A Career As A Respiratory Therapist

Health care administration is a professional challenging environment with some of the most critical issues and problems in our society. Health care administration combines my knowledge and experience in business and health care. My accomplishments are a result of my ability to assess situations, generate a plan of action, and work the plan. Following is my plan of action for my career in health care:

I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada before coming to the University of Nevada, Reno. Before college started, I attended Southwest Career and Technical Academy with the emphasis in Respiratory Therapy Care. During my high school years, I gained knowledge and skills in medicine and have competed in state and national competitions that were related to health care. Besides my academics, I have taken leadership positions as well as doing community services at a local hospital and library once a week for a few years. I

In the rapidly changing healthcare industry, Respiratory therapists and Cardiovascular Technicians are two of many few careers that is rapidly changing and growing in today industries. Depending on the level of these positions they evaluate, diagnoses, treats, and administers care 24 hours, responding to the needs of patients; from newborns to the terminally ill. I will be discussing the both healthcare profession’s job description, working in the field, requirement to obtain degree/license, salary, and other information of about both careers.

Respiratory Therapist (RT) is a career that many people don’t realize exists. People either believe that a RT is either an RN or a Doctor because of their knowledge of the respiratory system. The pay between a RN and RT are almost identical. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics have RT the third best career choice with an associate’s degree, and have the career growing between 18 and 26 percent in the next ten years. Delta College currently has a one year waiting list to get into the respiratory care program (Respiratory care).

I have always been unsure about what my purpose is. With each job, I find myself getting bored and moving on to the next hospital. My thought is that eventually I will discover the missing piece that will keep me motivated and excited. I have been at the VA Black Hills Health Care System for more than 5 years and that is the longest I have worked at any place. Unfortunately, I have stayed here this long because of the long term retirement benefits.

Respiratory care makes a difference. And there are reasons why a Respiratory Therapist would be a great job. A guest speaker came into our class to explain more about the job. He explained education requirements, the job description, and the job opportunities.

My name is Nico Elbert T. Foronda. I'm currently pursuing a bachelors degree in Nursing with a minor in Public Health at Old Dominion University. I served as a Navy Corpsman for five years then separated the military to pursue higher education. A majority of those years I was performing direct patient care for military members and their families which ultimately developed my passion for health care in

When you graduate high school most of us look forward to going to college and starting a new chapter in our lives. There are many choices of fields to choose from when we enter college. Some of us know right from the start what we want to do and some of us don’t. I have had many ideas of what I might want to pick as my career for the rest of my life. It first started out with wanting to be a teacher, and then it changed to a veterinary technician, and finally with lots of thought and research I have decided I want to be a Respiratory Therapist.

Respiratory therapists are specialized healthcare practitioners that care for patients who have trouble breathing due to a multitude of reasons such as asthma, emphysema, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. They practice under and aid physicians in assessing patients, diagnostic evaluations, treatment, prevention, education and general pulmonary care. Respiratory therapists assume primary responsibility for all diagnoses and treatments. Respiratory Therapists discuss and review patients with physicians and other healthcare professional to assist in developing and/or modifying a patients’ care

I graduated from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) in 2008 with an A.A.S. in Respiratory Care. Shortly after graduating, I took the national board exam through the National Board of Respiratory Care (NBRC) to achieve a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) credential. After receiving the RRT credential, I became licensed in the state of New Jersey and New York for employment purposes. An RT plays a huge role in the daily operations of a hospital setting. An RT’s main job responsibilities are to manage ventilators and provide quality care for patients with respiratory complications such as Asthma and C.O.P.D. I am currently pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Applied Science and Technology (BSAST) in Respiratory Care.

My plans are to give back to my community by working as an occupational therapist at our local hospital, the Fairfax Community Hospital. My strengths are definitely housed in my communication skills, and I love being an aid to others. This career will fulfill my desire to encouragingly help individuals gain independence. One day when there was no school I spent my day job shadowing the occupational therapist at the Community Hospital in Fairfax. My interest of becoming an occupational therapist came from my mom. My mother is a nurse at the Family Medical Center in Rock Port, Missouri. My interest has never been medical, but my mother suggested this career for me because of my personality. Being an aid to others is my dream career. Helping one

There are many professions that individuals can seek with a Healthcare Administration degree. Social workers, mental health therapist, case managers and long term facilitators are just some of them. The expectant growth for healthcare occupations from 2014 to 2024 is 19 percent. This is a higher growth rate than with other occupations. With the continued reform to federal health insurance, which makes it easier for people to access insurance and the aging population, this could add 2.3 million jobs.

This is a proposal for my WA4 paper. Although Americans have direct access to health care particularly in Respiratory Therapy, most of the populations is not able to afford the cost to be cared for, prices are dramatically high; therefore, in Respiratory Therapy prices to be cared for need to be reduced tremendously so everyone can breathe right for a lower cost. I am writing about the challenges in the health care career I want to go into. My career is in the medical field is going wanting to become a respiratory therapist. There is one big main challenge that is holding the people back and are having to deal with and that is the high cost of the care. Respiratory costs are sky high, when they should not be. I mean we the people cause bad

It has been a long road getting here; but, I will share the short version. I am from Newport News, Va. In 2009, I graduated with a Bachelors of Art and Science in Biology from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, this was my parent’s degree. Unhappy with the medical

Coming from a modest middle-class Indian family, one of the most important principles instilled in me was “Nothing worth having comes easy.” This was further stressed at school where the motto was “Virtue lies in hardship.” These principles have kept me in good stead throughout my medical training and continue to drive me in my future endeavors.
