Respiratory therapists assess and treat patients with breathing and cardiopulmonary disorders, working in hospitals, ICUs, emergency departments, and pulmonary-care settings. The roles listed here are drawn from real openings at facilities actively hiring RRTs and CRTs.
Employers require graduation from an accredited respiratory-therapy program and state licensure, with the Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) credential preferred over the entry-level CRT for most acute-care roles. BLS is standard; ACLS, PALS, or NRP may be required depending on the unit. Ventilator management experience is frequently listed.
Demand for respiratory therapists has grown with an aging population and ongoing need in critical and pulmonary care. Compensation varies by setting and shift, with night and weekend differentials common. Keeping credentials and unit-specific competencies current widens the roles you qualify for.
