Job Description:

Join a team of skilled Respiratory Therapists in Shreveport for a 13-week travel assignment that covers all four local campuses. You'll be working 12-hour night shifts, providing support across ED, ICU, Stepdown, Med/Tele, NICU, PICU, and high-risk delivery units. This role offers a chance to showcase your expertise in high-risk neonatal deliveries, airway management, and ventilator support, all while experiencing the vibrant Louisiana atmosphere. Expect to support neonates, adults, and high-acuity patients while floating between facilities, making each shift uniquely challenging and rewarding. Bring your experience supporting NICU/PICU teams and managing complex airway situations—this isn't your average respiratory therapy job, but a chance to be at the forefront of critical care during busy nights.
