Embark on a transformative journey as a Registered Respiratory Therapist specializing in adult and critical care, bringing expert care to patients whose lives depend on precise breath-by-breath support. This opportunity places you in Washington’s coastal community of Aberdeen, where your expertise will help families navigate challenging moments with confidence and compassion. Visualize yourself making a measurable difference—from bedside assessments to ventilator management and patient-centered therapies—while enjoying the unique beauty of Washington State, where evergreen forests meet rugged coastlines and every shift offers a new story of resilience and hope. Begin on 01/05/2026 and join a program designed to elevate your practice, expand your scope, and reward your commitment with a professional home that respects your time and talents. This is more than a assignment; it’s a pathway to lasting impact within a dedicated network that values your skill, your judgment, and your voice in care decisions.

Washington’s Aberdeen offers a distinctive blend of community warmth and outdoor wonder. Work in a location where daily life centers on supportive colleagues and accessible services, with the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty as a backdrop. You’ll have opportunities to enjoy nearby coastal views, forested trails, and seasonal recreation that refreshes mind and body after demanding shifts. The region also provides a gateway to the broader U.S. travel program, giving you exposure to diverse clinical settings and patient populations while maintaining the stability of a robust support structure. Whether you’re drawn to the intimate feel of a tight-knit hospital team or the dynamic rhythm of travel assignments across multiple facilities, this role is designed to balance professional challenge with personal well-being and growth.

In this role, you’ll lead critical responsibilities that define expert respiratory care. Core duties include comprehensive patient assessment and monitoring of respiratory status, administration and optimization of inhaled therapies, and airway clearance techniques tailored to individual needs. You’ll manage ventilator weaning and noninvasive support, score and interpret arterial blood gases, and collaborate with physicians and nurses to adjust care plans. Your leadership will extend to education and coaching for patients, families, and junior staff, reinforcing best practices in infection control and safety. The position accommodates professional development by encouraging specialty certifications, participating in protocol reviews, and pursuing evidence-based improvements that advance the respiratory program. The program offers clear pathways for advancement within the specialty, enabling you to broaden your clinical repertoire and contribute to quality initiatives that shape patient outcomes.

To support your work and your life, we’re offering competitive benefits that recognize the demanding nature of travel nursing. Expect a weekly pay range of $1,803–$1,854, with guaranteed hours at 36 per week, ensuring dependable income as you plan ahead. The role includes sign-on incentives and housing assistance designed to ease relocation and lodging logistics, so you can focus on patient care rather than paperwork. Contract extensions are available, providing continuity with trusted teams and facilities while expanding your exposure to varied clinical environments. In addition, you’ll receive comprehensive support from a dedicated travel program, including 24/7 assistance while you’re on assignment. Our emphasis on robust support means you’ll have guidance for onboarding, credentialing, shift scheduling, and clinical mentoring whenever you need it, making every assignment smoother and more rewarding.

Company values center on empowering staff, fostering career advancement, and cultivating a supportive, collaborative workplace. We’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where your clinical judgment is respected, your professional goals are heard, and your well-being is prioritized. You’ll find mentors who invest in your growth, leadership opportunities that recognize your expertise, and a culture that celebrates continuous learning. This commitment to your development extends beyond the immediate assignment, with resources for ongoing education, certifications, and cross-site experiences that strengthen your resume and confidence as a respiratory professional.

If you’re ready to elevate your practice, to work with teams that honor your expertise, and to explore Washington’s dramatic landscapes while advancing your career, we invite you to apply. This is your chance to join a company that values your contribution and is dedicated to your professional development, offering stability, growth, and the adventure of travel nursing in one compelling package.
