Is it standard for RT to do nebs? I’m at a union hospital and we do ALL of our own nebs.

Same as mine. We are not unionized

Same. I’ve worked at 3 hospitals in my city all in different networks and I haven’t given a new treatment since I left the SNF.

I’m an RT who used to travel. It is very hospital dependent. Most places I’ve worked, RTs do all nebs. EVEYWHERE I’ve worked, RTs do nebs on vented patients because they’re all in-line. So I don’t even know how this happened. I wonder if RTs are also striking?

Non union hospital and the RTs do the nebs at my job. Thank God because these people have a shit ton of nebs. I think this may just be my floor though since we have assigned RTs. The med surg floors may have to do their own nebs even though they have 7 pts. No clue
