Step into the role of a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) and become an essential partner in compassionate, high-quality care—right in Michigan’s dynamic capital region. This opportunity places you at the forefront of respiratory therapy, applying advanced assessment, intervention, and ventilator management to support patients across acute care settings. As an RRT, you’ll elevate outcomes through precise therapy plans, collaborative problem solving, and patient education that empowers families and communities. Imagine the impact you’ll have helping patients recover breath, restore confidence, and return to what matters most. Separately, you can also explore the beauty and vitality of Michigan, where Lansing’s skyline meets scenic parks along the Grand River, and where nearby Lake Michigan shores, cultural events, and a generous mix of urban and outdoor experiences invite you to unwind after meaningful shifts.
Location benefits are twofold. First, the Lansing area offers a thriving medical community with access to diverse care settings, mentoring from seasoned clinicians, and opportunities to refine critical respiratory skills in fast-paced environments. Second, this position also opens the door to assignments across various locations in the United States, offering you the chance to sharpen your clinical expertise while exploring new regions. You’ll enjoy the advantages of working in a state with rich interpretive health resources, a supportive network for travel clinicians, and the ability to immerse yourself in communities known for friendly residents, high-quality living, and accessible recreation—from parks and cycling paths to regional dining and cultural experiences. Whether you stay in Michigan or roam to other locations, you’ll have a robust framework to learn, grow, and contribute meaningfully.
Role specifics and benefits come together to create an engaging, growth-oriented travel assignment. As a Respiratory Therapist, you will be responsible for performing comprehensive respiratory care interventions—including evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment planning for patients with diverse pulmonary needs. Responsibilities will include initiating and adjusting ventilator support, delivering aerosolized therapies, conducting arterial blood gas analysis, monitoring patients’ responses to therapy, and collaborating with physicians, nurses, and support staff to optimize outcomes. You’ll interpret respiratory data, initiate weaning protocols when appropriate, and deliver clear, compassionate patient and family education. The role also invites you to participate in quality improvement initiatives, contribute to evidence-based practice, and engage in professional development within the respiratory care specialty. This assignment emphasizes steady, reliable practice while presenting opportunities for specialization, leadership support, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
Benefits for this position are designed to be competitive and comprehensive. You’ll receive weekly pay in the range of $1,592–$1,652, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week, reflecting a stable schedule across weeks of employment. In addition to competitive compensation, the package includes housing assistance to ease transition to new locations, making travel seamless and comfortable. There are also extension opportunities—meaning you can continue to grow within the company through renewed contracts that align with your career goals. You’ll have access to a bonus structure tied to performance or assignment milestones, designed to acknowledge your expertise and dedication. Importantly, 24/7 support is available as you travel with the company, ensuring you have reliable help whenever you need it—from onboarding through completion of your assignment. The organization is committed to providing the resources, mentorship, and administrative backing that enable you to deliver exceptional care without administrative friction.
Company values emphasize empowering staff and fostering a culture that advances careers while maintaining a supportive, collaborative environment. You’ll join a team that prioritizes ongoing education, hands-on mentorship, and transparent communication to help you expand your clinical repertoire. Whether you’re aiming to deepen proficiency with advanced ventilation strategies, broaden your exposure to diverse patient populations, or pursue leadership pathways within respiratory therapy, this employer offers a framework that respects your aspirations and recognizes your expertise. The environment promotes work-life integration, peer-to-peer support, and a culture where your insights contribute to improved patient outcomes and departmental success.
If you’re ready to embark on a rewarding journey that blends clinical excellence with personal growth, this opportunity invites you to apply.
