What I like the most about being a respiratory therapist at Northside Hospital Cherokee is the team that I work with. They're behind you a hundred percent of the time with any questions or concerns. Especially our supervisor and our director. They're there for you always with any questions or concerns and if they cannot figure it out, they will find a way to figure it out for you and help guide you along the way to get that answered for you. We are constantly keeping up with new therapies, new ventilators, new modes, anything that'll help better our patient and I really appreciate that in the hospital system. I will forever be grateful for my job at Northside Hospital Cherokee. I couldn't have picked a better place to work for. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to work here and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for me as a respiratory therapist there at Northside Hospital Cherokee.

Being a respiratory therapist at Northside Hospital Cherokee, we start our days by getting our assignments in the department, and then we go find a therapist that had that assignment the shift before, and we get report from them. Figure out how our day's gonna be, how we need to line it up, whether that be in the ICU, the emergency room, floor assignment. We either start our day by managing a ventilator, starting with breathing treatments, checking oxygen therapy modalities on patients, or doing simple as the incentive spirometer, just making sure we exercise those ones for our patients. As a team, if anything happens such as a code, a rapid response, anything to that nature, we're all there for each other. No matter what the situation is, we make sure that that therapist gets what they need for that specific patient and that certain situation. I couldn't have chose a better team to work with/for. Northside Hospital Cherokee will be my home for as long as I can keep it. I appreciate my job there, and will forever be grateful for working there.
