Hello!
Welcome to my page of Respiratory Care links. I am a Registered
Respiratory Therapist, and an instructor at the Kansas City campus of
Concorde Career College. I also work PRN (quite regularly) at an area
Kansas City hospital.
Below you will find a
plethora of links related to the field of Respiratory Care. I am
placing these here not only for the benefit of my students, but all
RTs, both in the Kansas City area and worldwide.
Enjoy them, and please
feel free to let me know if you find any links that are no longer
working. I will do my best to try and keep the list up-to-date and
current.
Also, if you have a link
(or links) you'd like to contribute, please send me an email. I will
look them over and add them if they are relevant and active.
Paul Arnote, RRT

CEUs
- Free CEUs Online
from Nellcor - there are some free CEUs online, provided by Nellcor.
Just follow the links, register, and complete the program. Just be sure
to print out the certificate when you are finished!
- Free CEUs
from Puritan Bennett - here are some free CEUs online from Puritan
Bennett. In particular, if you have the PB840 training CD, this is where
you will need to go to take the post test. Be sure to print out your
post-test completion certificate when you are finished!
- Free CEUs from
Respironics - here are some free CEUs online, provided by
Respironics. Here you will find 4 different CEU courses online
(currently), covering capnography, ventilator waveforms, non-invasive
ventilation, and respiratory monitoring. Registration is free, and so
are the CEUs! Just be sure to print out the certificate when you are
finished!!
- Dale Medical Products - Dale
Medical, the manufacturer of popular artificial airway securing
devices, offers two free CEUs for RT's. When you get to the site,
click on the "Perspectives" link, then "Respiratory Therapists." You
will be directed to an edition of Perspectives magazine, where you can
download the PDF file containing the magazine contents. Follow the
directions for applying for your CEUs. These CEUs expire December,
2007.
- Attention AARC members! You can earn free CEUs
(usually around 14 a year) by signing up for and watching the LIVE
webcasts! If you watch them live, you earn ONE free CEU.
If you watch them after they are archived, you have to pay. Plus, for
Missouri licensure, watching the LIVE webcasts counts as a live
contact, Category I CEU. Watching them after they are archived counts
only as an online, Category II CEU. Go to the
AARC Website and click on the link for
webcasts.
- Medical
Education Systems - online CEUs!
- Free CEUs from Passy-Muir
- there are 5 free CEUs online from Passy-Muir, the makers of the
versatile trach and ventilator speaking valve. Just click on
"Education," then on "Continuing Education."
- PLEASE ... be aware of the differences in the
acceptance of CEUs between the states of Kansas and Missouri. If you
reside in a different state, please check with your individual
respiratory licensing body/agency/board for specific details.
In Kansas, your license must be renewed annually and you must have
completed 12 CEUs. They may be from any approved source
(all online, all live contact, or a mixture of the two). AARC approved
CEUs are always accepted.
In Missouri, your license must be renewed every two years, and you must
have completed 24 CEUs. Only 12 of those 24 CEUs may be from approved
sources that do not have "live contact" ... that is, CEUs you get online
by reading the material and taking the post test (for example). At least
12 of the 24 CEUs must be what is called "live contact" ... that is,
CEUs from an approved seminar, or from the AARC webcasts (above). Of
course, all 24 CEUs for your Missouri license renewal may be from "live
contact" sources.

you may also change to any state you are interested in to find hospital
web sites and check for job openings. Please be aware that some
hospitals update their web-posted job openings weekly, while others do
so daily. So it pays to keep checking back frequently.
