      Entry Level

      "From my clinicals, I learned that time management and being organized is a huge part of this job with the number of patients that I will be treating daily. Having worked in a fast-paced environment as a waitress, I utilize technology to help me stay on task and on time while still providing great service. I believe these skills will translate well to my new career as a Respiratory Therapist."

      Experienced

      "Throughout my career, the expectations on Respiratory Therapists have changed greatly regarding the number of patients we see each shift. I've been able to adapt to these changes with ease by staying focused on the care of patients and not being influenced by outside distractions. With the advent of the EMR systems, email, and instant messaging, I've been able to utilize these functions to help care for my patients more efficiently while also improving my one on one care with them."
