Learning Pathway
New Graduate RT Pathway
The credential says you’re ready; the first rapid response says otherwise. This pathway sequences the free resources that close that gap for year one — organize the assignment, manage the ventilator, handle the airway and the code, then document it so it holds up.
16 stops · 4 stages · all free
Stage 1 — Organize the shift
Know your role, work the assignment top to bottom, and carry a brain sheet that keeps every patient straight.
Stage 2 — Manage the ventilator
Set it, name the mode, read the numbers, and recognize the alarms before they spiral. Then build the weaning case.
Stage 3 — Airway & emergencies
Bag, suction, and ventilate through the code — and know the deteriorations and drugs that demand action now.
Stage 4 — Document & communicate
Chart it so it holds up, talk to patients and the team well, and use only the abbreviations that pass audit.
Finding your footing?
The next pathway is about depth — critical care and transport, evidence-based practice, and specialty credentials.
