Starting my 2nd and final year of RT school, age 51yrs!! I started back in 2013 for prerequisites and in 2014 got into a horrible MVA and put me out a few years, I had to start at remedial math and worked my way all the way through to College Algebra, final grade A!! If I can do it anyone can!! Erin your such a inspiration!!! ❤
This video has helped me so so so so much!!! I find out in two months if I got into the RT program I applied for! I am binge watching all your videos right now ❤️
I love your channel! I am a mom to a 6 yr old and going back to school for RT in a few weeks. I can relate so much I always hated school, but I am starting over at 27 🤞🏻
Thank you for sharing!! How's it going now? I was just accepted into the program and start next month! Excited but nervous, I'm a 37 yr old mom of 4! I stayed home with my kids for a long time but once they were all in school I decided I wanted to try out college and pursue my dreams of working in healthcare! I'm a first generation college student for my family so this was a big leap for me and hopefully showing my kids they can pursue their dreams at any age. RT was my first choice and i'm so happy I got in! I just hope I can do it.
I have been a straight A student through college and through my program so far and I still struggle so hard!! It is a career path that you will be testing yourself and you have to dedicate yourself. I have a 2.5 year old who is as crazy as it comes and it is not easy! Also good for you on those two extra classes you took because My program is throwing us to the sharks and we are teaching ourselves everything. So truly good job
I’m doing my pre requisites for my RT program. I have to get at least a C or better in each class to be able to get into the program. My goal is all A’s. I have a son who is 9 months old. I just turned 34 in June and I’m going for it !!
So happy I found your channel! New subscriber here! I too am a mom and plan on entering into an RT program soon. My biggest struggle is figuring out the time ill have as I must have a FT job. I am also a FT single mom. Thank you for sharing your Journey so far! I love the videos!
Glad to have you! Thank you for subscribing!! 🥰 Time management is KEY with children, I’ve learned the hard way. You can do it though! It’s tough but it’s doable and so worth it! I also have a video on how I study. The biggest thing that helps me when I have to play with my son or do things around the house is listening to the lectures I record. So definitely try that! It should help!
Thank you for sharing this. I've been applying to some entry-level master's programs and one bachelor's program this past year and it's been a struggle because in my undergrad I did horrible and graduated with a 2.59 GPA. But, I've been taking prerequisites and I'm currently on my last one: Micro! I'm hoping to hear back from these programs and to get a second chance at being a student! Definitely have the motivation for school work now more so than I did back then. Subscribing!
When I was worried about getting into my program, I talked to one of my teachers who used to be the director of the RT program at my school, and she told me that it’s only a little bit of smarts and a lot of determination, and that’s all they look for. As long as you let them know that you are a hard worker and you are determined to do your very best, you’ll have no problem! I’m sure you’ll be just fine! Motivation and determination are key!
I’m currently going to college to do my prerequisites for the RT program. However, I been struggling with math as well. I feel discouraged sometimes when im struggling with a subject and I feel old at times, after watching your video it gave courage and hopes, thank you for this video. Greetings from Houston TX 🇨🇱🌵
I’ve watched all your RT videos, so happy for you not giving up and pushing through! My question is Did you ever have to take the TEAS exam? Thank you.
Thank you for the insight! New subscriber here for sure! I love hearing the different ways we find our paths. I’m looking to start a RT program soon as well, after some second guessing and a couple turns here and there haha I also REALLY struggled with math too 👀
Once I'm accepted into the RT program the first two classes: RESP:1300 - Respiratory Care Equipment RESP:1310 - Cardiopulmonary Physiology 🥺🥺🥺😳😳😳😳🥺🥺😖😖😖😫😫😫😫😫😫
Where your required to have to go to a hospital 🏥 and shadow RRT in order to s👀 the outtake pertaining to the field, was it one of the requirement on your RT program application.
Congrats! That’s exciting news! I would definitely look at the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system, maybe look up some respiratory pharmacology, and look up oxygen delivery devices. It’s hard to tell you what to look at since every school teaches different things, but those 3 things you’ll definitely learn about. I would say look up some basics on mechanical ventilation, but I think that would be wayyyyy too confusing at this point.
I didn’t have to, but each program is different. I know there is an entrance test for nursing that’s required basically everywhere, but as far as RT, I don’t think so. I just had to turn in an application and do an interview.

At Georgia State you have to take the TEAs with a 70 or higher for RT bachelors program

Im currently pregnant starting my pre reqs and hoping to get accepted into next years RT program ❤️
Were you doing an associates or bachelors program?
Would you recommend the RT program?
Once I'm accepted into the RT program the first two classes:
RESP:1300 - Respiratory Care Equipment
RESP:1310 - Cardiopulmonary Physiology
🥺🥺🥺😳😳😳😳🥺🥺😖😖😖😫😫😫😫😫😫
You got this! It’s good that you’re learning the equipment early!
Where your required to have to go to a hospital 🏥 and shadow RRT in order to s👀 the outtake pertaining to the field, was it one of the requirement on your RT program application.
No we didn’t have to do that, thankfully 😅
I just got back from doing my rt shadow...amazinggggg experience 🙃 😁 & mind 🤯...is allll I can say😂🤣😂🤣
Just got accepted into my RT program! Any tips on what to study or do before starting the program to try and stay ahead?
Congrats! That’s exciting news!

@@Divinely020 I had to take the TEAS test
Our sons have the same name but I call him Liam
Oh that’s cute 🥰
I really hate that they call it “remedial math”.😑
Me too. It’s makes me feel dumb 🥲
Thanks for being so transparent. I am HORRIBLE when it comes to math🫣
