Be an RT: Respiratory Therapist

Living once is enough, if we do it right. The truth is that until now, very few people did. Even though I have been working very hard at my jobs, I am less willing to hang onto them. I often feel a lack of confidence for my future. What makes me feel like that ? Am I in the right direction for my future ? If not, what will make me to do it right ? After much consideration, I made up my mind to challenge my old ideas and assumptions and replace them with new ones. I want to discover and develop my hidden potential for a vibrant, more purposeful life than I ever imagined. For those years being delivered by the increase in longevity, I will enjoy using my interest and talents in new ways and achieving a different kind of success. The demand for the health care professional has never been higher, so job stability is excellent. Continued growth in biomedical technology ensures the field will never get boring. And the opportunity to really help people and make a lasting and meaningful difference in the lives of others means I will get much more out of my career than just a paycheck. This is the reasons why I want to be a registered respiratory therapist.
