Travel Respiratory Therapist Job

Embark on a rewarding journey as a Respiratory Therapist specializing in respiratory care in New York, Geneva, with opportunities to work across diverse settings in the U.S. This role puts you at the forefront of patient recovery, from acute care units to high-acuity environments, where your skills in airway management, ventilator support, and pulmonary rehabilitation directly influence lives. Imagine applying your expertise to help patients breathe easier, advocate for breath safety, and collaborate with physicians, nurses, and therapists to chart compassionate, evidence-based care. In scenic Geneva, NY, and throughout New York state, you'll find rhythms of culture, nature, and innovation that nourish both your professional growth and your well-being. From the tranquil shores of Seneca Lake and the rolling hills of the Finger Lakes to the energy of metropolitan centers just a short flight or drive away, this assignment blends professional purpose with the beauty of the state. You may also have the chance to experience locations across the U.S., expanding your horizons while you deliver essential care.

Location Benefits: New York's healthcare landscape offers exposure to renowned hospitals and teaching facilities, opportunities to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and access to continuing education resources that accelerate your expertise. Geneva, a welcoming community on the banks of a scenic lake, provides a supportive environment to grow your clinical confidence while enjoying local wineries, parks, and festivals. As a traveler, you'll benefit from the flexibility to work in various locations across the country, gaining experience with different patient populations, hospital cultures, and care protocols. You'll be part of a network that values adaptability, cultural awareness, and patient-centered service, with the chance to explore iconic destinations, from the Hudson Valley's artistry to upstate natural wonders, all while building a robust clinical portfolio.

Role Specifics and Benefits: In this travelers' assignment, you'll assess and manage respiratory care for patients spanning the age spectrum, from post-operative patients to those with chronic respiratory conditions, ARDS, COPD, and acute care needs. Your day might include performing bronchodilator therapies, airway clearance techniques, ventilator management, non-invasive ventilation, nocturnal capnography, and weaning support, along with documentation, rounding with the team, and educating patients and families about breathing techniques, oxygen use, and device care. You'll participate in care planning, implement evidence-based protocols, and contribute to rapid response and code team assessments as needed. There is substantial room for professional growth, with opportunities to deepen specialization in critical care, neonatal or pediatric respiratory care, or pulmonary rehabilitation, and to pursue certification pathways that align with your career goals. We offer competitive compensation with a weekly pay range of $443-$460, a robust bonus structure, and housing assistance to ease transitions into new communities. We encourage extension opportunities so you can continue to make an impact while expanding your experience and strengthening your professional network. We provide comprehensive support 24/7 for traveling clinicians, including on-call access, credentialing assistance, housing referrals, and dedicated operations teams ready to help with any request—whether it's a last‑minute shift change, a local housing question, or a clinical reference.
