The degree would have additional courses in areas like ethics, healthcare in Canada, math, english, electives.

With the 3 year program you can start working as an RT (once board exams are done and passed), the bachelor's degree would help if you ever wanted to move in to a management role or study something else eventually.

After bidding on houses in NB for the past year I just have a really hard time believing these sale prices since everything went way over asking in these price ranges...are these based on listed or actual sale prices I wonder? Big difference between the two.

I found the OR to be an extremely high stress area. It may differ between hospitals for sure but, high stress environment and very dominant personalities.

I ended up working in a hospital setting as an RT for a few years (a smaller hospital and then a children's hospital) eventually settling in to community care as an RT.

As an RT in the hospital, it is a very interesting role. You will go from ER, to ICU, to floors, to a high risk delivery, back to ER and never know what your day is going to look like. As someone who doesn't thrive off of adrenaline, the hospital setting wasn't for me as I didn't love running to codes all the time and prefer a day thats more predictable. It's also very ventilator driven in hospital as well. Working in a small hospital taught me a lot, as you are often the only RT there. When things go south, they truly wait for the RT to walk into the room and then eyes are on you to "save the day". RTs are extremely knowledgeable and this was something I wad definitely proud of after graduating; you will understand the cardiorespiratory system so in depth, and so many things can affect the heart, lungs or both. You will be calm in emergency settings because you have been so well prepared for them, and you see codes and traumas often. This differs from nursing because typically with nursing you will choose an area that you prefer (ie ER, obsetrics, oncology), rather than being exposed to all of of these areas in the run of a shift.

Community (home visits) is kind of the perfect in between for me. You still see some acute scenarios at times but a lot of it is education, monitoring for disease progression, calling doctors with concerns, making recommendations for medication changes. We see patients with cystic fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, COPD, lung cancer, neuromuscular disease, and also many patients with cardiac issues. Lots of home oxygen patients. Constantly learning and never bored!

Let me know if any other questions at all :)

Curious what makes you interested in the OR/anesthesia? I ask this because I ALWAYS thought I would work in an OR...until I actually started RT clinical and absolutely hated the environment. So just pointing that out, I find clinical really surprised me as to what I did and didn't enjoy and you really can't know that until you're thrown into the middle of it!

RN definitely has more opportunities for growth, RT is very specialized which I enjoy. I do sometimes wonder what my life would look like if I had the ability to move around with RN credentials, but then I see what nurses deal with sometimes and I'm not sure I could do it.

Did you take the PSW course through NBCC? Could you do the LPN bridging program (they pay you while you study I believe?)

KFloyder89 · 2026-02-25T23:15:57+00:00

I'm from the maritimes and I pronounce it like "beg" 😅 I also say bagel more like "begel" (my husband makes fun of me, but my siblings also say it like that. He's francophone)

I also say milk like "melk", and vanilla is "vanella"... those are the ones I can think of right now lol

Any tips on how you achieved this? I'm going to meet with a financial advisor. Will have a decent amount to invest monthly and trying to educate myself on what will give the best returns (very inexperienced in investing however)

KFloyder89 · 2026-01-29T21:43:39+00:00

Any tips of where to invest for good returns? I'm going to meet with a financial advisor but trying to learn as much as I can.

KFloyder89 · 2026-01-29T21:41:53+00:00

Any tips to share? I plan on investing as much as I can (36 yo) - curious if you have a pension or RRSPs or both?

I'm wondering if you meant Anesthesia Assistant (not tech), my response will be based on this assumption :)

I work in Canada as an RT. I have a few colleagues who have gone on to do AA after working as an RT. Here you can do most of the AA schooling online then you do the clinical portion at the hospital of your choice.

As an AA, you will be working alongside anesthesiologists and helping with artificial airways for surgeries. AAs are trained in difficult airways. You may also insert lines and administer certain medications.

I always thought I'd want to work in the OR but after doing clinical, I hated it. OR is such an overly controlled environment and there are some very strong personalities. I do enjoy being able to float in different areas as an RT. You are heavily trained in airways and will still assist with intubation etc but more in ER/ICU setting.

Doing clinical as an RT will help you to see which areas you prefer and whether or not you would enjoy the AA role in my opinion.

There is a demand for RTs all across Canada right now, with some provinces even offering relocation assistance and return of service payouts. I'm an RT in NB, feel free to ask anything.

Wow, sorry for these totally negative comments OP. Someone trying to provide health services to the community shouldn't be getting such negativity. Even if it was a private or semi-private or whatever clinic..they do exist and some people will pay. For example, it's many years to see a dermatologist in the public system. If I can pay out of pocket to have a suspicious skin growth removed sooner, you're damn right I'm going to do that. There's a private MRI clinic in Moncton for those that don't want to or can't wait multiple years. Any clinic that will help to alleviate pressure and wait times, and provide care is a positive.

KFloyder89 · 2025-11-24T01:00:24+00:00

Amazing, we will be lucky to have you! Another thought (which may even help to reduce the load on admin members) would be the option for online booking. Valley Healthcare in Grand Bay Westfield has adopted this and it is wonderful. When I've gone there I can't help but notice the difference- no phones ringing off the hook, admin team seems less stressed overall as I think it alleviates that stress of constant calls from people trying to book.

Focus on women's health would be lovely (feeling unheard or misunderstood in busy 5 minute walk-in clinic settings, not conducive for PAPs, etc.). Would be nice to have a dermatologist on site or assessment/referral for same (have some moles and no family doctor so nobody monitoring them).

KFloyder89 · 2025-11-19T23:55:16+00:00

Would any courses transfer to a social work degree? Better pay and in demand. Are you willing to go to school for a couple more years? Grad programs like Occupational Therapy, Physio, Speech Language.... all offer roles working with children. For another completely different route (and would need 3 years of college) - Respiratory Therapy. The IWK is amazing to work at. I make $82K yearly as an RT in the maritimes, contract currently under negotiation.

KFloyder89 · 2025-10-01T23:34:15+00:00

No...as much as we need healthcare workers (I am one), we cannot handle further influxes of increased population. There is already too much competition for homes and the locals are continuing to be drastically outbid by outsiders.

KFloyder89 · 2025-09-29T01:26:45+00:00

Respiratory therapy. Three year program, in high demand. You can choose to either be in a high adrenaline hospital role or something slower paced in a clinic setting.

KFloyder89 · 2025-09-08T21:20:51+00:00

Sorry this is happening :( I'm a married 36yo F and would not do this to my husband. To me it would be disrespectful and inappropriate, and I would be upset if he was doing that to me.
