I search on
Google to find out if there were any blogs on student in RT, or
aspiring RT or RRT and i was amazed at the number of blogs out there. I am not
a professional blogger but i am pretty sure with time i will learn all the
proper syntax.
i have not had the time to read many different RT blogs at this point in time but Rome was not built in one day right !!. pretty much this blog caught my eye i will include the link so that you can read it i when you got time . it's called Respiratory therapy 101: just keep breathing.http://keepbreathing.wordpress.com/ Basically she had this post, dated of 2007 tittled " What do RT really do?'' i got inspired by her intro- not mentioned here
Did you know that
a whole lot of people no clue on the subject " Respiratory therapy",
what that job entails and many more issues about these practice like mistaking
an RT for CNA -.-- my take on it. I totally agree here is my story
i only got to understand who and what RT
do once i started reading about this profession. Guess what!!, it is a whole learning
process though i'm now cultured on the subject matter,I feel like it's
an everlasting learning journey that i am happy to be part of. To be precised almost
4 years ago I had no idea of what an RRT is and what the profession entailed. I
had just began my undergrad degree in Biological science in a small town
university. I dreamt of getting into medical school right after my
degree.. that was my long cherished dream. Big picture i spent
alot of time looking at all different medical school admission couple of med
school in Ontario, Europe and USA but SUNNY upstate in new
York stroke my eye. Then came the CLICK. One day while browsing my
facebook page I got a notification. my friend tagged me on her
status- excited to have finally graduated and better still she
had just been admitted into SUNNY.... i felt so happy and proud of
her. i quickly commented on her wall " Your dream come true. You deserve it, & i will
give an arm to be in your shoe. love always".
Slowly but surely I started looking to their different programs with more seriousness. Knowing how hard it was to get admission into a medical school and seeing my girlfriend getting into one right after her degree motivated me, i now had the certainty our dreams actually come true. while looking at all the different school of in medical institution i came across respiratory therapy (nope its not a medical degree just offered at some medical schools) .
Though at the end of the studies you don’t earn the prestigious MD tittle even if you read the degree at a medical institution. I quickly realized that my passion out shown the joy of baring an MD for an RRT if my dream came true.. honestly the more I read about these profession, I could careless of whether I will be reading this program in a medical school like SUNNY, a college like Michener Institute or a university like SAIT.. What I am certain of right now is screw my long dreamt Seven years of studies all that matter is becoming an RT cause that is the job for me. I voew to actually explain why the change of mind and what caused this click at some point. But for now the lesson learned is. “One dream may lead to another, keep an open mind it’s okay to have a change of heart so long as that makes you happy” Just the taught of becoming an RT someday gives me butterflies in my stomach. Though I am an aspiring RT I shall not trade my dream rather I will chase it..
