Respiratory Therapist Position

Since my coursework has ended, I have continued to volunteer at an urgent care clinic, while also looking for work. I am hoping to find a job position at one of the many hospitals in Oklahoma City or with a research team at the University of Oklahoma. Depending on financial standing, I may also enroll in one class in the fall semester to stay fresh academically and build upon existing knowledge.

Even though it has only been two weeks since the program has officially started, I feel as if I have learned so much already. In the first week I learned how to do a chest x-ray and the different projections with just one procedure. I did not anticipate learning this so quickly. By the end of week two I knew so much more. I went to my clinical site for the first time where I picked up on how things were done. Working with patients is a lot easier than I thought it would be, unless you get a patient who is rather complicated. While talking with the patients, the conversations became more natural as I got comfortable with being in the hospital atmosphere. Since I have never worked in a hospital before my expectations were still unknown. While I know this is common, I did not expect to see patients so young coming in for x-rays, as well as patients who were so confused they did not know how long they had been there. A few short term goals of mine are to work on conversation with my patients, not be so nervous about the procedures I am giving, study every day in order to make good grades, and always keep a positive attitude even if things do not go as planned. Some of my long-term goals are to graduate, get a job after graduation either at my home site hospital or a hospital nearby, and further my education by specializing in CT, sonography, or nuclear medicine.

My passion for medicine is something deeper than a mere interest in learning the extraordinary functions of the human body. I am completely fascinated to learn gross anatomy, histology, pathology, and the complete medical school curriculum. However, I am more captivated by how the knowledge I will gain in medical school will allow me to perform the lifesaving procedures that physicians are able execute. Although, medicine is not always ideally as I have written, I believe that as a physician I would use my knowledge and my experiences to provide the best holistic care to my patients. My culture, my experiences, and my education will bring a different perspective to the medical field. I aspire to have the ability and knowledge to save a child that might not live, to save a woman that suffers a heart stroke, and to even provide the necessary treatment for a child with a mere cold. Additionally, participating in the Loma Linda Gateway to the Health

I was a patient of yours at South County Pediatrics for many years and am interested in shadowing you for a few weeks this summer. This past year, I completed my freshman year at the University of Arizona as a Physiology Major with a minor in Public Health. In the future, I aspire to go to medical school to become a physician or surgeon.

When patients experience difficulty in breathing and need assistance, who would be there running to save them? Who’s got their back? Well, it’s none other than the mighty health care professionals who has the so-called Indian name: RUNS WITH AMBU BAG  or better known as respiratory therapists. It may sound funny but it’s true. These individuals are always ready when emergency situations arise.

As a student, I strive for excellence in my academics and school involvement to pursue a career in the medical field. By taking rigorous high school classes such as IB, and honor courses,

The average day of a respiratory therapist can be very stressful. When Melissa goes into work she never knows what “she maybe walking into,” it can be a code in the er to a newborn being born in nursery. This is what makes my job so interesting said melissa. Melissa attended college at the University of Indiana where she was born and raised. She decided to go to this college with a couple of her close high school friends. After she had graduated she moved to Illinois because her parents had moved while she was in college to be closer to family. Melissa decided to find a job close to her parents. She applied at the hospital and got a call back within a couple weeks to come in for an interview. The interview went great she said and then a week later she accepted her first respiratory therapist job.According to www.learn.org the job growth rate is expected to increase 19% between 2012 to 2022. Melissa says she has already seen this growth rate increase within her hospital and around the area needing more therapist.

I have not yet had the privilege of working in the medical field. My work experience

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

I am a Respiratory Therapist completing my Bachelor's degree in Health Sciences. I recently graduated in May with my Associates in Respiratory Care and passed both of my National Boards. I will be working at Mizzou's University Hospital in Columbia, MO starting June 12th, 2017. My end goal is to be able to be a Critical Care Flight Respiratory Therapist and then become a professor for a Respiratory Care program after gaining years of experience.

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.

I first became interested in Respiratory Therapy when I was in my Introduction to Health Professions Class. The presentation caught my attention immediately and I had no idea there was a specific profession for respiratory therapy. One of the things that helped me confirm that I was interested was when I heard that there is a respiratory therapist on every transport team and that respiratory therapist work in trauma and emergency situations.

I have wanted to be a part of the health field and work in medicine since I was a little girl in elementary school. That is when I grasped my awareness of the many health issues my dad deals with on a daily basis such as his type 1 brittle diabetes, asthma, Parkinson’s Disease, and cerebral palsy on his right side of his body. With all these conditions came a lot of close calls, doctor visits, and medications. This involvement in watching after my dad ever since I was young has led to a passion in working in health. As I grew older, my strong points have been in the math and sciences, as well as illustrations, which further encouraged me to use my talents in this particular field. I want to be someone who impacts a person’s life for the better and become a role model

I started my education by pursuing my associate’s degree in liberal arts and science, which I will attain in May. During these two years, I took a wide variety of health-related classes from bioethics to anatomy and physiology. I was also able to partake in research at Mayo Clinic. These experiences will better equip me while I make the transition to nursing and getting my bachelor’s in health science. Additionally,

I am responding to the position of Respiratory Therapist listed on the Medicine Medical Center’s website. I recently graduated from Lungston University with a degree in Advanced Respiratory Therapy. As part of my education I did clinical rotations at all hospitals in your area. Not only did I have the best educational experience, but was impressed at the state of cutting edge technology, vast medical knowledge of the staff and superior leadership found at Medicine Medical Center. When I was in my late teens I was hospitalized with a severe case of pneumonia. It was the care I received from the Respiratory Therapists which moved me the most and spurred my interest in the field. The therapists explained to me what each procedure they performed
