Hello my fellow Therapist, I have a question and hope that you can help me.Is there really a benefit to having additional respiratory credentials, other than CRT and RRT? The reason i asked is that I'm a CPFT working at this hospital where PFT's are done, but the ones who perform the PFT's are not credentialed in that area. Me and another person, who is a RPFT, has never even been in the PFT lab. Sure they have been there for a few years, and me and this other person has been there alittle over a year. When they're done they always ask me and this other person what does it mean, and we know with just one look. I know it depends on the hospital, but in the future do you think that having your credential will be more of a MUST rather than an option. Where it will be more inforced to have this credential to work in these areas. As of now there is not much of an ergency to study, pay for and pass an exam such as this one, because it seems like just another piece of paper hanging on the wall. We mentioned it to the manager, but her response was "well they been here longer". And that made me wonder what is the weight of this credential? and will the NBRC make this more of a MUST have thing. thanks for reading
