Hello everyone, I have been visiting these forums for over a year now while finishing up school for respiratory therapy. I know I know , its a nursing forum but I have a thirst for knowledge that doesn't just stop at the heart and lungs. I love critical care and I feel if more therapists out there learned just the little bit extra it would make all the difference for our patients. I applaud anyone who goes into healthcare , regardless of specialty. With my introduction out of the way I have a question that pulled me into registering an account here :)
I am graduating and taking more boards in March and have a few job offers already. Unfortunately they did not quote me salaries just yet , and while I may have made the mistake of being timid asking them at the time ( just excited to get a few offers while other students cannot find work ) I find myself really wondering what new grad respiratory pay is like. I know this may seem like an odd place to look for this answer but trust me when I say I have torn through the internet left and right and have had zero luck in finding what I seek. I will be taking a job in the Boynton, Boca area. I have my heart set on West Boca/Delray ( tenet facilities ). If you could give me a solid idea of what to expect as a new grad I swear I will help you clean patients during my off time !!!
