I have a cousin who never studied much, we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than her studies after writing the CSE exam last month she passed and i failed😢, i asked her how she did it, just found out she got help from Mr Richard
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.
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.
I’m a single parent of three and it’s been SO HARD. I think I’ve frustration cried six times and “quit” three times. God bless my professors, literally angels in scrubs. And my classmates are the most beautiful souls in the whole wide world
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.
@@blakejonathan4505 you should look into nursing schools that are local or accelerated BSN or MSN that for non nursing degree ppl, just dont go into general nursing you'll burn out quickly. find a niche, like labor&delivery, mental health, cath lab , OR etc.
In NY they're offering 95k starting for RTs. Look at indeed if you're interested in pay right now because the numbers are pre Covid so take that into consideration when looking into programs and jobs
I'm in my 40s and want to make a career change...15 years in the pharmaceutical industry and tired of instability. How long will schooling take approximately?
I think it depends on the hospital. Most places start on nights and offer day time positions internally first. I got a daytime position out of school the place paid the night shift so much they only have daytime slots open
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?
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.
Hey just found your channel and i already love it! I have my MA and associates degree and thinking about going to RT school. Why do most people suggest or have to go to get a bachelors degree in RT? Is it recommended?
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.
How much math do you have to use while working? Can you give examples? I suck at math but I really want to do RT! This may sound dumb but what exactly do you do when you respond to a code blue?
When RT's help with codes, we are always at the head of the bed, bagging the patient and helping setup/assist for intubation with the Dr. We're the airway and maintain it the whole time.
Nothing inspired me, sadly. It wasn’t until I was in the program that I knew what it actually was. Luckily everything worked out! There were no RT videos on YT to help me decide at the time
Hello, could you please help me, I have a question. Do you know if a foreign respiratory therapist can homologate her title to practice in the United States?
Which schooling would you recommend to become a RRT? A school that set up the classes for you or a regular college? I’m kind of having trouble deciding which route to take
RRT is more limited when it comes to career advancement. However, retirement, investment, insurance, schedule flexibility are almost the same across the board
You keep trying (: You’ll have to wait 120 days to take it but it’s unlimited attempts. Be sure to take Kettering or Lindsey Jones if you’re having trouble
@@ceciliaamorena3353 ahh thank god then im gonna apply myself to my communicty college program if thats the case lol ...why does it say it gives 3 attemps? And wait 120 days between those 3 attempts
The CSE exam is very difficult to pass, I can't believe i failed after studying with so many materials😞
Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success
@ very correct
I have a cousin who never studied much, we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than her studies after writing the CSE exam last month she passed and i failed😢, i asked her how she did it, just found out she got help from Mr Richard
Please does anyone know who this Mr Richard is? I really need to speak with him I'm frustrated 🥺
Wow so sorry you failed, i have heard so much about Richard but I don't actually have his info

You can do it, I so wanna go for it as a social worker wanting to apply for Fall 2024 for am RT program, any advice?
The program or prerequisites like physiology were very difficult?

That's the very best part haha. Good luck on schooling and thanks for supporting!
So true
What kind of math 😭 I am literally the WORST AT MATH
Hi I’m an RT here in Philippines is there any chance on us from other country to apply there in US and do you know how? Thanks.

@@ulari4812 its alot of information but i think its managable
@@blakejonathan4505a lot of people with bachelors and masters go back to get associates degree because it’s better pay
I’m already crying just from the anticipation . Pray for me guys .

😮💨💸
Yeah I was about to say nobody is making that little of pay here in Texas lol 😂 they need to update their info
What hospitals?
@@thetruthsayer8347 Mount Sinai, montefiore, a few of the city hospitals NYCHH
Just started the program here in SA Tx, wish me luck!
RT student here. love your channel!
I appreciate you! Good luck in school
I am from Pakistanamd doing bs in respiratory therapy that exam should I pass so that I can work as respiratory therapist in uk
You really inspire confidence, I was so nervous after watching your study tips video, now I’m not nervous
Thank you! You got this!
Your videos are so helpful! Keep up the great work.
Could you please talk about study
What’s the name of the hospital you work at. Looks like a huge hospital
What kind of math is required? I struggle hard with math :,)
I'm in my 40s and want to make a career change...15 years in the pharmaceutical industry and tired of instability.
How long will schooling take approximately?
2yrs
These videos are so helpful. Thanks :)
No, thank you sm for watching 🤍
Do you get to pick if you wanna work on the night shift? or is it mandatory?
You choose, usually when you apply for jobs!
@@ceciliaamorena3353 That is good to know!
I think it depends on the hospital. Most places start on nights and offer day time positions internally first. I got a daytime position out of school the place paid the night shift so much they only have daytime slots open

I’m currently in school for RT. I am terrified of the math.
What does the math consist of ?
How much math do you have to use while working? Can you give examples? I suck at math but I really want to do RT! This may sound dumb but what exactly do you do when you respond to a code blue?
Hardly ever but when you do, it's like multiplying a few numbers. The computer does the rest for you
When RT's help with codes, we are always at the head of the bed, bagging the patient and helping setup/assist for intubation with the Dr. We're the airway and maintain it the whole time.
How many rts are usually on the same shift as you?
Minimum 13 for a 700 bed hospital. It varies by facility
What inspired you to go for RT?
Nothing inspired me, sadly. It wasn’t until I was in the program that I knew what it actually was. Luckily everything worked out! There were no RT videos on YT to help me decide at the time
Is there any programs they have the pre reqs within? Or you have to take all the pre reqs then apply for the program
This is very helpful and informative, thank you 🙏🏽
Hello, could you please help me, I have a question. Do you know if a foreign respiratory therapist can homologate her title to practice in the United States?
Please give me more information on RT
I love your channel keep going 💕
Thank you so much 🤍🤍
My gf is failing rt class. What can she do to pass?
There’s no universal answer for that
Girl we want to know how much you get paid…not no statistic. We can look that up outselves
Lol just trying to help out 😂 my coworkers watch my videos so I don’t think it’s appropriate to say haha
Exactly SMH
Which schooling would you recommend to become a RRT? A school that set up the classes for you or a regular college? I’m kind of having trouble deciding which route to take
Either type of schooling works. Just make sure it’s accredited and if credits will transfer if you choose to pursue a higher degree 😊
@@ceciliaamorena3353 thank you 🙏🏾!
If you can find a community college. Tuition is way less and usually they have good faculty. Gov't subsidized education pays well!
If you
Do you have any speciality credentials ? And would you recommend getting one?
I’m working on some right now and would definitely recommend. ACCS and NPS for sure
How many times did you take your TMC/CSE? #FutureRT
Only once 🙏🏽
After RT years, what do you consider doing?
Not sure yet but I’m going to get my BS first
How many years does the respiratory therapist study?
Usually 2 years
What are the benefits you get from being a RRT? ( For Example: insurance etc.)
RRT is more limited when it comes to career advancement. However, retirement, investment, insurance, schedule flexibility are almost the same across the board
Are you studying two years 2
I studied for about 2 years for my AAS in RT
How difficult was it finding a job?
I had 3 job offers in WA before I finished my program. I applied to one hospital in my current state and was hired within 1 week
RT vs nursing which one is best
That's a good question
wanna ask how to wash the scrub after work
I always wash them inside out on delicate setting. Hot water is best and hang dry to make them last longer 💕
What happens if you fail all 3 times for the tests you take after graduation? Was going to RT school all for nothing ? D:
You keep trying (: You’ll have to wait 120 days to take it but it’s unlimited attempts. Be sure to take Kettering or Lindsey Jones if you’re having trouble
@@ceciliaamorena3353 ahh thank god then im gonna apply myself to my communicty college program if thats the case lol ...why does it say it gives 3 attemps? And wait 120 days between those 3 attempts
Where did you go for you return school if I may ask?
I went to a community college (:
I am looking into community college in my area and hoping they don’t have a waitlist
Do you regret being a respiratory therapist?
No regrets. I am much happier than I thought I would be but may switch roles/ jobs in the future (:
@@ceciliaamorena3353 Hi Cecilia, would you consider healthcare management roles in the future or a different career swap altogether?
😇🥰
