. Her & Big money bound are the only 2 I would watch throughout RT school in 2019

[@1970karenleah]

Most nurses are thankful to have RTS appear when they need them most

[@savingsanity1040]

Some of my best friends are nurses. But some of the ones I work with 👀👀👀👀 you seen my video! Lmfao!

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

😂😂😂

[@livelovelaugh1568]

From an Ed techs point of view Nurses rag on RTs all the time. Sometimes it gets ridiculous. “All they do is give breathing treatments.”

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

That sounds like a hospital/department culture issue and again not necessarily understanding each other's roles. Who just sits around and talks crap on another profession anyway, lol. Education is 100% key.

[@1970karenleah]

It was bad at a LTC facility with a vent unit. The CNO had never worked with RRT in her prior jobs which were all on nursing homes. She thought we should help CNAs complete their duties. It was ridiculous. This is a busy facility with their vent population and your lucky to get 5 minutes without that being filled with charting catch up

[@Godfavorsmi]

You are great at communication

[@melaniep4099]

Don't worry, I promise not to be mean to an RT (or anyone else for that matter) when I become a nurse

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

Thats what we should all aim for! Working together respectfully, even if we don't understand each other's professions 100%. Good luck on your journey!

[@melaniep4099]

Breathe Easy Thanks 💕

[@Blake34593]

You a nurse yet ?

[@UVJ_Scott]

They used to tell nurses in nursing school to watch out for respiratory therapists because they’re going to take over your job. I don’t think they tell them that now days. Just be professional, treat others as you would like to be treated no matter how you are treated and everything will work out.

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

Oh wow. I haven't heard that before

[@UVJ_Scott]

That was back in the 60’s and early 70’s.

[@jeckellstallworth]

I'm so happy you addressed this topic. I am about to go into clinicals next semester and all I've heard is how mean, rude, and absolutely nasty the nurses are and it can't be all of them, that's like saying all dogs bite. I'm so glad to get another perspective. Thank you

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

Great analogy! It's about hospital culture, education and just showing them what you do. Good luck at clinical!!

[@jeckellstallworth]

@@BreatheEasyRRT thank you very much. You are truly a source of encouragement. 🤗

[@Busybeeexplorers]

This is so true! 👏 But please don't clear my Mar. I don't clear your Mar. Please 🙃

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

I've heard people talk about this before but I've never had it happen! That is just crazy.

[@Busybeeexplorers]

It's happened to me 2 or 3 times now over the past year. Which isnt often but yesterday it just happened again 🙃 I was 1 hr late for a breathing treatment due to a reach call so they marked it as missed 🤷🏼‍♀️ they still got there treatment done, just a little late.

[@lindarosesowemimo7961]

Both professions have a problem with each other

[@ballinballinbd5110]

What are your plans after respiratory therapy

[@Cryptosifu]

I would argue that RTs are more hateful to RNs. 30 years of being an RT.
