- A day in my life as a Respiratory Therapist… sorta lol
⋆
⋆
This is a chill day on the floors. Some floor therapies include SVN’s (a lot), airway clearance, lung expansion, nasotracheal suctioning, ABG’s, and a ton of applying/titrating oxygen. Also, definitely can’t forget patient assessment. A big part of our job is listening out for rapid repsonses and code blue calls for our assigned floors 🤞🏽

RT of 30 years here. You did a great job explaining what RT entails. When people ask me I usually ask them if they or anyone they know has an airway. Lol. When they say yes I explain we maintain said airway and give breathing treatments among other things. That answer usually leads to more questions which is when I go into detail about RT. Anywho, you did a great job!!! Keep up the great work!!!!
I’m about to start RT school in Fall and this was so interesting and inspiring! You seem like such a sweet person. Thank you for posting there’s not a lot of RT vlogs out there 🙏🏻
I appreciate you 💕 I hope your RT journey goes smoothly
How is it now? I was gonna apply for a Fall 2024 RTprogram 😅

I love this. Thank you so much. We need to let the world know what we do.
Thank you for this video! I recently got accepted to RT school and I'm so excited.
I am a senior in nursing school and it’s so interesting to see this! From what I hear we work closely with RTs 💖
I definitely have my nurse besties at work 💕 good luck with your NCLEX
Hey girl, I LOVE the Ivysaur badge reel! I have an Espeon badge reel that I am going to wear once I'm an RT/RT student. I'm applying this fall for the program at my college and am sooo excited. Thanks for the great video!
Yesss! The true Pokémon fans will definitely say something, it’s the best lol. Good luck with school!
please post more of these. LOVE it
Thank you for this wonderful video! I have been waiting for RT content to help me make a career decision.
Your videos are very inspiring and motivating to say the least.
hey thanks for posting this! I am in school trying to become a RT and I find videos like this to be super insightful! Hope to see you post more :)
Thank you!
How was RT school? I start this June
Please keep posting I love these videos!!!
U are amazing ! Much love from respiratory therapy student ☺️
More of these videos pls!!! Your the only rrt videos i actually like!
Thanks girl 🥺💕
So happy I’ve came across this video! 😩
Thanks for watching!
Hey! Firstly, thank you for this this vid bc we need more of these day in the life of RT’s
I’m also a new grad about to start work at a hospital. I’m nervous bc it’s been a while I’ve been on the floor since clinical but your posts have brought back so many memories!
Maybe your next video can take place in ICU?
Congrats on graduating! You’ll get back into the groove so quick. And thanks for the video suggestion, I definitely want to try doing an ICU version.
Hey! I am thinking about going into respiratory therapy, what was your college like?
I recommend going into community college rather than a private university. This will save you money but it may take you a longer time to finish.
My college experience wasn’t too great, Bc of COVID zoom meetings replaced in person lectures. We still had clinicals but as students, we weren’t allowed to have COVID patients, hence no experience with them.
04:00 in the morning, ahhhh hell no lol, thank you for your service :)
Please post more videos like this! It's very motivational and inspiring!
Thank you for watching! (:
It’s amazing what the woman has to do to get ready for work. I commend you.
This was so amazing and inspiring! I start RT school this fall. Can you post more about how you studied and some tips that you can give? Super nervous
Good luck starting school! I'll try to think of some good tips
So glad I found your channel future RT here and trying to learn from others love your vids
Thanks so much!
thank you for this 😭. Its been hard trying to find someone to shawdow while working and full time school
Loved your video very informative. Could you please do more videos on why you decided to become a RT, what’s schooling like, pay, and any advice you have for someone looking to become an RT. What are the pros and cons of the career?
I just posted a new video explaining in depth. The pros out way the cons for sure. Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment
AMAZING VIDEO! Thank you, so much for being soo inspiring. You were speaking facts on the youtube part LOL
Thank you for watching!!
Love this ! Very detailed. Could you make a video of how you give report with so many patients. I’m RT student and I get so anxious that I’ll forget something.
Omg yesss. Good report goes a long way, especially in a pandemic. I have some good tips
This is such a chill day. I literally have 4x the patients at 10x the acuity. It’s insane. 😂 over 30 gases in a shift.
Hey! Great video. Can you please do a video explaining what RT’s do in depth?
Great idea! I’ll have to write a list down
First off, thank you for this video! I graduated in December, passed my boards, and got my first job! My start date is January 31st. I’m super nervous, yet so excited! 🙏🏻
Congrats 👏🏽 I hope it’s treating you well so far! Boards was soooo stressful
How has work life been? Any advise for someone changing career and pursuing RT?
@@naturallynay7231 extremely challenging. I am learning SO much. It is different in comparison to clinicals and school (in my opinion). I feel I am relearning things in a different light. However, as each day passes I feel a little more confident in myself. I’m awaiting the day I can walk into any scenario and feel comfortable and confident enough. To simply feel like, “okay I got this”. I can now see why RTs say it can take 2-5 years! Congrats to you for choosing RT. Although it’s been challenging it has been rewarding. I do love it. I just know it’ll take time for me to feel like a comfortable/confident RT!
@@erikahersheys Thanks! It will definitely be challenging coming from a field where I'm a "seasoned vet" to now somewhere I'd be considered the rookie lol. Good luck in your career! Maybe one day you'll make some RT videos. This field is not talked about enough on RUclips.
Was the test extremely hard for you?
I'm going into respiratory therapy, this spring I'll be taking my last English1020 class, afterwards I plan to take Anatomy & Physiology 1010 then Anatomy & Physiology 1020 then Microbiology. Though my college allows me to apply to the program after completing Anatomy & Physiology 1010, I was inform by many on the FB RT groups that it's best for me to complete my prerequisites, that way when the time comes I can place all of my focus on my RT classes...which is exactly 💯% what I'm going to do....I can't wait to apply and be accepted into the program...super excited 😀 😊
Pleaseeeee keep those yt videos coming... thank you
Keep working hard, it all counts! And I agree with getting the prereqs out the way first. The program is very rewarding, so is the career
How did you do in physiology and anatomy?
wow the needle thing really made me feel better about it. I don't like needles either so I was afraid this just wasnn't the job for me.
you are amazing
Thanks for the video i do hope u load up more.
Thank you
Cool video!
That vocera voice is like hearing the alarm going off in the morning.
Literally a GRWM 😂
Abg and the one where you clear their airway and put the tube in their throat is something I want to master one day but rn terrifies me from even seeing videos of people doing on dummies can’t imagine a real person. Where you scared on the first couple of time what did you master first ?
What are the most items you need to buy for every day as an RT
I’m going to school for RT and I barely see contents on RUclips that I wanted to watch all of theses videos seems so forced and fake but thank God I found your channel ❤️🙏🏻 more videos please
Thank you so much. More to come soon
I’m not sure if you mentioned it already but can you explain what your schedule is like? How many days per week do you normally work?
I posted a new video explaining but it’s 3 days on and 4 days off per week 🙏🏽
Do you have to memorize the treatment you do on all of your patients after your rounds or is there a way to remind you of what you did? I start my first part of the program in 14 days.
The treatments are very easy and there are papers in the hospital to record information pre and post tx for each pt :) good luck on your program!
I had a ABG when I had COVID had it done one in the COVID floor and other in ICU
Hopefully not too painful 😣
So I’m looking into becoming an RRT but before I join a program I was wondering if you think being limited on one hand would prevent from landing a job? I am able to do cpr with my left hand but my right wrist won’t allow me to place the palm of my hand down to perform cpr
I'm not too sure but RT's usually bag at the head of the bed rather than compressions. I'm sure you'd still be capable of being a good RT
I love your videos, I’m currently a CMA and I’m considering going to school for RT.
Thank you for watching! CNA’s work so hard
@@ceciliaamorena3353 I’m actually a certified medical assistant, I did a year of schooling for that but I think I might go to school for RT.
@@doomedthunder6638 Oohh my fault!! My favorite classmate in RT school was an MA also
@@ceciliaamorena3353 no worries. Keep making videos, you are doing great.
I’m looking into a respiratory therapy program starting in the Spring of 2022 and the biggest factor holding me back is performing a blood gas. I recognize that it’s a needed procedure but I’m terrified of hurting someone in that way. I wouldn’t want to inflict any sort of pain and it makes me really nervous. Blood really doesn’t bother me, it’s the fact that everyone reports that it’s super painful. Any tips? Any info?
It's just like any procedure, it's not fun for the patient. The nurses poke and prod them all day long so by the time we come in, they're expecting it. The good thing is, we don't have to poke everyone (tons of patient don't need it) and almost every patient in the ICU has an A-line that we can pull blood from without a needle. Once you master an ABG, it should only take about 2 min of the needle being inside them. Most patient's are so fatigued/lethargic once you show up that they don't really feel the pain.
Thank you for the video! Currently thinking about RT for my career
You should try it out! Thanks for watching
What do you like about being an RT? I’m staring school in two weeks and I’m rlly nervous to start
I like a lot! My fav is probably the patients being really happy to see you bc they need your help! I hardly get upset/rude pts. Also a lot of nurses are very happy to see you help them out as well. You can work independently and in a group so you have a lot of flexibility
My question is that what are the subject required to study rt in sait and nait .... I mean is maths compulsory or there is option between maths and physics..
Please reply anyone..
Code Stork was a code for a missing infant under 28 days old 😮
What order do you give those meds? Some RT's don't give them in a certain order every time, but I thought you had to?
Typically you’d want the SABAs first and LABAs or steroids after! This way, the bronchioles are relaxed before the maintenance meds are delivered
Can you making tutorial video about how to wear and fit check N95 mask, i hope you can make it,thank
I’m not sure I can get my hands on the tools for a fit check, just bc that’s a job all on its own in the hospital. I can try though, thanks for the recommendation!
Great video! What was the other healthcare field you originally wanted to go for?
Sonography or nuclear medicine (:
What’s a typical schedule in term of working days and days off ?
3 days on, 4 days off. 12 hr shifts (:
What do Respiratory therapists do when there's a code blue or other emergency situations where they are called to help a patient? I was thinking about doing RT or Nuc Med.
We maintain the airway so the first thing we do is make sure the patient is breathing/ has a pulse. From there we will administer oxygen if needed and obtain a blood gas. If the patient isn't breathing, we immediately bag them and start preparing for possible Intubation. Best thing about being an RT during a code blue is being at the head of the bed!
Hello! Thanks for posting this video. I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to be a RN or a RT. I'm not so thrilled about patient bedside care while being a nurse. I live in Georgia. I have researched the pay for RT but it says around $60,000. Really want to know much do RT with an associate degree make? Was it hard for a new grad with no experience to find job?
RT bedside is so much better than RN, however there are many more opportunities outside of bedside for RN that may be worth your while. I make over $60,000 being an RT and since the pandemic it's very very easy to find jobs including travel. It's a tough decision for sure
I have a question, does your hospital make you go to different departments or do you have a set department?
Everyone has a set department (RT), and you’ll most likely work different floor and multiple floors each day you come to work. It’s nice because you’ll always get something new. Could be ICU one day and floors the next!
I want to be a RT but I’m absolutely terrified of needles, they make me queezy asf😭 any tips to getting over it?
What makes it feel terrifying?
Hello. I’m heavily considering being a respiratory therapist, and I looked at the classes and requirement classes - and to be honest they make me a little nervous.. 😅 How were the classes that you took? Were they tough to get through and stressful??
Tough yes, but doable. Go for it. I graduate this spring.
I think any healthcare program is going to be stressful but always go for it! The workload is not bad and you can still maintain a healthy school/life balance. I think most people can be successful in the program
How do you not get sick ? I have autoimmune deficiency and I'm going into this field just curious what would you recommend a coworker if they had autoimmune deficiency?
Will they allow for RT to wear smart masks?
Not too sure so I think it’s a good discussion to have with your doctor! We do work with the sickest patients and every respiratory illness in the hospital setting
Hi! I’m considering RT, I’m currently in pharmacy and love that it’s a clean profession. How would you consider RT?
As far as cleanliness goes, it can be really dirty most days. Lots of coughing and mucous, especially for trach care which is a huge part of the job. A lot cleaner than nursing though :)
I just did trach care on 10 trach patients, 6 of them a FAR from "clean" 😂
1 was "volcanic"
@@Malficion omg I love this reply 😂 so true
Are you on your feet a lot or all day? I start rt in a few weeks and i have a leg injury and jts for life so im a lil worried
Yes :/ the job is very physically demanding at a hospital unless you're able to get into somewhere small or become a PFT tech
Torn between RT and Dental Hygiene currently 😭you make this look easssy and I’m here for it lol
It’s relatively easy but still challenges you on the day to day in the best way!
So am I! Have you decided?
@@shadowstarspammy lmao yes if not Dental Hygiene I’m going for sonography lol
@@sylviatr1990 I love the low stress environment (at least lower than a hospital), normal hours and flexibility of rdh. Pay is surprisingly great too, schooling isn’t too long. People won’t die on you if you make a mistake 😅 Of course it has its cons too! And something about RT draws me in and I can’t tell why. I haven’t looked much into sonography! Hope you decide soon, best of luck!
@@sylviatr1990did you choose dental and or sonography?
Honestly just starting the process of being a respiratory therapist
Me too! And starting from 0, taking prereqs!
Exciting! It'll be worth it
Please make more rt vlogs!
How many rounds do RT normaly have?
Is there a certain color scrub RT have to wear?
Every place is different. It’s a good question to ask during an interview 😁
I don't hyperventilate, I hypoventilate and it's a big problem. High carbon dioxide. Why can't I find videos on breathing exercises for hypoventilation?
Funny, you take my breath away 🤣 can you help? Getting serious, how do you deal with trauma?
Find "your person". Doesn't have to be family but should be someone who's comfortable talking about the details you wish to share. Could be a coworker, friend, or therapist. Just be sure they're okay with it before :)
I want to pursue as a respiratory therapist but I’m currently 26, turning 27 this year. I was in the military then was doing criminal justice but don’t want to pursue that career choice anymore. Would it be too late for me?
Not at all 😊 My cohort was mostly in their 30’s or late 20’s looking for a career change
@@ceciliaamorena3353 I really appreciate how quick you replied! I’ve been thinking about it for the past week and you just reassured me, that always discouraged me! Thank you again!
Is the job stressful?
Is there a lot of math involved in the RT program and is it hard.
There is quite a bit of math (more than I expected), however it’s memorizing equations to understand the fundamentals of oxygenation and ventilation. Once you begin working, the math is not used much bc technology will do it for you
It’s challenging but doable
@@ceciliaamorena3353 is it like dosage calculations math?
I thought I was young. I'll be graduating at 24, you look.. 21?? How old were you when you finished rt school?
I’m also 24 lol
@@ceciliaamorena3353 whoops 😂😂 great video!
This might sound weird but are you aloud to were a scrub skirt ?
Yeah I’ve seen girls wearing them a few times! Also spotted them at scrub stores
I’m having such a hard time deciding on doing this or nursing 🤔
It’s a tough choice! They are completely different. I think it’s easier than nursing when it comes to bedside care
I just started prereqs for my RT program. I’m so excited. I knew nursing wouldn’t be my thing
Lots of respect for you may need you in near future as I'm a welder an now I venture off to be a union welder aprintice boilermaker so to sum it up I'll be welding everyday and my respiratory probably will go to shit in years to come lol hahha
Are you the only RT in the hospital?
No food or beverages
“Sips on coffee”
LEVEL: BOSS
Your adorable 🥰 keep working hard my friend.
HAHAHA shhhh...
Keeping Starbucks in business
The ums lol thts me
Hi, do you think there is a big difference in RT's who have a two year degree verses 4 year degree?
Not at all! Only thing that matters is how well you can do your job. The best RT’s I work with have 2 yr degrees
@@ceciliaamorena3353 Ok Thank you. My RT program director told me eventually they will only hire RTs with a bachelor so he encouraged we also get that as well.
@@brianalongoria5563 I also agree! I’m in the process of finishing my bachelors now
You’re so funny
FIRST!
aw you look young
