I have chose to look into this job because I am going to school to be a respiratory therapist. This job will be good for me because it is exactly what I am looking for and it is at Holland Hospital close to my home. It is a job that works closely with people and I love being around people. Plus, I would like working long shifts each day. 8-12 hours a day wouldn't bug me a bit. If I was all finished with school and my respiratory program I would apply for this job in a heart beat.
