Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Respiratory Therapist in Lawton, Oklahoma, and become part of a mission-driven team shaping outcomes for patients who rely on expert respiratory care. This opportunity is crafted for dedicated professionals who bring precision, empathy, and a collaborative spirit to the bedside. You’ll deliver critical therapies, monitor complex ventilated patients, administer inhaled medications, and guide families through care plans with clarity and warmth. Beginning March 16, 2026, this travel assignment is designed to support your growth across a spectrum of clinical scenarios, with a compensation package presented weekly in the range of $1,508 to $1,544. While the program lists Weeks as the duration, the true value lies in the chance to extend with trusted facilities, expand your resume, and build lasting professional relationships. Hours are not guaranteed (0.0), but you’ll have access to a well-structured schedule and a responsive team to help align shifts with patient needs and your preferences. Compensation figures are estimates and may vary; final packages will be confirmed during the hiring process.

Oklahoma’s Lawton location offers a compelling blend of professional opportunity and everyday inspiration. Lawton sits near the scenic Wichita Mountains and is gateway to lakes, trails, and outdoor escapes that refresh both mind and body after demanding shifts. Fort Sill’s presence adds a dynamic healthcare community with active collaboration between hospital teams and military medicine, creating unique experiences in critical care, post-anesthesia recovery, and inpatient rehabilitation settings. Beyond the hospital walls, you’ll discover welcoming neighborhoods, affordable living, and a pace of life that makes it feasible to unwind with family and friends after a rewarding day. The state’s natural beauty and rich regional culture provide a backdrop that honors your commitment to care while nourishing your well-being. And for those who crave variety, the program offers opportunities to work in multiple locations across the U.S., opening doors to new clinical environments, different patient populations, and expanded professional networks—an ideal path for a lifelong learner seeking breadth as well as depth in respiratory therapy.

In this role, you’ll manage a range of responsibilities central to high-quality respiratory care. You’ll evaluate patients’ respiratory status, administer bronchodilators, perform arterial blood gas sampling and interpretation, conduct pulmonary function testing, and tailor therapy plans to acute and chronic conditions. You’ll operate and troubleshoot ventilators, deliver CPAP and BiPAP therapy, optimize oxygen delivery, and participate in weaning protocols under physician oversight. Collaboration is key: you’ll interface with physicians, nurses, therapists, and respiratory care team leaders to ensure seamless, patient-centered care. You’ll document care accurately, educate patients and families about treatments and devices, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives. The role invites ongoing professional growth—bereft of routine limitations—through cross-training, credentialing support, and potential extension opportunities that acknowledge your reliability and skill.

As you advance, you’ll reap a suite of competitive benefits designed to support you throughout travel assignments. A robust signing you might call a “bonus” can complement your weekly pay, and housing assistance is provided to ease relocation and living logistics. The program emphasizes flexible extensions, allowing you to deepen your experience with facilities that recognize your contributions and want you to stay longer. Comprehensive support is a hallmark: you’ll receive 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel support team, ensuring you’re never alone on the road or at the point of care. You’ll have access to clinical mentors, resources for continuing education, and a community that champions your clinical judgment while protecting your well-being during demanding assignments.

We value open communication, professional autonomy, and the belief that your expertise should translate into meaningful impact for patients and families.
