PINOY RT NEEDS JOB.

Hi all,

I was considering SJVC and I noticed on this forum there was a website for practice testing posted. So I looked over the practice tests and came across the math portions. Yikes I haven't taken math in so long that I've forgotten how to solve the different equations that were there for practice. My question is: if you do horribly in the math section will sjvc still let you enroll in their RT program? Please let me know. I've been out of school for a while now and was interested in enrolling but I'd hate to fail the math section and not get in.
Thanks in advance

I am starting (Luzerne county community college in PA) RT program in the fall, does anyone have advice for me or good thoughts about that college?

Wendy in Sacramento, California said: 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.

Do they accept international students in Rancho Cordova?

Hello there people, I am a CRT for over 15 years and Know Respiratory Care by heart, Home Care or Hospital, I used to work for placement agency since mid 90's for more money and flexibility that works well with me and my wife and kids but those companies
(X2) retired and I start to work for Mercy Home Care in 97 and love doing Home Care as get to take care of COPD's, and all types of RT pt from new born to adult better as Pulmonologist know what they're doing, so with the neonatologist and other Md's and not so much RRT feeling incompetent around but company also retired. I again work for another DME company name AHS or At Home Medical from 2000 to June 2006, But after car accident almost got hit head-on went on temp.disability for 3 mos. and when coming back the director for the last 3 years who initially when got there brouth w/ her 5 people she know from her previous employer and afterwards still hired more RT's, and did not take me back as She already hired some more RT. I was move by my wife to NC and also work for a DME company but got discriminated and told me that the RRT are feeling incompetent around me and terminated me. Since then I can not find another job. May I know which state will RRT work side by side with me as CRT and will not feel incompetent and I will apply for a license and work over there. I used to be eligible for registry but did not feel a need to be RRT and when I will take the exam in 2004 after taking kettering seminar review NBRC did not let me take the exam as I was told only they have a problem with the archive then, and later I was told only have 57 credits to their record. I am CRT and need work as I do RT work well and feel I'm the best in home care job.

Useful things.

typing error one word above- brought not brouth.
when I said she brought w/ her several people in her first few months at work.

Enjoy upgrading your skills to RRT or become extinct. Your choice. Your better than attitude certainly isn't helping your case I'm sure. "the RRT are feeling incompetent around me and terminated me" Give me a fvcking break. LMFAO.

I wish you are somewhere where I can talk to you regarding Respiratory Care, so I could see if you know COPD patients condition as some RRT make them worst as for example in Bergen County New Jersey this is not too long ago an RRT from American Home Patient went back to Lincare as an Allendale RT manager, I was ask to follow up on one of his COPD patient he set up on O2 Friday and have me follow up on Saturday as patient coming home Saturday, I have a written order from Md for 3lpm NC but upon HV pt. just got home almost an hour ago and using 5lpm O2 concentrator and set above 5lpm or flush and patient told me that He was told by that RRT RT manager who set him up on O2 that he needs a minimum of 5lpm while He have the order for 3lpm attached with ABG also, so I told the patient just follow what Md order of 3lpm NC as it's what the Md order as I already assesst and see on my pulse oximeter also. This is one example.I left that patient home having him on 3lpm NC as order by MD.

Correction above,as this is what I actualy corrected the above response but it went without the correction. I wish you are somewhere where I can talk to you regarding Respiratory Care, so I could see if you know COPD condition as I think probably some RRT is thinking of the normal ABG results and normal pulse oximetry and they want to see the same O2 Saturation with a patient who have moderate to severe COPD.For example not too long ago sometimes in July to October 2007 an RRT RT from American home patient company went back to Lincare as Lincare Allendale RT manager. I was ask to follow up on one of his COPD patient he set up on O2 at the hospital Friday and patient coming home Saturday and for me to see thta patient Saturday, OK I have a written order from MD for 3lpm NC. Upon HV found patient on a 5lpm O2 concentrator using it a little bit above 5lpm and patient told me that He was told by that RRT RT manager who set him up on O2 in the hospital Friday that he needs a minimum of 5lpm NC who also have the order from MD for 3lpm NC attached with ABG results of pt. on 3lpm NC. I told the patient that just follow what MD says and order which is 3 lpm NC, I assesst that patient with my pulse oximeter at 5 and 3lpm NC and put it on 3lpm NC as order by MD. I recommended for patient to follow up with MD and just follow what MD says, and the order this time is 3lpm NC attached with ABG results of pt.on 3lpm NC. I left that patient on what MD order of 3lpm NC, and on monday discuss it with Mr.RRT.OK as I'm working in another branch.

OK another example is not too long ago, an RRT regional RT manager actually told me that I'm making the RRT and the center manager RRT around me feel incompetent and this is just in 2009. I don't want to elaborate anymore but basically I am only trying to help them and our patients as if I see anything that might help on patients and the company and the team I will discuss it with them. For example Pt. that they have me to follow up, but they are the one that actually set up and been seeing the patient before they start to have trouble with it. For example they are trying to make the circuit on LTV 950 longer by adding several more lenght of corrugated tubing but that's not appropriate as they can not make the proximal sensor lines and expiratory line any longer so what do you think happened they just have the corrugated tubing coiling on the floor. Also like for example a six years old patient vent sensitivity is on neg.1 since six years years ago and the patient have some heart problem initially I will only ask if what do they think of trying sensitivity on negative 2. For example also I see many COPD patients on Bipap ST Resmed with O2 since the doctor order set a rate of 14 they end up setting it on one over one (1/1) I:E ratio. I always just trying to help that's why I will discuss their patient with them only if they have me follow up on them.

If you feel that you cannot maintain your high level of standard care due to management that will not give you a good explaination as to why they are doing what they are doing you need to find another job

Is it me or does O2CO2care seem to be a little off. The language used seems like he is either from a different land and learning the english language or was hit in the head and is now a little slow. You may be a good home care CRT but your attitude is pompus and needs fixing. RRT's are the standard and I think you should suck it up and become registered.

Again, get over yourself supertherapist o2co2care. Perhaps attaining your RRT is so beyond you at this point that you should just go to PA school where you can wow others with your self-importance and mad skills. You certainly aren't impressing your peers with your attitude or your writing skills.

anybody have anymore information on SJVC rancho cordova??
