Job Description:

This respiratory therapy contract offers a hands-on opportunity to work in a busy inpatient and outpatient setting, covering a wide range of adult, pediatric, and neonatal patient needs. You’ll be performing treatments, drawing ABGs, and occasionally doing EKGs while assisting the respiratory supervisor and managing a diverse caseload that includes STEMI, CVA, Covid, arrests, and more. Expect to work 12-hour night shifts, with a schedule that requires flexibility to fill gaps and rotate through various areas such as ICUs, ER, nurseries, and sleep labs.
