Respiratory Therapy a Respiratory Therapist Is Someone

Respiratory Therapy A respiratory therapist is someone who literally has the life of her patients in her hands. I have been fortunate this semester in being able to talk with people who chose this career. I even spent some time shadowing them at their job.

Now that I have talked with respiratory therapists and seen them at work, I am more certain than ever that this is the right path for me.

I will learn about each patient and get to know him or her. I have enjoyed my science classes so far.
