I developed a respiratory disease at 25. It’s called Samters triad and it includes adult onset E-asthma, nasal polyps, and NSAID allergy. It took three years to get a diagnosis and then he asthma would come on rapidly. I was spending on average 4 days a month in the ICU. It’s been 7 years now and my first day of my college’s RT program starts in 13 days. I was abruptly introduced to the RT career on the patient’s side and now I’m going to work hard to be able to stand on the practical side of the career.

You will cry, I second that. You will want to quit, they try to get you to quit sometimes cuz they want to know that you want it. At the end of the day you are responsible for people's lives, and I hope if it's me, you want to save my life.

Thank you for your videos. I’m new and currently doing my nursing pre requisites at a Cc. Been thinking to switch over to RT. You nailed it! Nurses stay with patients for 12 hours. You do your treatments and move into the next one 😏. Please keep the videos coming. Very helpful thank you!

Here in NYC, the current rate at the larger hospitals for 0-1+ -year exp is $47.00-$54.00/hour, and smaller hospitals/outpatient is $28+/hourly. I also researched BLS(Bureau of Labor Statistics) and it says the career has normal growth for those wondering. I was curious because I know the pandemic is over, per the govt. So I was worried about finding good-paying jobs once I finished my program in 2024

Dam I already have a bachelors degree and already have a job working from home but not making that much. I am debating between RT and RN; the school that accepted for RT only cost $18,665 and the school for RN cost 95k. That RN program is at chamberlain, I took their Hesi and got accepted but after calculating tuition its way too much money compare to RT program dam.

How often do you find that you intubate? so I was going to school and finished my prerequisites for nursing, however I don’t think RN is for me, so I have been giving it so much thought into RT only because I still would like to do something in the health field, it just scares me the thought of intubation.

@ceciliaamorena3353
@ceciliaamorena3353 Жыл бұрын
Thank you!!! It's recommended but not necessary at the moment. Most people suggest it because you will get more pay, greater opportunity at landing jobs, you can move up in management ($$$), and the minimum licensing standard may or may not change in the future.

I am interested in a career in RT and I like to help people but I know I would freak out or be super anxious working in a hospital setting and have code blue on a day to day basis. Are there any other options or setting I could work in if I was interested or certifications I could get if I was to pursue the career that is not a hospital setting and a little bit more calmer if that makes sense? and my last question is do RT's deal with blood a lot? Do you have to constantly draw blood?
@ceciliaamorena3353

We are constantly drawing blood for ABG's in the hospital. Some other alternatives that might suit you would be working at rehab's, outpatient services, or as a PFT/ sleep tech.
