Albany, OR
Contracted
Samaritan Albany General Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Registered Respiratory Therapist in Albany, Oregon, where your expertise delivers life‑changing care every shift and helps families navigate the path to recovery with confidence. This specialty-anchored travel opportunity invites you to apply your clinical precision—from comprehensive patient assessment and airway management to weaning strategies and ventilator support—while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team that shares your commitment to excellence. As you step into this role, imagine the impact you can make on patients who rely on your skill, empathy, and leadership. This assignment begins December 18, 2025, and runs for multiple weeks, with a guaranteed 36 hours per week and a weekly pay range of $1,960 to $2,014, reflecting your experience, shift patterns, and potential extension opportunities. The position is designed to honor your expertise while offering flexibility, growth, and security through a structured travel program that values your contribution as much as your well‑being.
Oregon’s Albany region invites you to relish not only meaningful clinical work but also a rich quality of life. Nestled in the Willamette Valley, Albany blends small‑town charm with convenient access to larger urban hubs, outdoor recreation, and cultural offerings. You’ll have the chance to experience Oregon’s famed natural beauty—from lush rivers and pine‑lined trails to nearby banking of volcanic vistas—while serving diverse patient populations. The state’s scenic backdrop becomes the backdrop to your professional story, offering weekend opportunities for hiking, winery visits in the nearby valley, and scenic drives along pristine coastlines or mountain passes. The assignment also presents the possibility of working in other locations across the U.S. should travel needs evolve, expanding your professional horizons while maintaining the core support and benefits you expect from a trusted travel partner.
Location benefits go beyond the scenic surroundings. Albany provides a welcoming community, modern facilities, and access to quality housing options for traveling clinicians. You’ll join a supportive clinical environment that values collaboration, continual learning, and evidence‑based practice. The broader opportunity to rotate through additional locations across the United States during other assignments means you can broaden your clinical experience—from acute care settings to specialized units—while enjoying consistent pay and consistent benefits. The role is structured to help you balance clinical intensity with personal well‑being, featuring predictable scheduling, minimal disruption to personal plans, and the chance to build lasting professional relationships in a setting that prioritizes patient outcomes and staff development.
Role specifics and benefits
- Core responsibilities: perform comprehensive respiratory care assessments, administer therapies (nebulized medications, bronchodilators, and airway clearance techniques), manage ventilated patients, execute weaning protocols, interpret capnography and ABG results, monitor patient response, titrate therapy, document thoroughly, and participate in rounding and care planning. You will educate patients and families on therapy plans, respiratory devices, and mobilization strategies, while contributing to quality‑improvement initiatives and protocol development. You’ll collaborate with physicians, nurses, and therapists to optimize outcomes for post‑operative, trauma, and medically complex patients.
- Professional growth: leverage this experience to deepen expertise within the respiratory specialty, pursue advanced certifications, and develop leadership capabilities through mentoring and interdisciplinary collaboration. The program supports ongoing learning, clinical refinement, and opportunities to assume extended assignments or new client partnerships as you demonstrate impact and reliability.
- Competitive benefits: in addition to a compelling weekly pay range, you’ll have access to a bonus structure that rewards consistent performance and milestone completions, helping you maximize your earnings. Housing assistance is provided to ease relocation logistics, with options tailored to your preferences and family needs. Extension opportunities are available as assignments progress, enabling you to extend your stay in Albany or transition to other exciting locations with minimal disruption.
- Comprehensive support: travel care comes with 24/7 support from a dedicated team. This includes clinical and logistical assistance, ride‑along coordination for shifts, accommodation arrangements, and reliable communication channels to address any concerns promptly. You’ll have real‑time access to help and resources while you travel, ensuring you feel secure and supported throughout every assignment.
- Work structure and guarantees: the contract offers a stable 36 hours per week and predictable scheduling to support your planning. The rate range of $1,960–$2,014 per week reflects shift differentials and assignment specifics, with final terms confirmed during onboarding. You’ll benefit from a transparent framework that respects your skills, respects your time, and recognizes the value you bring to the patient’s journey.
