Mid Level
Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Respiratory Therapist in Hermiston, Oregon, where your expertise breathes new life into patients and strengthens families during critical moments. This dedicated travel assignment places you at the forefront of advanced respiratory care, empowering you to deliver life-saving therapies with precision, empathy, and leadership. You’ll collaborate with physicians, nurses, and therapists across acute and post-acute settings, applying evidence-based techniques, optimizing ventilation, and guiding families through care plans. Beginning on 02/18/2026 for a number of weeks, this assignment offers guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $1,820-$1,897, recognizing your skill and commitment from day one.
Hermiston sits in the heart of scenic eastern Oregon, offering a welcoming community, rich outdoor recreation, and a strategic hub for travel assignments across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Working in Hermiston means steady professional growth while enjoying the region’s unique blend of small-town warmth and modern amenities. For those who crave exploration, this role also provides opportunities to work in various locations across the United States, broadening your professional footprint and enriching your experience. In Oregon, you’ll be close to breathtaking landscapes—Columbia River vistas, the Blue Mountains, and the Painted Hills—where weekend adventures can recharge you after a shift. The state’s diverse environments foster adaptability and broaden clinical exposure, from community hospitals to larger regional centers, all within reach, enhancing your ability to manage a wide range of respiratory conditions with confidence and versatility.
As a Respiratory Therapist in this assignment, you will assess, plan, implement, and evaluate respiratory care for adult patients and, when appropriate, pediatric patients. Primary responsibilities include initiating and adjusting ventilator support, delivering bronchodilator and mucolytic therapies, administering aerosols and chest physiotherapy, performing airway clearance techniques, and conducting arterial blood gas analyses and capnography as needed. You’ll monitor patient response, titrate therapy to target goals, manage suctioning and humidification systems, and troubleshoot respiratory equipment to ensure safe, effective therapy around the clock. Clear documentation in the electronic medical record will be precise and timely, with thorough handoffs to the care team to ensure continuity and safety of care.
This role offers significant professional growth: you’ll expand your proficiency with advanced ventilator modes, noninvasive support, evolving practice guidelines, and participation in quality improvement initiatives. The assignment is designed to promote ongoing learning, with access to clinical education resources, mentorship from experienced colleagues, and opportunities to pursue additional certifications within the contract framework. You will also have the option to extend the assignment, potentially increasing continuity of care for patients and strengthening your professional relationships.
Benefits include a competitive compensation package, a sign-on bonus where applicable, housing assistance or stipends, and extension opportunities that allow you to maximize your time with the company and continuity of care for patients. In addition, you’ll receive comprehensive support from a dedicated 24/7 traveler support team, ensuring you’re never alone on the road. Travel life is supported with onboarding, orientation, and ongoing resources designed to minimize friction so you can focus on patient care.
Our company is built on empowering clinicians to advance their careers within a supportive, collaborative environment. We value courage, integrity, and teamwork, encouraging clinicians to take on leadership roles, share knowledge, and mentor peers. We’re committed to your well-being, offering resources for work-life balance, robust safety protocols, and a culture that respects your expertise and contributions. This is more than a job—it’s a pathway to growing your clinical skills, broadening your professional network, and advancing your career in a way that aligns with your goals and commitments.
