September 2020
Respiratory Therapist in Ann Arbor:
This is during the COVID-19 pandemic. I thought the University would treat its Respiratory therapists better. First it was you need to go to the RICU.. OK.., then put your health on the line.. OK, then we’ll take away your raise from you indefinitely.. OK, now we need to take your 401 match! Michigan University is one of the lowest paying RT jobs around. Although the the workload varies it’s reasonable for now, until it isn’t. The prestige is gone for me and others. HR and management have taken their sides and now left us for the wolves. If you’re a new grad, look for employment that takes you to the height you deserve and not just a name.
July 2020
Respiratory Therapist in Chicago:
It used to be a great place to work. Now it’s terrible. Management is awful. HR is incompetent. Everyone is miserable and hates their job. Every day we were short staffed. You get yelled at for taking a break. The workload is unsafe. You don’t get a raise. It’s literally a joke. The respiratory therapy manager is pathetic. It’s a shame because they pretend they care about their patients but they don’t at all. All they care about is money. Less staff equals less money you have to pay. They try to get by with the minimum and expect you to pick up shifts so they’re not even more short staffed. Ridiculous.
July 2020
Always a learning experience. Busy, compassionate, advocating, and educating, loving helping patients from being critically ill to rehabbing to home.
Respiratory Therapist in Philadelphia:
Pros: Helping people heal and educating them on there disease or disorder
Cons: Inconsistency, lack of cultural recognition.
June 2020
Marshfield medical center.
Respiratory Therapist in Marshfield:
Pros: I love the work I do to help my patients feel better, and we have a great team who works together for the greater good
Cons: Meetings can be counterproductive, some department hears can be closed minded.
