It’s never too late to make a career change! Take it from Gary, who became a respiratory therapist at 49. Going from an on-air personality to a bedside personality, he took a giant leap of faith and hasn’t looked back since. “What would I say to somebody looking to make a career shift, or thinking about a career shift? DO IT! Do it – make it happen. It’s never too late, you’re never too old.” https://bit.ly/3SFmfNw

"Why did I choose respiratory? Well, actually, respiratory kinda chose me." While working at a vet's office, Anrey learned about respiratory therapists from a client, who happened to be an RT herself. Soon after, Anrey went to school to become an RT and from there flourished into the passionate educator she is today. Start your journey today! https://bit.ly/3QZSdTX

Excellence defines us

NBRC credentials provide recognition for hard work and dedication to quality. Success brings respect among colleagues and instills a sense of pride in those who earn the NBRC badges of distinction. Why? For the same reason all 49 states regulating the profession recognize NBRC examinations as standards for state licensure: success requires exceptional knowledge and competency. Our NCCA-accredited examinations—which are developed by respiratory care professionals and predictive of job performance—provide the opportunity to prove readiness for excellence in patient care.
