Mary,

I graduated from respiratory school over 10 years ago and worked as a floor therapist for 7 years before swtiching to my current industry, homecare. I loved being a therapist. Yes...there are some considerations you must think about. First and foremost you won't be able to take care of any CF patient. It is a 2 way street, certainly you don't want to give someone one of your bugs but you also don't want to catch a nasty bug from someone else. There are many places you can work as a RT where CF exposure isn't an issue so you will be just fine and that is what you decide to do. RT's don't make bad money considering you can go to a votech school to do it. Good luck in your endeavors....
