re: Any Respiratory Therapist here?

Then I can make anywhere from $120,000 to $150,000 or even more a year while RT are sitting at $60,000 a year with little of a clinical ladder to grow. Two years of sacrifice to make a 6 figure salary?

And not to sit here and argue with you because it really doesn't matter but some people get into CRNA school with only a year of ICU experience and some get in with only ER experience. Not much butt wiping going on in the ER. That's the beauty of nursing. We can work anywhere we choose to and have ample opportunities to expand our education and add certifications for more pay and better job opportunities.
