Patient Care Respiratory Therapist
Resume:
**************@*****.*** GRACYN LEES
Registered respiratory therapist with six years of
experience at a level one trauma hospital, providing care for adult critical patients, along with traumas, floor therapy, and some pediatric care. Working in the ER has allowed me to gain the skills to work quickly and efficiently while adapting to any environment and maintaining quality patient care. During this time being a RRT I was given the opportunity to be a
preceptor working with the many students that come through the department whether they be RT students from the various schools in the area or teaching the basics to nursing students while also coordinating with the local firefighters coming in to brushing up
knowledge on ventilators.
WORK EXPERIENCE

Providing hands-on patient care and therapies, I was able to excel in my bedside manner. Working with a lower level of care and pediatric patients allowed me to interact and communicate with my patients more
effectively.
Working in the emergency department, I would assist with intubations and treat other respiratory issues, like croup, in my pediatric patients. I also saw a lot of COVID-positive patients come through.
Witnessing different treatments being used and
understanding other treatment modalities.

ventilators.
Spending countless hours in the emergency
department assisting with intubation during traumas ranging from young adults to senior citizens who
have fallen.
Placing patients experiencing asthma and COPD
exacerbations on BiPAP or continuous breathing

From time to time I had the opportunity to work with a few pediatric patients, gathering sputum samples for RSV testing, and, unfortunately, responding to codes and gunshot wounds.
