Job Description:

Job Description Job Description Embark on an impactful journey as a Respiratory Therapist in Omaha, Nebraska, and bring life-improving care to patients while advancing your expertise in a dynamic, supportive travel environment. This specialty-focused opportunity invites you to apply your clinical skills across diverse hospital settings, collaborating with physicians and multidisciplinary teams to optimize respiratory care, drive patient outcomes, and mentor less-experienced staff. As you step into this role starting February 23, 2026, you’ll help families breathe easier, guide complex airway management, and implement evidence-based therapies that elevate the standard of care. Beyond the clinical impact, Nebraska’s expansive skies and welcoming communities offer moments of calm and inspiration. The state’s rural charms and vibrant city life sit side by side—from the bustling riverfront and cultural events in Omaha to serene state parks and wide-open prairies that stretch toward the horizon. Nebraska’s beauty is a daily backdrop to your professional purpose, with opportunities to unwind in outdoor sanctuaries after a fulfilling day of patient care. Location benefits: Omaha stands as a gateway to a thriving Midwest healthcare ecosystem, featuring top-tier hospitals, teaching affiliations, and a collaborative community that values respiratory excellence. You’ll enjoy a supportive network, easy access to continuing education, and the chance to work with a broad spectrum of pulmonary and critical care patients. That said, this travel assignment also opens doors to assignments across Nebraska and other U.S. locations, offering a unique blend of stability and adventure. You’ll refine skills in high-acuity environments like ICUs, step-down units, and outpatient clinics, while immersing yourself in the local culture, dining, festivals, and a robust outdoor scene along the Missouri River. The combination of professional growth, competitive compensation, and the opportunity to explore new locations makes this role especially rewarding for therapists who value both career development and work-life balance. Role specifics and benefits: - Core responsibilities include: performing thorough patient assessments; managing and ventilating patients with diverse respiratory needs; optimizing weaning protocols and weaning-ready protocols; implementing airway clearance techniques, secretion management, and chest physiotherapy; administering aerosolized therapies, medications, and oxygen therapy; interpreting ABGs, monitoring trends, and adjusting plans in collaboration with the care team; educating patients and families on pulmonary care, prevention strategies, and discharge planning; and documenting care in accordance with hospital standards and regulatory requirements. - Professional growth: you’ll have opportunities to expand expertise in ICU-based respiratory care, pulmonary rehab integration, mechanical ventilation strategies, and rapid-response collaboration. The role supports skill diversification across adult and geriatric populations, with potential for mentorship, cross-unit learning, and involvement in quality improvement initiatives. - Benefits and support: enjoy a competitive weekly pay range of $1,985 to $2,128, with guaranteed 36 hours per week. The assignment includes housing assistance to ease relocation, and the possibility of contract extensions to continue or broaden your experience. A performance-based bonus may be available, along with additional stipends for travel-related needs. You’ll receive comprehensive support from a dedicated, 24/7 traveling team to address housing, licensing, orientation, and on-site needs, ensuring you never feel alone on the road. - Work-life integration: the travel model is designed to maximize your clinical impact while respecting personal time. Flexible scheduling and consistent supervisory support help you plan downtime, explore Nebraska’s natural beauty, or venture to other locales for weekend adventures. Company values: Our partner organization is committed to empowering respiratory professionals, recognizing their essential role in patient recovery and safety. The culture emphasizes career advancement, ongoing education, and a supportive environment where clinicians are encouraged to share knowledge, contribute ideas, and grow within the specialty. You’ll join a team that prioritizes safety, compassion, and collaboration, fostering a sense of belonging whether you’re in a familiar city or on a new assignment. Call to action: If you’re a dedicated Respiratory Therapist seeking to elevate your practice, broaden your clinical horizons, and partner with a company that values your expertise and development, we invite you to apply. This is more than a travel assignment—it’s a pathway to meaningful clinical impact, professional growth, and the chance to experience diverse communities while delivering compassionate care that improves breathing and quality of life.
