Location Benefits: Lincoln, Nebraska offers a compelling blend of professional opportunity and high quality of life. You’ll work in a city with a growing healthcare network, modern facilities, and a supportive community that values patient-centered care. The cost of living is favorable, housing is accessible, and amenities—from parks to cultural events—provide a balanced backdrop for demanding clinical work. In addition, this role offers the flexibility to work in various locations across the United States, exposing you to a spectrum of hospital environments, patient populations, and clinical protocols. Each assignment across the country can expand your expertise in airway management, high-acuity respiratory support, and evidence-based therapies, while also building a broad professional network.

Role Specifics and Benefits: In this role, you’ll perform essential responsibilities that drive patient recovery and comfort. Core duties include assessing patients with a range of thoracic conditions, administering prescribed therapies such as aerosolized meds, chest physiotherapy, and noninvasive ventilation, and monitoring responses to treatment with timely documentation in electronic medical records. You’ll collaborate closely with physicians, nurses, and respiratory care teams to develop and adjust treatment plans, participate in rounds, and provide critical patient and family education on disease management, inhaler technique, oxygen therapy, and post-discharge care. The position emphasizes professional growth within the respiratory specialty—opportunities to deepen expertise in neonatal, pediatric, adult, or critical care respiratory care, plus exposure to cutting-edge devices and protocols. You’ll be eligible for competitive benefits, including a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities that align with your career goals. A key pillar of this assignment is comprehensive support: 24/7 assistance while you travel with the company, ensuring you have reliable backup for relocations, shifts, and any on-the-road needs. Weekly pay ranges from $1,962 to $2,062, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week, and the option to extend assignments to maximize continuity of care and earnings.
