Have any respiratory therapists found jobs OTHER than being a clinical RT? I want to possibly change careers, but I am finding that a lot of jobs (clinical liason, utilization review, etc) want you to have a nursing degree, not a respiratory degree. I feel like as an RT we are limited to jobs.

We have multiple RT’s at our org who are Epic Analysts. Specifically working on ClinDoc, Orders, and Ambulatory teams. You do not need to be “tech savvy” to be an analyst. If you are tech savvy however, we also have RT’s who work in IT integration services as well.

I do the same thing, but we use Cerner at our hospital. We have an RT on our team as well. The pay is actually higher in our position (Clinical Informatics) than any clinical respiratory positions at our hospital.

I did that previously but it wasn’t enough pay

Keep trying. I do not agree that you need to have a nursing degree to be doing clinical liaison or utilization review. Some long term care facilities like to have RTs on their team to evaluate trach and ventilator dependent patients. Other than working in the hospital setting, pulmonary rehab, cardiac rehab and PFT, I have seen people transition into sales, administrators, educators, and IT.

I’m not sure what area you are in but I have been a clinical liaison for LTACH for 7 years. I am a RT.

……and I agree with you. Our field is limited. I have a BS in Health Administration and in 4 weeks I’ll have a MBA. I’m worried that I will struggle to get into quality or operations management bc I am not a nurse

I got turned down for three mid level design positions. I don’t know if it’s because my last position was as an art director and they’re just confused or if I seem not as enthusiastic about the role as I should be but it’s definitely disheartening because I’m unemployed and I need to get back to work. I have since decided to focus more on senior designer and Art Director roles at a higher rate and will go from there.

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
