Who you'd be caring for

Patients undergoing overnight and daytime sleep studies, including titration.

What the shift actually looks like

Overnight studies with two or three patients simultaneously, hookup, monitoring, titration and often scoring. Almost entirely night shift.

What you need to hold

Typically required
RPSGT or CRT/RRT-SDS; BLS
Typical assignment
Typically 1:2 to 1:3 patients per night

What to ask before you accept

In-lab versus home study mix, split-night protocols, scoring responsibility and shift differential.

We put those questions to the facility at intake so you get a straight answer before you commit, not after your first shift.

Why this role is in demand

Almost entirely night shift, which shrinks the pool substantially. Differential matters more here than in most allied roles. For you, that is leverage — the narrower the skill set, the smaller the pool you are competing against and the better the assignments you get offered.

Travel, per diem or permanent?

Travel and local contract suit respiratory well because winter volume is predictable and contracts booked ahead pay better than scrambles in January. Per diem works if you want control over your calendar. Permanent if you want to build depth in one department.
