  • Manage and monitor ventilators, CPAP/BiPAP, and other life‐support equipment
  • Perform arterial blood gas (ABG) collection and analysis as required
  • Respond to respiratory emergencies, rapid responses, and code situations
  • Collaborate with physicians, nurses, and interdisciplinary care teams
  • Educate patients and families on respiratory conditions, treatments, and equipment use
  • Maintain and troubleshoot respiratory equipment
  • Adhere to infection control, safety standards, and department protocols
  • Document assessments, treatments, and patient responses accurately in the medical record

What We’re Looking For

  • Active Respiratory Therapist license in the state of practice
  • CRT or RRT credential required
  • Minimum of 1 year of recent acute care (hospital) Respiratory Therapy experience required
  • BLS certification required (ACLS preferred depending on assignment)
  • Strong assessment, critical‐thinking, and clinical decision‐making skills
  • Experience with ventilator management and high‐acuity patient populations
  • Ability to remain calm and effective in emergency situations

Why You’ll Love This Opportunity
