RTCorner.net, the website for
respiratory therapists, by respiratory
therapists! Our site was the
brainchild of my husband, Ken Kane,
R.R.T, with a little help from myself,
Tammy Kane, R.R.T. Ken is not only
an RT, but a self-taught computer
software writer. Ken has created
software for our Respiratory Care
Departments at the University of Texas
Southwestern Medical Center, as well as
several other hospitals in the area. Ken
and I both graduated from Tarrant County
College in Hurst, TX. in 1995 and have
continued to work in the DFW metroplex
since then. I myself taught
beginning and intermediate Respiratory
Care Lab and Clinical for ATI in Dallas,
TX. for a brief period, and now teach
Respiratory Care Lab at Collin County
College . With our combined passion for
learning and teaching, we decided we
wanted a website that would help the
respiratory care student from beginning
to end.
What do we offer? Everything!
People who visit our website will not
only learn what a respiratory therapist
is, but the history of our profession,
and the tools we use. In
addition, respiratory care students will
not only find our site appealing
because of our educational
information, but because we also offer
sources to finding jobs, uniforms, and
stethoscopes! For the
licensed therapist, we offer the latest
news on pulmonary medicine, and
information for online continuing
education. We also offer "tools" to
assist the practitioner on the job.
Speaking of tools, have you looked at
our "Clinical" link? We offer
calculations, assessment tools,
pharmacology information, ABG
diagnostics, EKG reading, breath sounds,
chest x-rays, pulmonary anatomy and
physiology,…the list goes on and is
always growing!
RTCorner.net is dynamic. We have
something new almost everyday.
We also have many people that look at
our website that are not respiratory
therapists! We have x-ray
technicians, physical therapists, speech
therapists, physicians and nurses that
use our website and give us input.
It's been a wonderful experience for
both Ken and I. We have had the
opportunity to meet many knowledgeable
and talented professionals that are as
passionate about medicine as we are, and
it is because of them that RTCorner.net
has become what it is today!
