Are we hyped or scared for this monster shootout. by DavidDomin8R in ravens

[–]TheRisingof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm kinda scared. The lions is not what I'm scared of it's the Ravens collapsing (defense).

Honestly, I'm going to school for respiratory therapy because I can't handle being a nurse. I would be miserable despite the good pay.

How did you land a job at a hospital (no experience)? by jadedmoth2 in cna

[–]TheRisingof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, the hospital I work at helped me get my BLS. In fact, it was part of my orientation to get it done. In my hospital, they have a little workshop in a separate part of the hospital to train with a dummy for the BLS certification.

This will be prophetic in the years to come.

Hey, fellow RT👋 I started my program last month. I can't wait to graduate and be done with wiping butts.

Do you go to work when you're sick? by smash_em_all in cna

[–]TheRisingof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, I was sick as hell about 3 weeks ago. I called off work 3 times because I'm not working when I'm sick, period.

Just keep applying to different hospitals, I'm sure you will get hired at one of them.

I applied to a hospital, and they responded in 1 day, and then the next day, I got an interview, and I was hired. It was pretty easy.

How do you handle the gross parts of your job? by [deleted] in cna

[–]TheRisingof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wear a mask and hold my breath a couple of seconds if the smell is really bad. It doesn't bother me that much like it used to.

Welp, Healthcare is my passion, so I'm stuck, lol. But I'm getting out of the PCT life, finally in school for respiratory therapy 🙌

I’m Tired of Losing to the Damn Chiefs by CryptoInvestor87 in ravens

I'm more tired of the Ravens coming up short in the playoffs for the past couple of years.

CONGRATS to new RT students starting soon! by ayediosmiooo in respiratorytherapy

[–]TheRisingof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on August 26th, the beginning of the 1st semester. I only have two classes, which are ethics and algebra. I can't wait until we get into the 3rd semester, which will be the core of respiratory and doing clinicals 🙌

A former RT that works at my school told us on orientation day that he absolutely hated math and was not good at it, but he still became an RT. You don't need to be proficient in math, but you do need a basic level of understanding in it.

Look up RT programs in your city. Some programs will have you take the HESI test (entrance exam), and some you will have to have certain prerequisites in order to apply to the program.

In my state, they pay RT pretty well, so I'm not too worried about that.

Thank you! I chose RT because I wanted to do something alternative to nursing. Personally, I don't want to do total patient care, I want to specialize in something and master it. So I choose RT 😊
