PINOY RT NEEDS JOB.

i would check California college of health science. Located in San Diego, California. I believe you can do some stuff on line and its cheap.
Are you really located in Saudi Arabia? I am considering working there and would love to chat with you to find out all the details. Please email me.

please email me at etch-a@yahoo.com i can give you info you need and i have questions about working as an RT in Saudi Arabia

can you email me directly at my screen name so everything is not posted on here? Just wondering.
As far as your current job---I was under the impression that the salaries were outrageous and tax free.
You might want to check out the community college in philadelphia,PA. They have a very nice RRT program that is cheap. And philadelphia has so many hospitals to work at once you graduate.
Please email me at etch_a@yahoo.com to an email address we can correspond to each other in a more private venue.
Thanks

CCHS is now called Independence University. They still do distance learning RT education, but the price has skyrocketed since this new company (independence University) has taken over. San Joaquin Valley College (SJVConline.edu) also has some online RT programs (CRT to RRT). I hear they are very expensive (15k-20k for CRT to RRT).

I am currently a student at San Joaquin Valley College in Rancho Cordova California. It is an expensive course to take ($26 thousand), but well worth the money. The course is 18 months, but you really know your stuff when youre done. All the people I talk to at different hospitals have nothing but great things to say about the students that come thru for their hospitals for clinical rotations.

I have tried to work in the USA but the Immigration process is very difficult and that the RT profession is not on the list of priority jobs unlike nursing an it can take a long time as they have to advertise the job for 6 months so as to find a US citizen to apply for an RT job and they will usually get the job also lawyer fees can be costly

Hi Wendy, is the program you are taking at San Joaquin Valley College for RT or is it if you already have another certification first? Is it all inclusive?

I contacted Concorde and they were asking $37,000 for their 18 month RT program.

Thanks in advance!

Yes the program there is for RT. There are other programs there as well, such as medical assisting and pharmacy tech, but the RT is the best. It is about 26,000 and is 18 months. I go to the Rancho Cordova campus but there is also a campus in Visalia Ca

The 26 grand is all inclusive. It covers pretty much everything but your scrubs.The teachers at the Rancho Cordova campus are great. Very understanding and patient. I was 40 when I started this and it was hard for me to have to go back to school, but the teachers dont let you give up.I really cant say enough nice things about the place.

well i m looking for a respiratory therapy position anywhere in USA, its hard to find a job for a new graduate like me, if anybody can help me finding a job would be great, i m a CRT and registry eligible. my e mail is rahim400@hotmail.com.

I signed up at Concorde for $28k I think. Can check if needed. NOT $37k though. What area?

I called the location in North Hollywood. When are you starting and at which campus?

SJVC is all inclusive. I hadnt been back to school since High School so it was kinda hard getting back into Chemistry and things like that, but it is a great program. It is 26K and 18 months.

Just waiting for the approval to employ if you anyone that U know are interested please email me at ronald-1951@hotmail.co.uk and attach your CV.

I am currently a respiratory therapy student in CCSD. Here's some info site that can help you out. It is a great program and highly recommendable where they offer a fast track medical program. They have a 19 months day time, expect 14 m0nth of didactic classes 8:30 to 2pm, Monday to Thursday and 12 hours clinical rotation a day for 3 days with 4 hours class meeting (total of 40 hrs/week)for 5 month rotation. It is an Accelerated degree program. They also offer 22 months for night classes. Plus, they also offer
Bachelor degress... Check it out now... www.cc-sd.edu/medical.cfm

Hi, Rachelle

Im so glad I read your comment. Please tell me how do you really feel about CCSD is it really worth $30k. How long have you been there?Im trying to make my mind up between Pima Medical,CCSD, or Grossmont,and Im a little nervous about the amount of the loan,Please respond to me with your opinions and answers, thanks.

I signed up in 2006 for 36k plus minus the pell grant, 19 months Day time R.T. (A.S.Degree).I am currently on my 3rd clinical rotation and have 2 more clinical rotation to go. I can surely say that I have learned so much within the months of learning with CCSD. Truthfully, there were days of speculation and expectation that was ahead of us. But having an experience in class with my colleagues and instructors who had helped boost and encouraged us to hang on and appreciate every new changes within the curriculum. I can say,that I had a great experience in discovering new techniques from my clinical instructors from different hospitals that they have assigned me. And hoping to apply it within my own someday. We were fortunate to have a prestigious instructors who have helped and guide us in every courses that we have taken. Lately,CCSD are starting to have an hybrid classes. In which we have a didactic class for 3 days in class and one day off for online classes within our own time to meet our conveniences. I have also heard some good recommendation from Grossmont College, but from what I have heard,CCSD offers more hours of clinical rotation vs. other colleges.Now, I have 2 more months to finish up my clinical rotation and hoping for the best. It wont hurt to inquire in every College thats offering Respiratory Therapy. Im hoping someday to continue my education for a bachelor degree and thats one thing that gives an advantage about CCSD, They are offering Bachelor Degree for 8 months only. But for now, I am concentration in finishing up my A.S.Degree and passing the CRT and hoping RT exam in the near future. Remember, No matter what college youll choose.It is still up to you if youll take the initiative in giving your extra time to learn and read all the information, Take advantage of it. Once you sign up for it, Give all your time and effort and youll know that you had made a difference in your life.Its not easy but its a chance worth taking for.

Hi Rochelle

I just want to say thanks for taking the time out to respond to my questions,It helped me out alot to make a easier decision about the college. Good luck finishing up the program.

You are very welcome Ibowknee!!! I hope the information that I have provided was helpful. Good luck with your decision too. Take care!

hello wendy, can you tell me the hours you are in school and how many hours a day do you spend studying. I am interested in attending sjvc in rancho cordova, do you know when the next program starts? Thanks for any info.

Hi Andie,

Once you start your clinicals, you will be there 2 days a week,Monday and Tuesday, 12.5 hours each day with alternating tuesdays off. Then class is Wednesday and Thursday from 8-5 and Fridays 9-12. I usually study about 2 hours a night during the week and save the weekends for the projects that are due in class that take more time. Im not sure when the next class starts. I know they had one start recently so it may be a few months. It really is a great program. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Wendy, Thank you for your quick response. I am going to call and make an appt. with an advisor. It is nice to hear from someone that is attending the school. Did you have to take a entrance exam? Thanks..........andie

Use this link to help you if there is an entrance exam.

Yes there were several tests that have to be taken such as science. Once you go the the school for your appt they will take you on a tour of the school. Think you will like it. Let me know if you have any other questions.

thank you ron!!!!!!!!!

wendy, i truly appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. my appt. is tomorrow at 1p and i am very excited. i will let you know how it goes. thanks again.......andie

Youre very welcome Andie. Hope you enjoy the tour of the school. I will be on my lunch break in the student lounge between 1230-130. I will keep an eye out for a new student looking around and say hi if I see you.

"thank you ron!!!!!!!!!"

You're welcome. It helped me find my strong points and weak points.

I just saw this messages and kinda wonderin if the position for RT is still open ? Im in Florida right now but willing to relocate. My email add is: artney_777@yahoo.com. thanks

Wendy,
So I went to my appt. yesterday and unfortunately I didn't see laura until 1:45, therefore I was sitting in the lounge still waiting at that time. Don't get me wrong I didn't mind the wait because I was able to observe how sjvc staff conducts themselves. The atmosphere was much more professional and very conducive to learning. A much better vibe than from wcc on folsom. I found that the next class starts in march but I may start in may b/c I already have most of my prereqs out of the way. I am going to turn in my paper work asap, since it is on a first come first serve basis. I take my tests tuesday at 12:30p so wish me luck. By the way I would love to see you to thank you personally. I am a black female in my late 30's (40 is knocking on my door) and I could lose some weight. I wear glasses and I am almost always in jeans. With this description you may think that I am a dork but I am and will always be a cute girl.lol....andie

Hi Andie,

I did get to see you for a brief moment when you came in yesterday. Too bad we didnt have a chance to talk. If I would have know you were waiting that long for Laura I wouldv'e stayed to talk to you. Did you get to take a tour? Anyways, glad you liked the school. Im sure you will enjoy the course as it is very well put together. Here is my email if you have any other questions or need help with anything once you start.wrb916@yahoo.com
I still have all my notes etc from way back when if you may need them youre free to look them over. As far as you being close to 40, I had just turned 40 when I started and will be 42 in July. I am the oldest person in the class!!

Don't feel bad. <-----37

Wendy,
Was that you standing at the counter talking to the receptionists? If so I thought for some reason you were the person I talked to on the phone to answer some questions before I went to my appt. Now I am making the connection b/c I heard you say your name was wendy. I did not put it together at that time. Now, if that wasn't you I really feel stupid....lol......andie

No need to feel stupid!! Yes that was me. I had gone to the receptionist to see if you had come in yet so I could introduce myself to you.

I go to UT-in Brownsville. Tuition is way cheaper here! First semester 1100 w/ books. Fall semester just cost me 1058.oo including some required immunizations.
Spring Sememester 1600.00 plus 150.00 in books, and 40 for scrubs I got the expensive greys anatomy. 2 yrs (u can start work in your second semester as a student) Great weather n realy no winter. Beach and mexico withing 30 min.

Hi Ron-

Yes SJVC offers several classes and they are all inclusive. It is 26K and I didnt have to have any other kind of certificate prior to enrolling. In fact this is the first time I have been back to school since high school ( Im 41) . I think the website is www.sjvc.edu Hope that answers your questions. If not let me know.

Hi Ron,
its andie and I was at sjvc in rancho cordova last week and wendy is 100% right. It is 26k, I am looking at my paperwork right now. They will even fiance a loan for you if you need it at 10% int rate. They don't do a credit check for the loan it is the int rate and 36 months to pay it back. It will work out great for me b/c my credit is screwed!!!!!!!! I must say that I am pretty impressed with sjvc so far. Hope my little input helps.

Hi Wendy,

I ended enrolling in Concorde. Passed both my tests and start March'08 :-). I know the feeling, I am 37 and no school since I was in high school.

I really can spell. FINANCE!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Andie,

Price tag was $30k @ Concorde. $5,000 down, $16k in FS loans, FPG loan $8600 Balance during school is $1k. Then I would owe the FS loan ($16k) after school. So, total was $22k for school. Cheaper I guess right? Wife went to Concorde for her LVN and really liked it. I see how she gets a job really easy from going there.

Thanks for input!

hahahaha :-) I do typos all the time. I type to fast at times.
