Meet Carlos, one of the contestants taking on The Shift.
What happens when you take the excitement of a reality competition show and bring it into respiratory care? For Carlos, that’s exactly what made The Shift stand out.
Challenges. Competition. Respiratory care. And the chance to be part of something completely different.
When the opportunity came up, his thought was simple: Why not?
Get to know Carlos as we get ready to see what he brings to The Shift.

Meet Christian, one of the contestants taking on The Shift.
There’s one area he’s hoping the competition puts to the test: NICU troubleshooting.
And when your professor specializes in neonatal and pediatric care, there’s a little extra pressure to make sure you get anything involving babies right.
If those questions come up, Christian better be ready. Big Mike is watching.
Get to know Christian as we get ready to see what he brings to The Shift.

Did I check the wrong box... or was my Creator protecting me from the path I thought I wanted—and leading me toward the calling I was actually meant for?

What started as a career I never expected became a passion for critical care, education, leadership, and respiratory therapy.

Looking back, maybe I didn’t take a wrong turn.
Maybe I was exactly where I needed to be.
This is a little more of my journey to becoming JJtheRT.
And honestly… I’m still figuring out where He’s taking me next.

⚾️ From baseball to respiratory therapy… 🫁

RT wasn’t always the plan.

I started out chasing a different dream, but somewhere along the way I found respiratory therapy—and it completely changed the direction of my life.

What started as a career choice became a passion for critical care, education, leadership, and helping the next generation of RTs find their place in healthcare.

The crazy part?

I had no idea where this road would take me.

From the bedside… to the classroom… to leadership… to JJtheRT.

This is a little more of my story.

And I’m just getting started.

🫁 “All they do is oxygenate and ventilate… how hard can that be?”

On the surface? Sounds simple.
In reality? You’re managing life support.

Dialing in oxygen when too much or too little can cause harm.
Managing ventilators that can save a life… or damage lungs if you get it wrong.
Making real-time decisions when a patient is crashing and there’s no pause button.

It’s not just oxygen. It’s not just vents.

It’s physiology, pressure, timing, and critical thinking—every single breath.

Simple? Not even close.

🫁 Let’s clear something up…
Respiratory Therapists aren’t just “oxygen people.”
We manage vents. We assist in life support. We make decisions when seconds matter.
Previously on Voices of Vital Care Episode 23... I break down what we really do, why this career hits different, and why right now might be the best time to step into respiratory care.
If you’ve ever thought about getting beyond the bedside… or leveling up how you think as a clinician — this one’s for you.

Happy Birthday to my wife.

I don’t always express my affections out loud, but I’m really thankful for you. For how you show up, for how you love, and for who you are when nobody’s watching.

Life isn’t always slow or easy, but getting to do it with you makes it better.

I love you. Hope you feel celebrated today.
