About Respiratory Care Therapist Jobs

It’s no secret that your field is experiencing major growth. Experts predict a meteoric rise in respiratory care therapist jobs over the next several years. That puts your skills in demand. Soliant can help you capitalize on that demand by making sure you are rewarded for the important and demanding work you do in an exceptional respiratory therapist job.

Ensuring the treatment and recovery of a patient with breathing problems is the primary goal of the registered respiratory therapist. A registered respiratory therapist has earned more credentials than a certified respiratory therapist, which places them in a higher salary range and advances their career into more of a management position. Because of this, the registered respiratory therapist will be required to collect and analyze blood, sputum, breath, and other breathing-related specimens. The registered respiratory therapist will use these samples to test for oxygen levels, carbon dioxide levels, and any irregularities. A registered respiratory therapist will be required to help the patient determine what type of breathing irregularity has occurred and if impairments are present.

Respiratory Therapist Job Requirements

At an advanced level in the respiratory therapy field, RRTs must have an associate’s degree as well as the credential of a Registered Respiratory Therapist. While these are the minimum requirements, professionals are advised to pursue a higher level of education, such as a master’s degree, for a better chance of securing higher-level RRT jobs and a pay raise. It is likely that a registered respiratory therapist will be required to have CPR certification as well.

All respiratory care therapist jobs also require logical judgment, compassionate communication, critical thinking, and the ability to make tough decisions in a critical environment.

Travel Respiratory Therapy Jobs

The demand for respiratory therapists has grown significantly, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, making travel respiratory therapist jobs increasingly available. With generally the same responsibilities and requirements as permanent positions, these travel roles allow respiratory therapists to work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and long-term care facilities, often filling in gaps in staffing for short-term assignments.
