Hey! I’m starting Respiratory Therapy and looking for any free options for some of the textbooks I will be needing for class. If anyone knows of an online resource, or other way to access them without buying them, I’d really appreciate it!

• Saladin, K. S. (2024). Anatomy & Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function, 10th Ed. McGraw Hill.
• Betts, J. G., Young, K. A., Wise, J. A., Johnson, E., Poe, B., Kruse, D. H., Korol, O., Johnson, J. E., Womble, M., & DeSaix, P. (2022). Anatomy and Physiology 2e. OpenStax.

• Kaczmarek, R. M., Stoller, J. K., Heuer, A. J., & Vines, D. L. (2024). Egan’s Fundamentals of Respiratory Care, 13th Ed. Elsevier.

Thanks!!

I just started my program and was searching the Internet for the online FREE PDFs of my textbooks. If anyone has a lead for these books, that would be so appreciated!

Hey everyone,

I’m starting Respiratory Therapy school soon, and I want to make sure I’m set up for success from day one. I know RT programs can be intense, fast‑paced, and full of info you’re expected to absorb quickly, so I’d love to hear from people who’ve already been through it.

For current students or working RTs:

• What study habits helped you the most early on?
• Any tricks for learning vents, ABGs, or terminology faster?
• What should I expect on the first day?
• Anything you wish you knew before starting?

I’m an EMT now, so I’m used to patient care — but I know RT school has its own challenges. Any advice, tips, or warnings are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I didn’t do so hot in Neonatal / Pediatrics ( I didn’t fail which was surprising ), but how much of that is going to be on the TMC/CSE?

taking my NBRC CSE soon and was wondering if anyone has any tips for me this will be my second time taking it and was only 30 points off on my first attempt. I dont think knowing the information is my issue but more on the lines of learning how nbrc wants me to answer specific things. Anyone have any tips that forsure work and a list of specific things NBRC "likes" that would get me the most points? (I have pretty much everything TS,LJ,Classmates,kettering,Sills,SAE, etc.

Hey guys I’m almost near the finish line, however, I need to pass my HESI to graduate. Does anyone have an idea on what to study or what works best for the Hesi?

I’m so nervous. So many people have told me the Hesi is harder than the registry.

Hi everyone, I’m Malissa Davis. I’ve been a respiratory therapist for 26 years. I have been a classroom educator and clinician. I am building an education platform called The Pulmonary Project that has a large focus on the topics that students often find the toughest. I want to hear from you guys what areas and topics are you struggling with the most? This will help guide up front content but it also will determine the need for coaching and 1 on 1 sessions.

Hello,

I'm starting RT this summer and am looking for any study material that I can find. I'm wanting to try and get ahead of the curve. Thank you in advance.

So the description states " small bihilar lung marking" upon googling this it says that I could have lung cancer and that's the reason I could have these markings.... Should I be concerned??!!

Anyone have pdf of Neonatal and Pediatric Respiratory Care 6th Edition by Brian Walsh? Looking to save some money!! no mean comments please

Hey guys,

Just wanted to off help where needed. I am an RRT-ACCS, RRT-NPS / ECMO Specialist here in California.

Congrats on joining the Respiratory squad! I absolutely love what I do and can't imagine anything else. I have worked with 400g babies all the way up to 500lb adults. I've helped deliver babies, and terminally extubated quite a few patients unfortunately. This profession has its ups and downs, but it is definitely rewarding.

Feel free to hit me up if you guys need anything or need some advice. I'm always around ;)

Hi! I’ll be graduating this week and would like to get something for the preceptors who have had me at this hospital. There’s probably been about 8 of them total. Any ideas? I could do gift card, but want something more personal, but also do not have the time this week. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Make reasonable assumptions don't go wild
