You belong here

Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital is a premiere clinical and academic health system, providing expert pediatric care for infants, children, and teens with some of the most challenging medical problems. Ranked in multiple specialties by U.S. News & World Report, we provide access to innovative treatments and therapies. With more than half of the 259 beds in our teaching hospital devoted to intensive care level services, we are the regional pediatric referral center for Florida's West Coast.

Job Summary:

As a Respiratory Care Practitioner I, you'll function as an independent RCP delivering patient-centered, evidence-based respiratory care to infants, children, and teens across the continuum of care. You'll serve as a clinical and technical resource for age-specific respiratory modalities, collaborate with an interprofessional team to develop and adjust care plans, and help maintain the highest standards of safe, compassionate care for our pediatric population.

Our Respiratory Care team supports patients across the full range of pediatric care, from general units to our NICU and PICU, operating advanced equipment including ventilators, CPAP/BiPAP, HFNC, HFJV, and HFOV, and partnering closely with physicians, nurses, and other specialists on multidisciplinary rounds.
