As you step into this specialty role, you'll see how your expertise translates into real-world impact-from stabilizing acutely ill patients to guiding long-term recovery plans. Imagine the confidence you'll bring to families during challenging moments and the professional growth that comes with collaborating across interdisciplinary teams. And beyond the hospital walls, indulge in Rhode Island's distinctive charm: sunlit beaches along the Atlantic, the scenic shores of Narragansett Bay, stately mansions and coastal villages, and a state where maritime history meets modern vitality. Coventry sits in a welcoming community that blends small-town warmth with access to broader regional opportunities, making this assignment as enjoyable personally as it is meaningful professionally. Location benefits extend far beyond a single city. Coventry places you in the heart of Rhode Island's natural beauty, offering quick escapes to ocean vistas, state parks, and easy drives to Providence cultural treasures. Working here also means the flexibility to broaden your experience by rotating through diverse facilities and settings within the U.S. This exposure can sharpen your clinical judgment, expand your toolkit for airway management, and deepen your understanding of patient care across age groups. You'll enjoy the unique advantages of practicing in New England-the emphasis on teamwork, evidence-based protocols, and a culture that values meticulous care and patient advocacy. The opportunity to collaborate with seasoned professionals in a compact geographic area creates a tight-knit support network while the broader national assignments keep your horizons expansive and your skillset in continuous renewal. In this role, your responsibilities will center on delivering high-quality respiratory care with precision and empathy. You'll perform assessments, interpret pulmonary function studies, optimize ventilator strategies, assist with weaning and extubation, administer medications, and monitor patients' responses to therapies. You'll collaborate with physicians, nurses, and therapists to implement care plans, document outcomes, and adapt approaches as conditions evolve. You'll educate patients and their families about disease processes, inhaled therapies, oxygen delivery, and self-management strategies, strengthening long-term health maintenance. There's ample opportunity for professional growth within the respiratory specialty, including exposure to complex cases, emerging technologies, and evidence-based practice enhancements. The role also supports career advancement through targeted training, credentialing assistance, and structured pathways to expand your scope of practice. We understand that competitive benefits matter, especially when you're traveling and settling into a new locale. This program offers a compelling compensation package, including a weekly pay range of $1,745 to $1,844, with guaranteed hours of 35.0 per week, and a start date aligned with your project needs (01/19/2026 is anticipated for the Rhode Island opening). You'll also have access to a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extension opportunities that allow you to extend your valuable contributions. The arrangement is designed to be robust and flexible, supporting you through every phase-orientation, travel, assignment, and adaptation to new clinical teams-so you can focus on what you do best: delivering expert respiratory care. In addition, you'll benefit from comprehensive ongoing support, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel team that helps you navigate housing, local logistics, credentialing updates, and any clinical questions that arise while you're on assignment.
