  1. Just a little background I’ve been an RRT for almost 4 years now. The last 2 in critical care. I considered getting a bachelors and shooting for PA school or ECMO/perfusionist but it’s not really my cup of tea. I decided to go to nursing school because I want to care for the whole patient not just respiratory. For those of you that have taught RTs in nursing school do think that my RT background will help me or will it hinder me?

Do you think that my RT background will help me or will it hinder me. How did the clinicals differentiate? TIA!
  3. I’m an EMT and just started nursing school. My partner just started respiratory school. We were talking and now I’m genuinely curious how long the respiratory system would be covered in nursing school. Obviously RTs are the specialists in respiratory, airway, vents, etc. But as an ER, ICU, or PACU nurse I would have to have an idea of such things. How in depth and for how long did your program cover the respiratory system?
