Hello,I'm a respiratory Therapist Working at a long term Hospital and it's a thrill. Mostly the same patients which gives me the opportunity to really get to know them. I'm hoping with a passion to get into a PA program.

My Ideal Jobs would be..

Excuse the whimsical daydream post. But why not.
My ideal/ dream jobs would be:


1 Sutter Davis: I could walk there haha! and I hear great things!

2 Seventh Day Adventist hospitals- they pray with their patients =]

3 Kaiser Permanente Hospitals, My cousins work there as physicians and chiefs, maybe that'll help, but I'm not sure they would hire a new grad no matter who I know. I hear they are amazing places to work so I can dream.

4 A hospital in paradise like Orange county, San Diego or an awesome place like San Francisco that's not too far. Oh lala

5 Childrens Hospitals. A chance to make such a difference- kids are amazing. It's be incredible.

6 Government/ VA. The honor to work with veterans and have job security and good benefits!

7 Any Combination of the above like a seventh day adventist childrens hospital in a lovely place.. or working multiple places... =]


Makes me feel happy just to imagine. oh my. ;]
