@BrianKWalsh ... and yet we need to "disconnect" for our brains to see things in new ways. Why not a pool with children who see everything as possible?

[Andrew Miller MSc RRT-ACCS RRT-NPS FAARC FCCM @AGMRRT]

Haha, this hit home. Right @JBradyScott @BrianKWalsh @JieLiRRT @pendelluft @ShawnaStricklnd

Great to see respiratory therapists and others at UW Health getting this important vaccine! I have fond memories starting my career at UW.

[Dr. Shawna Strickland CAE RRT @ShawnaStricklnd]

A historic moment for Wisconsin: Respiratory Therapist Tina Schubert became the first of UW Health’s healthcare workers to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. https://t.co/5QSwbh5FTo

Step #4, connect with advisors of health professions' programs. Advisors cannot promote #RespiratoryTherapists if they are unfamiliar with what you do and how awesome it is to help people breathe better.@aarc_tweets @be_an_rt

[Dr. Shawna Strickland CAE RRT @ShawnaStricklnd]

Want to promote #respiratorytherapy as an excellent career path?
1⃣ Talk about the vital role of the RT (all the time)
2⃣ Follow/promote @be_an_rt
3⃣ Participate in events like @hosafhp & @healthprofweek to reach folks looking for a stable job + ways to help people

Other tips?

[Ellen Becker @EllenBeckerRRT]
