Starting 03/23/2026 for a multi-week assignment, you’ll have the chance to deepen clinical proficiency, expand your leadership presence, and create lasting impacts in a community that values compassionate care and medical excellence. Vermont’s serene charm complements the professional journey—picturesque landscapes, vibrant local culture, and a high quality of life. Burlington sits beside a pristine lakefront with lively shops, eateries, and waterfront trails, while the broader state offers the beauty of the Green Mountains, fall foliage, and outdoor adventures.

Location Benefits
Burlington blends small-city warmth with cosmopolitan amenities, offering convenient access to outdoor recreation, riverfront parks, farmers markets, and cultural events.

Beyond Burlington, you can explore a spectrum of assignments across the United States, experiencing urban centers, suburban communities, and regional facilities that broaden your clinical perspective. The travel program is designed to streamline transitions, with housing assistance and travel logistics bundled to reduce stress and maximize time for patient care and personal exploration. Expect competitive pay, with weekly earnings of $2,548 to $2,659, and the opportunity to participate in contract extensions that align with your career goals. The combination of Vermont’s natural beauty and nationwide opportunities makes this role uniquely rewarding, enabling you to contribute meaningfully while enjoying the rich experiences that travel healthcare can offer.
Role Specifics and Benefits
Key responsibilities include assessing respiratory status, initiating and adjusting airway clearance and ventilation therapies, optimizing mechanical ventilation settings, delivering aerosolized and inhaled medications, and interpreting arterial blood gases to guide treatment decisions. You’ll lead and participate in patient rounds, educate patients and families about respiratory care plans, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure seamless, evidence-based practice. The position supports professional growth through ongoing clinical mentorship, access to specialized continuing education, and the potential to advance into senior or leadership roles as you accumulate experience. Benefits are designed to be competitive and comprehensive: a starting weekly pay range of $2,548-$2,659 with the potential for performance-based enhancements, a welcome or completion bonus where applicable, and housing assistance to ease relocation and housing search. Extension opportunities allow you to extend your assignment if you enjoy the environment, patient mix, and team dynamics. The program also provides robust 24/7 support for traveling clinicians, ensuring you have reliable assistance for travel logistics, clinical questions, and personal needs while on assignment. In addition, you’ll benefit from a comprehensive support network including credentialing assistance, streamlined credential maintenance, and access to resources that promote work-life balance and clinician well-being.
