Education and credentialing

Education and credentialing need further detail, and this article needs more information overall. Roquen.phd (talk) 01:07, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion clean slate

The discussion page was being used as a discussion forum and not as it is intended, so clean slate. Roquen.phd (talk) 01:07, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Occupational Outlook

In the United States, Respiratory therapists held about 122,000 jobs in 2006. About 79 percent of jobs were in hospitals, mainly in departments of respiratory care, anesthesiology, or pulmonary medicine. Most of the remaining jobs were in offices of physicians or other health practitioners, consumer-goods rental firms that supply respiratory equipment for home use, nursing care facilities, and home health care services. Holding a second job is relatively common for respiratory therapists. About 12 percent held another job, compared with 5 percent of workers in all occupations.[1]

  • Should this be included since it may be a variable figure that is out-dated rapidly?

history of respiratory therapy

the timeline has its own article now, which I feel makes it very clean but now we're left without a history section.Je.rrt (talk) 13:16, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Symbol

The symbol currently posted is not one I have ever seen. Granted I have not been an RT very long, its also weird and choppy. Are there any other symbols that better represent Respiratory Care? Kastyn.rrt (talk) 12:41, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
