Does respiratory therapy have enough day to day variety? Or is it very repetitive? Is it a fast paced job?
Hi y’all,
I’m thinking of going back to school next year for resp therapy(I’ll be in my late 20s 😭) and I just want to make sure this career is what I think it’ll be. I personally thrive on chaos, some stress and a fast paced environment. I’m currently an RMT (only been in the career a year) and I am losing my mind cuz it’s so slow and boring… but I love people and the idea of working in healthcare. I am also in Canada (not sure how US and Canada would differ)
I’ve read a lot of the posts on here and it seems pretty split on people saying it can be boring/repetitive or others saying “you have time to be bored?”. Is this because of where you work or do you think it’s personality dependent? Or maybe a bit of both? In school do you find out what settings will be more chaotic?
Do you find there is enough day to day variety and novelty in the job or is it repetitive?
If you can guess I’m very ADHD, I saw a post earlier that most people were like “ya a lot of us have adhd” so I feel like that is a good sign lol. Any other ADHD folks who switched careers into this and are happy?
And I guess finally what’s your favourite part of this job?
Thank you so much in advance 🫶
