Happy Respiratory Care Week! October 25, 2009

For Respiratory Care Week this year, our department head got us a poster that says “Happy RT week. Now get back to work, you ingrateful bastards.”
No! I jest. Our department may be badly run, but the management is at least making an honest and heavy effort to recognize us for RT week. There is a CEU blitz, a few free lunches, a few fun and festive moments, and generally a good time. RT week is the one time of the year where everyone in the hospital is made aware of our department and the work we do, and I’m glad we get the recognition and credit at least once.
New (but not “new” any more) Nurse Jane has written a lovely tribute to RTs everywhere. Thank you, Jane, for the kind words and the affection!
And, to all RT and non-RT readers, happy respiratory care week!
Happy Respiratory Care Week!!! I for one really appreciate you for all you do!!! Couldn’t do my job as well without you!!!
Happy Respiratory Care Week to you as well!
Say it loud–I’ve learned more from RTs online than I have from my own doc!
I confess, I’m not a big believer in this-or-that weeks.
I employ nurses and paramedics. A few years ago, several of the nurses complained that the organization (and specifically, me) did nothing to recognize nurses’ week. I told them that we/I had done exactly the same for them as we had for EMS week earlier in the year. “What EMS week?” they asked. Exactly
Hope you enjoy the well-deserved recognition!
happy happy respiratory care week! love your dept ! obviously.
Happy Respiratory Care Week, bro!
hope you have a great one KB
That’s about it isn’t it! This is actually the first year the hospital I work for celebrated RT Week. I think this grateful bastard has gained 10 pounds eating all the pies, pizza, cakes, etc.
