Respiratory Therapy Personal Statement

I can best describe myself as an enthusiastic, caring and motivated individual and I believe these traits make me an ideal candidate to study Respiratory Therapy at Skyline College. Also, I have experience, drive, and ambition to succeed in this program and becoming a successful Respiratory Therapist. Before exploring the respiratory therapy program, I have received my bachelor degree in Business Administration at Sacramento State University and this is why I know I can successfully complete the Respiratory Therapy program at Skyline College. One of my greatest strengths is my interpersonal skills.

My true passion for helping others begins with my mother. My mother, Carla worked for Gallipolis Developmental Center for many years as a nursing assistant. Unfortunately, she sustained a severe back injury that ended her career. In 2006, she was rushed into emergency back surgery after several herniated discs ruptured. This left her with severe back pain that she will suffer with for the rest of her life. As a result, I learned to care and to have compassion for those in need. My passion to work in pediatrics stems from my experience of being an aunt. I became an aunt at the age of four and I am now an aunt to six beautiful,

I think respiratory therapist would be good job for me, as I think I would be good for this major as well. I am everything that is necessary of this field, persistent, hardworking willing, and wanting to learn, and wants to improve further in respiratory therapist. The spirit and power it takes to work in medical field I have that, but along with what I was convey to be and want to do make me even more of a positive element to the field.

I was always passionate about becoming a healthcare professional because of the role healthcare professional play in improving the lives of people. As most, if not all of body functions revolve around the respiratory process, respiratory therapy was the occupation, within the healthcare field I have been professing for over a decade now. My choice to be a respiratory therapist helps fortify my burning desire to contribute in making a difference in the life of the people with whom I come in contact. The learning spectrum in the respiratory therapy occupation varies from interpersonal communication, as well as, peer coaching. While I have acquired a strong level of skill set to excel as a respiratory therapist and as an undergraduate in Bioinformatics,

I learned that as a RT you have to always be on your feet. The job also requires many skills such as patience, being able to work under stressful conditions, and also working with new equipment. Another thing I learned is that our patients range from premature infants to elderly patients.The lady I shadowed provided me with loads of information in regards to the field. She also showed me what went down in an Intensive Care unit. In the ICU rooms many of the patients were attached to nebulizers and different forms of breathing treatments. The take home message I received from my tour is that as a Respiratory Therapist , we will be working alongside others in various facilities and using different equipment to provide our patient with the help they need to breathe better. Just knowing that I will be making a change in someone's life motivates me to work harder in reaching my goal of becoming a Respiratory Therapist. I encourage everyone (If you have not done so) to schedule a shadowing tour as soon as you can! Trust me, You will be glad you did! I look forward to hearing from all of

However, to hold respiratory therapist to a high standard and to strive to professionalism managers need to adjust to the new changes. New guidelines are moving towards having a bachelor’s degree by 2015 to 2020. Managers will be facing challenges trying to balance the need within the organization and staff. They will have to seek opportunities to keep informed changes that will happen, as respiratory therapists roles have been expanding. The leadership have to support their staff so, managers will have to engage workers and finding innovative solutions and provide training and competency. Documentation needed to assure safe and effective for staff expanding roles and new responsibilities.

Do you know what it take to be a respiratory therapist? At first you may think that it will take a lot of work, but just like anything else it does. First you have all the schooling and you have to at least an associate’s degree, or if you wish to go further you can get your bachelor’s degree. The you either have to become a CRT, certified respiratory therapist, or a RRT, registered respiratory therapist. The only difference between the two is a CRT is the first level offered by the board of respiratory care and a RRT requires more education and professional experience. Respiratory therapist check on several different machines and analyze certain test, also they help anyone with breathing, sleeping, and cardiovascular disorders.

Finally I discovered the field of respiratory therapy that seemed to be similar to a RN but had its own main purpose with a wide range of options to

Respiratory Therapy will change the future. There are so many things that respiratory therapists perform that people don’t even know about. A huge job for a respiratory therapist is helping patients with cystic fibrosis. This is an incurable disease, but as we further research and learn better ways to help these patients, we as respiratory therapists can definitely prolong their lives and make them as close to normal as possible. Another way we will change the future is by saving lives. There are so many lives that we can save that could lead to incredible things in this world that wouldn’t be accomplished without us saving that life. Another great advancement with respiratory therapy will be the technology we use. As we get more advanced in

There’re numerous of different specialties you can do as a Respiratory Therapist. One specialty that I’d probably would enjoy more is at the Neonatal-pediatrics, just because since I just recently had my son I’ve grown to love kids a lot more. Pediatric RTs work with different types of children including breathing treatments, cystic fibrosis, kids with asthma, and a range of other respiratory problems that they deal with children. Helping premature babies to toddlers would be a challenging task at first for me but I know through the years of experience I would learn to grow with them and treat every single one as If they were one of my own. A Neonatal-pediatric therapist holds a Certified Registered Therapist credentials and many therapists

Respiratory therapists are health care providers who specialize in treating diseases and disorders of the respiratory system. Respiratory therapists contribute to the care of patients by providing specialized therapies designed to aid in and improve ventilation, and thereby, oxygenation of the body’s cells and tissues. As many respiratory complications benefit from standardized therapies, it is often beneficial for respiratory therapist driven protocols to be implemented in health care facilities to assure appropriate therapy is delivered to all patients.

Helping people is the main reason why I want to be a respiratory care therapist. I have a calling for helping others and love for people. I will be volunteering at Dell Children’s Hospital for six months, as pediatrics is my main focus. There is no other line of work that calls me like the health care field does. I want to help those that don’t have a voice like Spanish speakers who dread going to the hospitals because they don’t speak the language. I saw my mom struggle all the time and I hope to help all kinds of people and touch many

Everyone in this world has at least one person that inspires them to take their big dreams and turn them into reality. To me, inspiring means to mentally fill someone with the urge or ability to do or feel something. The person who inspired me to go into the fashion industry is Sasha Charnin Morrison, who is currently the fashion editor of US Weekly. Despite the horrible rough patches of trying to be successful in the fashion industry, she did not let that get to her. Instead, she grew from it. She took each and every experience that was given to her, and turned it into a positive life lesson, which has helped her obtain the knowledge and the position she is in today.

I chose respiratory therapy today because this week we started a unit on it. The respiratory therapists that I got was really good at explaining what he was doing and why. His patient was an incomplete quadriplegic who had vocal cord paralysis. He had a temporary tracheostomy and they were thinking of doing it long-term. They were also thinking of installing a PEG feeding tube. I learned that both a tracheostomy and PEG are reversible. The patient had actually previously had a tracheostomy, but he had gotten it reversed. The therapist also taught me about arteries when he did an arterial blood gas. He told me that arteries contain oxygenated blood which is a lighter red than blood that comes from veins. He was really informative and I was grateful

I often get asked the question of what is a Respiratory Therapist. In short, we are trained professionals who provide therapeutic modalities to patients suffering from pulmonary diseases. Seven years ago, I made a decision to pursue a career in Respiratory Therapy. I was attending college at the University of Louisiana in Monroe (ULM), but had no knowledge of what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. It seemed all of my friends and fellow peers had their minds made up except for me. I chose to move back closer to home where I participated in a job shadowing activity. This enabled me to view many different options in the healthcare industry. To my surprise, I found myself to be most interested in the respiratory profession. I did a little research and found a Respiratory Degree Program at Louisiana State University in Eunice (LSUE). To be eligible for certification, a student must graduate with an associate or bachelor’s degree from an accredited program. LSUE was an accredited program through Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC). This junior college offered a three-year program to obtain an Associate of Science in Respiratory Care. After finishing and achieving my diploma, I moved on to passing my state boards through the National Board of Respiratory Care (NBRC). This test involved two parts. Passing the first half granted one the title of Certified Respiratory Therapist. If the student scores high enough on this exam, they become eligible for the
