      Entry Level

      "If I'm hired, you'll quickly find that my compassion for others is a great asset to have in this field. From a very young age, I was a caretaker for my siblings and family members. This was one of the deciding factors for me in pursuing a career as a Respiratory Therapist. As a compassionate therapist, I ensure that I show my patients that I am invested in their treatment. By having this investment in every patient, my personal motivation drives me to be the best that I can be every day in this career."

      "I'd say that my best trait for this career has been the fact that I am a very thorough and detail-oriented person in both my personal and professional lives. By being detail-oriented, I ensure that my patient assessments are not overlooked in the care of my patients and that proper documentation is completed in an accurate and timely manner. On top of that, my thoroughness ensures that nothing is missed with each patient that I encounter through my busy days where I am juggling the care of many patients at one time."

      Experienced

      "My interpersonal skills are my number one trait that has made me successful throughout my career. While I do have great technical skills, my ability to work closely and communicate with my teammates, patients, and families set me apart from other RTs in the field. I thrive on the interactions in this job, whether it is working closely with the doctors that are providing care for my patients or educating a patient's family on the treatment that I am providing to their loved one."
