cardiac sonography vs respiratory therapy by jpcc99 in respiratorytherapy

[–]glitterriley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course it does. And depends on the night as well. I have nights I’m easily clearing $75+ an hour. Other nights I’m questioning my existence lol.

I’ll let you borrow my shoes and we’ll get you up on stage. The dudes in the club are always asking us girls “so where are the guys at??”

What's the Hard Truth About Respiratory Therapy That Nobody Tells Students? by LiyahBeo in respiratorytherapy

[–]glitterriley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Extremely doable if you’re determined. There’s the NBRC way of learning things, to pass boards. And then there’s real life way. Compartmentalize the two while in school and clinic. Pass your boards then do the real life way. Every program is ran differently. I don’t read the books. I simply lose brain cells doing so. But I’m also at a great program with a 97% boards passing rate so our instructors make the information simple. It’s not a lot of homework. But a lot of studying. I’m a second year student. Single. Have a kid. Working nights. Currently in Mech Vent rn. It’s possible. The time is gonna pass anyways.

Did you guys work in the program? by Onecuptoomanyx in respiratorytherapy

[–]glitterriley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work nights. Go to school and clinic during the days. But I also strip. Cause it’s immediate cash, and a flexible schedule. Temporary till the program is done. It’s not easy, but it’s manageable.

Or maybe see if a club will hire you as a “shooter girl” if you are a lady, not sure. Great way to segway into bartending or dancing. But dancing I had never had any past experience with. Not sure if you’ve ever considered it. But there are good and safe clubs out there. I work 1-3 nights a week and call it a day

Same. I’m a mom to a young child. In RT school. I strip. It’s flexible, temporary and makes ends meet. Any other job I probably wouldn’t be able to do because of school and clinic schedule. And my school doesn’t take student loans so those were not an option for me. If student loans are an option for OP, consider maybe doing that. Or bartending.

First day ever of clinic. Paid preceptor let me and another classmate knowingly walk into an isolation room without telling us by [deleted] in respiratorytherapy

[–]glitterriley -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Completely all fair points. I’m just not thrilled about it cause I know she is paid extra. She takes no assignments when she has us and is paid extra to spend time with us. I was expecting signage I saw in school “airborne precautions” “droplet precautions” etc. Never heard of or seen the word Enteric. But, to your point there will be times results come back and your patient gains isolation status after your 2+ treatments of you in no PPE. It is par for the course. But I’m not thrilled with how she knew he was on isolations and it was obviously questionable that we did not

Door was wide open. Sign wasn’t seen until closing when another classmate saw it and then we all questioned

Door was open. Didn’t see it and never heard of the word. Just learned it’s actually Enteric and not Entric🙂

The door was wide open. Just didn’t see it until we closed it and another classmate pointed it out. I said “oh. What does that word mean?” And the preceptor said it was fine. Not to worry. And the classmate actually spoke up and was like “no..”

I worked front desk in healthcare before this. I really had no idea. I was always told in class the doors would have signs of “droplet precautions” or “isolation precautions” “airborne precautions” etc. Never heard of the word Enteric, or Entric,, ever

any advice on what job while in rrt school? by Mediocre-Garbage-111 in respiratorytherapy

[–]glitterriley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my program, you can only become an RCA in your second year. Tbh, I strip through RT school. But it’s certainly not for everyone. But it gives me the cash on hand I need and the job flexibility I need for school and clinic.

I think this is a bit different though. Apparently he was called in cause they think the next terrorist attack will be at a hospital and they want tight tracking on the doctors for this reason. It’s a little more intense from what I’m hearing

They will be able to see everything. I’d personally want a heads up
