In the healthcare business, nurses are in more demand than respiratory therapists. This is due to nurses' broader skill set and ability to handle a number of duties such as medicine administration, wound care, and vital sign monitoring. Respiratory therapists, on the other hand, are trained to treat respiratory disorders such as asthma and cystic fibrosis.
