I am an RRT!

I am so excited because I am now an RRT! What does that mean? I basically got more credentials behind my name. In some places it means more money, but most importantly it gives me the opportunity to specialize and test in other areas such as neonates. I love working with the babies in our neonate nursery and I've always wanted to take the test. Not all respiratory therapist are eligible for it and it depends on your degree in respiratory. I've been eligible to take the test since I graduated from college but then came marriage, baby, then oops! another baby, then homeschooling and soon I found myself with no time to invest in studying. I finally decided last year to take it. It's a six hour test and it will send you over the edge for sure! I was able to pass the first portion and had to retake the last section only. I took that part yesterday and passed with flying colors. It was a huge accomplishment for me and it opens lots of doors. The future is just a little brighter!!
