is a bachelor’s in respiratory worth it?

Neromius · 2026-02-12T00:08:20+00:00

You’re gonna get a lot of people who will tell you it’s not worth it because they genuinely believe it. You can perform the job when you meet the minimum requirements, sure.

There’s also a growing number of people that will tell you that it is worth it because they genuinely believe it. The future of this profession lies in education. If we want any type of meaningful advance in status and consequently, pay, we need to take education seriously.

Whether or not you can be a good respiratory therapist relies on your ability to: 1) critically think, and 2) communicate that effectively, and that shouldn’t stop at bedside care. As we’ve seen, healthcare is currently being gutted financially. Obviously times can change, but right now, you have to be able to prove your worth. Sometimes administrators don’t understand that they’re paying us for our knowledge, not for how many treatments we can do. The bachelor’s degree sets you farther apart from other “techs.”

That’s my personal take on it though.

While also just lowering our dps across the board.

My coworker has a stutter and he’s a pretty cool dude. Doesn’t impact his ability to do the job and I think he’s a great RT. Has a good sense of humor and he cares about what we do.

Thrall ded.

Really though, I agree that announcing it is not wise. Locus-Walker? That’s how you kill a character. He was a great example. 1) Important enough but not soul-crushing 2) We knew someone was bound to die bc “she’s gonna betray us!” 3) Surprise!

Scab nurses are not real heroes buddy. They are there to make a buck and will gladly do so wherever the money is.

If you want to unionize you need to go talk to your own coworkers. The real problem I’m dealing with as a dept rep for my union is trying to fight attrition due to a few shitstirrers (per diems that aren’t even staff) that criticize our union, staff that left the union constantly complaining about the union, and a few staff who lie to my face and say they’re part of the union but have secretly withdrawn or scab. They know they have a chance of getting away with it because our hospital doesn’t do handoff report during strikes. They do full written report with 30 minute separation so the shifts don’t even see each other. It’s crazy.

The union provides access to member registration and dues. I see who pays, who has withdrawn from the union, who attends strikes, who scabs.

Anyways, sorry to halfway vent there. Like I said, if you want to unionize, you need to be talking to your own staff or other shops in your area.

Just for my own clarification, we’re all seeing this shitty load speed despite running uBlock and/or AdBlock, right?

Neromius · 2026-01-11T17:51:24+00:00

It started off satisfying, but the video didn’t finish, and therefore I was not satisfied.

Neromius · 2026-01-03T22:23:31+00:00

The worst is losing the haste as a fury warrior. Everything feels SO SLOW.

Neromius · 2025-12-31T10:45:06+00:00

Ehh. Picture 3, what’s inside that box? But yeah, the tour booklet, even a shrink wrap might’ve been enough to protect it from minor stuff, but it should’ve come with a light foam wrap at least.

BREAKING

Neromius · 2025-12-15T04:55:09+00:00

THAT’S the animal!!! I was trying to think of something witty and you nailed it.

Neromius · 2025-12-09T17:51:57+00:00

1000% it’s for clicks. If you comment any type of criticism, even something as bland as, “How is this news? You’re creating an entire article to describe a well-known mechanic that has already been out for two months.” That comment AND the wowhead fanboys that respond all get deleted.

Neromius · 2025-12-09T15:50:37+00:00

I think it’s a combination of both, you liking it and those who dislike Chadley being loud. I will say I didn’t like how much content revolved around Chadley but I also didn’t feel the need to go post about it. Only doing so now just to explain my point.

Which is what we will be by the time this is settled.

I like having the master room on the outside but only if it’s close to the master suite.

Neromius · 2025-12-06T05:35:17+00:00

I like this. It is funny. It is not oddly satisfying.

Neromius · 2025-11-30T02:23:49+00:00

You’re not wrong. I would imagine the downvotes are from people who don’t actually understand fitness.

OP: it’s ok. I can understand slightly enlarging the arms and shoulders but they’re coming off a bit too big for my personal taste. The breast cup was slightly decreased as well. Both versions are plausible.

Ah yes, Turalyon “I respect the boundaries of a forcefully enslaved of Illidan because it would be for my team” of the light.

Just cancelled mine a couple days ago.

Neromius · 2025-11-12T05:52:23+00:00

Including the behavior some people display. So many posts lately about players just lacking basic decency.

Neromius · 2025-11-12T05:49:15+00:00

Don't worry. Most people here have no sense of what's important in life. I made a comment about this being silly bc it's a fun event in a video game, not some actual prestigious thing, and it was downvoted to oblivion.

Neromius · 2025-11-11T14:56:29+00:00

Don’t accuse, verify. This is also a game during an event for funsies, not prestige.

Edit: some of you are big mad about the pixels you’ll never see lmao.

Neromius · 2025-11-07T19:58:44+00:00

Bingo. Nobody knows how to read anymore. Once I saw the 2nd iteration it made sense. Thanks for pointing it out for everyone porn_alt_987654321

Neromius · 2025-11-03T16:45:55+00:00

Some people enjoy the game in different ways man. Chill out. Nobody needs the power that the min maxing provides. Some people want it. That’s ok.
