Welcome to Balancing Life & Work, AARC's virtual interview forum. We asked respiratory therapists, just like you, to give us their opinions on resolutions, professionalism, volunteerism, financial planning, and more. The goal -- to offer tips for balancing the hectic demands of a fulfilling career with the joys of life. This month join:

Tony Schmitt for his take on dealing with night shifts.

For a more in-depth article on working night and around-the-clock shifts, read "RTs Up All Night" in the April 2000 AARC Times.

Past interviews:

• Cathey Sullivan, RRT, RPFT, Upper Nyack NY, for her take on RTs and money.
• Ken Lizzi, MPH RRT, Rock Springs, WY, and Thomas A. Madrin, RRT, Macon, GA, give their perspectives on professionalism.
