Deteriorating patients across the facility — airway emergencies, intubation support and codes.
Deteriorating patients across the facility — airway emergencies, intubation support and codes.
No assignment, facility-wide coverage. Airway emergencies, intubation support, codes and deteriorating patients across every unit. Long quiet stretches broken by full-intensity events.
Code team composition, intubation role, and whether the therapist covers transport.
Intubation assistance scope varies by state and facility. Confirm what the therapist is permitted to do.
Answering these in the req itself shortens the process considerably, because they are the questions that otherwise surface at offer stage and cause declines: Code team composition, intubation scope permitted in that state and facility, and whether transport is included.
Contract works well for seasonal respiratory volume, which is predictable enough to book ahead at a lower rate. Permanent is the right call for structural gaps — given the growth projections and pipeline constraints, this market is not going to loosen.
Respiratory therapists are licensed in 49 states and there is no interstate compact, nor one in progress. Alaska becomes the fiftieth when its licensing provisions take effect in January 2027. Every cross-state hire therefore begins with a fresh application, which is why respiratory fill timelines vary far more by state than nursing timelines do.
Every candidate is spoken to before you see them, with licensure for your state, certifications and unit-specific competency confirmed before submittal. We screen to the credential the unit actually needs rather than the title on the posting. Rates sit inside the ranges on our published cost breakdown.
