I’ve been an RT for 21 years. Our pay increases do not match the shortages. Anyone not have a shortage of RTs in your location or is it just my region and pay of the hospitals around here?

I have seen this in many healthcare industries, especially in essential workers this to happen. The only thing that would come to my mind is to start offering your services privately.

I wish that was an option

We have to outsource services at our facility. There aren't any respiratory therapists applying for cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.

There are RT shortages everywhere, but I think it is because RT’s are separate from nurses. Just don’t have as much bargaining power despite the obvious need.

I would only ever work at a facility where there is autonomy amongst RRTs. If we ever fell under nursing where I currently am, I'd be on indeed looking for a job ASAP

We get " cost of living" raises yearly as well which did not match the inflation even close. Our department fought vigorously even went above the bosses head to demand a market adjustment. It helped alot. We are paid fairly for the work we do. We currently have a full staff on days and nights. Although we seem to be working shorter more often, probably to compensate for the bosses budget.

I have been at the current hospital I work at in administration for about 11 years now. I am treated great, love the people and love the hours.

The only problem is that our CEO has stated that we will never be a company that gives yearly raises, merit based or cost of living. I have been offered another job with a competing hospital but scared to leave. Advise?
