Job DescriptionEmbark on a dynamic journey as a Respiratory Therapist in Nebraska, Omaha, where every breath you support helps patients reclaim independence and hope. In this specialty, you'll guide patients through intricate pulmonary care, fine-tune ventilator strategies, and partner with physicians, nurses, and therapists to deliver compassionate, evidence-based therapy. You'll assess respiratory status, tailor interventions, and advocate for best practices in airway clearance, medication administration, and noninvasive support. Imagine the trust you'll earn as you walk with patients through outcomes that matter-improved oxygenation, safer weaning from devices, and stronger returns to daily life. Now picture Nebraska's beauty as your backdrop: the wide blue horizons of the Sandhills, the shimmering Missouri River, and Omaha's thriving urban scene with parks, museums, and dining that complement your demanding days. From Fontenelle Forest's green canopy to the iconic dunes and prairie sunsets, Nebraskan landscapes offer restful escapes between shifts and opportunities to recharge in a state famed for its warmth and space. Location Benefits: Omaha stands as a dynamic hub for healthcare innovation, teaching, and patient-centered care, drawing on a robust network of hospitals, research centers, and community clinics. Your assignments here provide exposure to diverse cases-from acute care and emergency departments to specialized pulmonary rehabilitation programs-while benefiting from the region's affordable living, strong schools, and welcoming neighborhoods. As a travel Respiratory Therapist, you'll also have the opportunity to be deployed across various locations in the United States, broadening your professional perspective and sharpening your clinical skills through different hospital cultures, patient demographics, and care protocols. The travel model is designed to deliver enriching experiences: you'll meet a spectrum of pulmonary conditions, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and gain insight into how different systems approach respiratory management. Throughout your journey, you'll receive 24/7 support from a dedicated travel concierge-an on-call resource ready to assist with housing, transport, credentialing, and any on-site needs-so you can focus on delivering high-quality care with confidence.

Role Specifics and Benefits: In this Respiratory Therapist assignment, you'll lead and support therapeutic strategies for patients with acute and chronic respiratory needs. Core responsibilities include performing thorough assessments of respiratory function, adjusting ventilator settings under physician orders, and guiding the weaning process to facilitate safe transitions from invasive or noninvasive support. You'll administer prescribed bronchodilators, mucolytics, and other inhaled therapies, monitor oxygen delivery systems, and manage high-flow nasal cannulae and noninvasive ventilation interfaces. You'll interpret arterial blood gases, collaborate with intensivists and nurses during rounds, and contribute to care plans by documenting progress, outcomes, and response to therapy. Your role also encompasses infection control, device maintenance, troubleshooting of equipment, and providing clear education to patients and families about treatment goals, device use, and home-care considerations. The position supports ongoing professional growth: opportunities to pursue specialty certifications, participate in mentorship programs, and undertake leadership tracks as you gain experience. For those seeking stability within travel assignments, the Guaranteed Hours of 36 per week ensure predictable schedules, while weekly pay ranges from $2,036 to $2,187, with the potential for extensions and longer engagements.

A Respiratory Therapist (RT) is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in the assessment, treatment, and care of patients with breathing or cardiopulmonary disorders. Respiratory therapists work with individuals of all ages, providing care to those with conditions such as asthma, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), sleep apnea, and those requiring life support or mechanical ventilation. They use a variety of techniques and equipment to manage and improve respiratory function. Key Responsibilities: Patient Assessment and Evaluation: Conduct comprehensive assessments of patients with respiratory or cardiopulmonary conditions, including reviewing medical history and performing physical exams. Assess lung function, breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and other vital signs through non-invasive and invasive diagnostic procedures. Analyze test results, including pulmonary function tests (PFTs), arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis, chest X-rays, and sleep studies. Developing and Implementing Treatment Plans: Collaborate with physicians to develop and implement personalized treatment plans for patients with respiratory issues. Adjust and monitor ventilation settings for patients requiring mechanical ventilation or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (e.g., CPAP, BiPAP). Administer respiratory therapy treatments, including oxygen therapy, nebulizer treatments, pulmonary rehabilitation, and airway clearance techniques. Administering Respiratory Treatments: Provide oxygen therapy via nasal cannulas, masks, or mechanical ventilators for patients with respiratory distress or low oxygen levels. Perform aerosol therapy to deliver medication directly to the lungs via inhalers, nebulizers, or other devices. Administer incentive spirometry to improve lung function and encourage deep breathing after surgery or illness. Provide airway management, including suctioning, endotracheal intubation, and assisting with tracheostomy care. Monitoring and Evaluating Patient Progress: Continuously monitor the effectiveness of respiratory treatments and adjust therapy as necessary based on patient responses. Assess patients for signs of respiratory distress and intervene promptly when complications arise. Track and document patient progress, ensuring treatments are tailored to the patient's evolving needs. Emergency Response and Critical Care: Provide emergency respiratory care to patients experiencing respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, or other life-threatening situations. Administer resuscitation techniques, such as CPR, defibrillation, and advanced airway management, in emergency situations. Assist with intubation, mechanical ventilation, and weaning from life support when necessary. Patient Education and Support: Educate patients and families on proper use of respiratory equipment, medications, and techniques for managing respiratory conditions at home. Provide guidance on lifestyle changes to improve lung health, such as quitting smoking, controlling asthma triggers, and managing chronic respiratory diseases. Offer instruction on pulmonary rehabilitation exercises to strengthen lung capacity and improve overall physical health. Collaboration with Healthcare Team: Work closely with physicians, nurses, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals to develop a holistic care plan for respiratory patients. Attend multidisciplinary care meetings to discuss patient progress, treatment goals, and necessary adjustments. Communicate effectively with patients and their families, ensuring they understand treatment plans and ongoing care needs. Documentation and Record Keeping: Maintain accurate and detailed records of patient assessments, treatments, medications, and progress in accordance with healthcare regulations (e.g., HIPAA). Ensure proper documentation for insurance billing, treatment plans, and patient updates. Record patient responses to treatments, including vital signs, oxygen saturation, and any adverse reactions or complications. Equipment Management: Set up and maintain respiratory therapy equipment, such as mechanical ventilators, nebulizers, and oxygen delivery devices. Ensure that all respiratory equipment is properly calibrated, clean, and functioning according to safety standards. Perform troubleshooting and minor repairs on respiratory equipment as needed. Professional Development and Continuing Education: Participate in continuing education opportunities to stay current with new techniques, equipment, and best practices in respiratory therapy. Obtain and maintain certifications such as Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS). Stay updated on new advancements in respiratory care, including new technologies, medications, and treatment protocols.
