The Respiratory Resolution
Since my last blog post, I've been very pleasantly surprised at the amount of people reaching out to me for advice and thoughts on the respiratory profession!
People seem to share a lot of the same concerns, and I felt like we needed a refuge for these people; a place where students can gather and work through this oftentimes very difficult career.
So, here we are: with my new blog and a brand new Student Center!
The classroom setting can often times be stressful and bits of knowledge fall through the cracks. It's a perfectly normal and common thing, experienced by everyone at one point or another. One of the first things I am venturing to do is write a new series entitled "Respiratory Made Easy." Don't let the title fool you, the column will not be magic. You may not automatically understand the great mysteries of the respiratory world by reading it. The blog will, however, endeavor to take some difficult aspects of our profession and break them down to an easier-to-understand level.
In the comments section below, you can post questions, thoughts, or maybe even an easier way to go about that week's subject. The idea is that it is an open forum for you students to get help; a place where you can take a deep breathe, and sort through all of the mounds of information thrown at you on a daily basis.
Much like in my last blog The (Respiratory) Graduate, I will continue to center on giving advice. I encourage anyone who has a question, concern, thought, idea, etc. to email me at beejayss07@gmail.com...and your email will be addressed.
I will be posting some of these correspondences in the new blog. Who knows, maybe your question is the same question someone across the county has. Maybe your concerns are shared by somebody 2 miles away or 200 miles away.
If you are a student and stumble across this, by all mean, please pass it along to your fellow peers. If you're a teacher reading this, pass it along to your class. The idea is to create a community of SRT's and get them to becoming RRT's!
So, I hope you all enjoy the changes being made, and will continue to support ADVANCE and our new Student Center!
Take Care,
B.J. Smith
