    In this episode, we tackle whether pursuing respiratory therapy school still makes sense in 2026 amid steady demand and upcoming certification shifts set for 2027. With hospitals expanding teams for breathing treatments and ventilator management, the field offers reliable opportunities, but choosing the right CoARC-accredited program is key to avoiding extra hurdles. We break down how to compare program lengths, costs, clinical site variety, and exam pass rates while preparing for the updated CRT and RRT sequence that emphasizes real-time decision-making in acute events.

    Key takeaways:
    - Review CoARC data and student feedback on equipment practice versus simulators before applying
    - Weigh general floor roles for steady skill-building against direct ICU paths for faster crisis exposure
    - Career switchers should focus on ventilator alarms, ABG interpretation, hybrid schedules, and state licensure rules

  • Understanding RT Career: Career-Switcher

    Understanding RT Career: Career-Switcher
    2026/07/12
    In this episode, we map out the complete career-switcher route into respiratory therapy, starting with CoARC-accredited programs and moving through the CRT/RRT credentials amid the 2027 exam changes, then tackling the ICU-versus-floor decision and landing that crucial first job. Whether you're pivoting from another healthcare role or starting fresh, this episode clarifies the exact sequence that keeps you moving forward without costly detours.

    Key takeaways:
    - Prioritize CoARC schools for eligibility and clinical variety—check community college options and site rotations early.
    - Prepare for the NBRC shift by reviewing updated content outlines each semester, as programs integrate changes now.
    - Weigh floor roles for steady assessment practice against ICU pacing with vents and blood gases; both paths succeed with strong preceptor support.
    - Tailor applications by matching rotations to shifts, contacting educators beforehand, and asking about orientation length and ratios.

    Mapping these steps upfront reduces surprises and sets realistic expectations from day one.
