As a Respiratory Therapist specializing in adult, pediatric, and neonatal respiratory care, you’ll deliver high-impact therapy across acute care settings, influence patient outcomes through evidence-based practice, and grow your professional expertise in a fast-paced travel assignment. Beginning March 23, 2026, you’ll embark on a several-week journey that combines hands-on patient care with opportunities to expand your clinical horizons, allowing you to refine your skills while enjoying the challenge and variety that comes with travel nursing.

Massena sits along the St. Lawrence River in northern New York, offering a blend of small-town warmth and outdoor adventure. The region’s natural beauty invites exploration—from scenic riverfront strolls and nearby Adirondack foothills to seasonal activities that welcome hikers, skiers, and nature lovers alike. The state of New York is renowned for its cultural vibrancy, dining, and world-class attractions, providing enriching experiences beyond the hospital walls. This particular assignment also opens the door to working in multiple locations across the U.S., expanding your professional footprint and exposing you to diverse clinical environments that deepen your expertise and resilience as a clinician.
Role Specifics and Benefits: In this travel assignment, you’ll provide comprehensive respiratory care as a key member of the patient-care team. Core responsibilities include assessing patient respiratory status, administering therapies such as inhaled bronchodilators, humidified therapies, and adjunct modalities; managing and weaning patients from mechanical ventilation in collaboration with the care team; initiating and interpreting arterial blood gases, calibrating and troubleshooting ventilators, and adjusting respiratory care plans based on response and orders. You’ll educate patients and families about treatments, ensure accurate documentation in electronic health records, and participate in interdisciplinary rounds to align respiratory strategies with overall care goals. The position offers substantial opportunities for professional growth within the respiratory therapy specialty, including advanced airway management, sedation considerations in collaboration with physicians, and potential pathways toward leadership or certification. Competitive benefits are highlighted, including a sign-on or completion bonus where applicable, robust housing assistance to simplify your transition, and the potential for contract extensions that provide continuity and added earning opportunities. The compensation aligns with the role’s complexity and responsibilities, with weekly pay ranging from $2,090 to $2,206. While the assignment lists a certain duration, hours are not guaranteed in advance (0.0 guaranteed hours) and schedules can vary week to week; extension opportunities are designed to reward performance, teamwork, and continued alignment with patient care needs. You’ll receive comprehensive support 24/7 as you travel with the company, including access to a dedicated operations team for scheduling, housing logistics, credentialing assistance, and clinical support, ensuring you’re never alone on the road.
