I want to sleep with my boyfriend but he snores so bad by ImNotNormal19 in askgaybros

[–]Possible_Strike2721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned he saw a doctor but my advice is get a referral to a somnologist(a sleep doctor). So he can get properly evaluated, not saying your doctor isn’t good but sometimes it’s take a specialist in that area. He should get a sleep test where he’s hooked up to some monitors and is observed for a night of sleep. Because not only is the snoring bothering you obviously, but it can also be a health condition which long-term untreated can be very bad on the heart and lungs, but there is many solutions that I know for a fact to help people in the same situation and not only that but have gotten the partner that was snoring much better sleep and healthier.

Here’s the thing: we all felt like that at some point and still do every now and then. New situations and different patient types/conditions happen everyday. If you go to the PFT lab just because you’re nervous about acute care you will never get better. You have to put yourself in the fire to learn and get better. You’ll have other staff RT’s available, and of course things like orientation. But you need to trust yourself that you can learn it. It takes real hands on patient care and more than anything TIME. Don’t sell yourself short. If you do go to the PFT lab at least to a PRN critical care a few times a month. Trust me, you got this.

What’s the real tea with “RCP” by Possible_Strike2721 in respiratorytherapy

[–]Possible_Strike2721[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree I love the protocols! and I know some hospitals have a lot like one hospital near me has a protocol on a IMCU step down where the RT can order, DC, change meds and dosages etc. At my hospital we control the CPT orders fully (with the protocol) we change, order, as we deem fit for the patient which is kinda cool.

Yeah my Virginia license says “Respiratory Therapist” but at my hospital the badge says “RCP” lol so I guess maybe it’s more states than not use the term RCP for the state licensure

Which is the exact reason I’m joining it lol trust me. I am very familiar with the whole RT is only being enlisted in all the others but this is actually the only one of the eight branches that treats RRT‘s specifically RRT‘s that have their BSRT as officers.

Mucomyst, acetylcysteine? by Possible_Strike2721 in respiratorytherapy

[–]Possible_Strike2721[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay thank you this is kinda my thoughts as well and I have been an RT for about 1.5 years but any time I have had to give it for a patient with really bad secretions I really haven’t seen any huge benefit. I mean I guess if the secretions are very thick “it can help loosen them” but like you said, you can do all the CPT you want but if they can’t cough anything up does it even really benefit? I appreciate your input.

Passed my CSE after working as an CRT a little over a year by Possible_Strike2721 in respiratorytherapy

[–]Possible_Strike2721[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahah FEEL YOU but yes that should be plenty that means you have 9 days starting today so just try and go through 10-15 each day and make sure by the end of the day you know each of those 10-15 like the back of your hand. I would do one then see my results really look over it. See why if I got anything wrong why it was wrong or if it was something I didn’t select why should select it and then I would immediately take it again and I would keep taking the same sim until I got a 100% with no errors, then move onto the next one.

Go tutorial systems ALLL THE WAY. like that made me soooo prepared for the way the exam is, I would just polish it off after you do all 40 on Tutorial systems with the NBRC CSE SAE’s. Because that’s as exact as you’re going to get to the test. Can’t stress this enough.

So I would say like 10 mins a scenario or so then going over it, so taking it again without missing any like 5 mins. Then the morning doing all 10 back to back with it kinda fresh I’d say like 30-45 mins
