I've finally decided what career I want to be, and that's a respiratory therapist. I've decided to pick this career because of my younger brother. After he was born, he was diagnosed with bronchitis. My mom would have to take him to the emergency about every other week because he was coughing violently and he couldn't breath. My brother is now 14 years old, and sometimes he still has trouble breathing. I want a career in healthcare where I can treat people with cardiopulmonary problems... But I can't decided what school I want to go to. All the community colleges in my area are full. It's so hard to get in a class, and I don't want to deal with that. I was thinking about going to the Concorde Career College of San Bernadino but the tuition is too high.. I think its over 40 thousand. I found an online school called IU (independence university) and they have an RT program, and the tuition is about 27 thousand, but that still kind of high lol.

I don't really care about the price. I just want a quality education. I don't want to pay all that money for crappy education.

:( I really need advice. Does anyone know of a good RT school that's CoARC accredited? Online or on Campus, Doesn't matter. With a Financial Aid Option.
I live in Fontana, CA.

You are better off going with Concord. I know several RTs who have graduated from them (here in Memphis) who have a thriving career.
