Respiratory Therapist Registered - Pulmonary Rehab

Your job is more than a job

Breathe Life Into Care

At the heart of every breath is someone like you.

You’re more than a clinician you’re the calm in the storm when someone says, “I can’t breathe.” You bring skill, precision, and heart to every moment, whether it’s managing a ventilator, supporting a code, or simply helping a patient feel safe again.

If you believe respiratory care is about treating the whole person, not just the condition, you’ll fit right in here.

Why You’ll Love This Role

Because you don’t just administer treatments, you transform fear into relief.
Because every breath you help restore is a win.
Because your compassion matters just as much as your clinical expertise.

From a child battling with asthma to a patient navigating COPD, you’re there; steady, skilled, and deeply human.

What You’ll Do (aka Your Everyday Impact)

You’ll be hands-on with both critical and general care, including:

• Managing ventilators and adjusting settings based on patient needs
• Performing arterial punctures and assisting with airway management
• Supporting high-acuity situations like Code III responses
• Assisting with bronchoscopies and intubations
• Delivering therapies (oxygen, aerosol, CPT, IPPB, incentive spirometry, and more)
• Monitoring equipment and ensuring safe, effective operation
• Educating patients and families so they feel informed and empowered
• Maintaining strict infection control and safety standards
• Collaborating with a team that values your insight and expertise

What Makes You Amazing (What You Bring)

Required Credentials:

• Licensed Respiratory Therapist (Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners)
• Registered Respiratory Therapist (NBRC)
• Current BLS / CPR (AHA)
• ACLS Certification
• PALS Certification

Beyond the Basics:

• Ability to prioritize in fast-paced environments
• A compassionate, patient-first mindset
• A team player who communicates clearly and confidently

The Difference You Make

Respiratory distress is overwhelming, but you bring relief.
You bring clarity.
You bring breath back.

And those moments when a patient relaxes, smiles, and finally exhales?
That’s why you do what you do. And it’s why we want you on our team.
