Embark on a pivotal, life-changing path as a Registered Respiratory Therapist in Plattsburgh, New York. This weeks-long assignment invites you to apply advanced respiratory care, lead therapy plans, and partner with physicians and nurses to stabilize patients, optimize ventilation, and drive meaningful outcomes. Your expertise in assessment, airway management, ventilator weaning, chest physiotherapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation will empower families and elevate the standard of care you deliver on every shift. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, value clinical excellence, and are motivated by the chance to influence patient journeys for the better, this opportunity is designed for you. You’ll join a compassionate team that respects expertise and celebrates the impact respiratory care has on recovery, mobility, and quality of life.
New York State offers a tapestry of natural beauty and cultural richness that can enrich your professional journey. Plattsburgh sits along the shimmering edge of Lake Champlain and is a gateway to the Adirondack Mountains, where autumn foliage paints the hills in gold and crimson, winters invite outdoor adventures, and summers invite lakeside recreation. The region’s outdoors inspire balance and resilience, while nearby cultural venues, museums, historic sites, and vibrant communities broaden your personal and professional horizons. The state’s diverse landscapes—from river valleys to mountain ranges—provide opportunities to recharge between shifts, connect with local residents, and discover iconic experiences such as Lake Placid’s Olympic heritage, Whiteface Mountain vistas, and the tranquil beauty that frames everyday life in upstate New York. This setting complements the clinical focus of your role, offering a harmonious blend of professional intensity and regional charm.
Location benefits extend beyond Plattsburgh, with the potential to work in various locations across the United States. You’ll find dynamic exposure to a spectrum of hospital types, patient populations, and care models, all while enjoying a robust support network designed for travel clinicians. The assignment emphasizes flexibility and growth—enabling you to refine pulmonary rehabilitation, critical care, and acute-care competencies while expanding professional connections nationwide. Whether you prefer staying local for a portion of the contract or embracing new environments, there is a clear pathway to broaden your skill set, pursue specialty certifications, and advance your career through targeted education and mentorship. The experience translates across settings, opening doors to leadership roles, education, and broader clinical influence as you build a resilient portfolio.
Role specifics and benefits are crafted to recognize your expertise and fuel your professional journey. Core responsibilities include evaluating respiratory status, initiating and titrating therapies (nebulized medications, high-flow therapy, noninvasive ventilation), guiding invasive ventilation management, performing arterial blood gas analyses, and applying evidence-based weaning protocols. You’ll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to tailor care plans, monitor for complications, participate in rapid-response events, and document outcomes with precision in electronic medical records. The role offers a clearly defined pathway to broaden your practice in pulmonary rehab and critical care, with ongoing opportunities to pursue board certification support and specialty experiences. In addition to competitive weekly pay ranging from $2,393 to $2,518, this weeks-long assignment begins on 12/15/2025 and operates without guaranteed hours, aligning scheduling with patient census and clinical needs. You’ll have access to a comprehensive package that includes a thoughtful bonus program, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions should both you and the facility recognize mutual value. A dedicated travel coordination team and 24/7 support are available to guide you through logistics, shifts, and any clinical questions, ensuring you feel secure and supported as you travel between assignments and sites.
Company values emphasize empowering staff, advancing careers, and fostering a supportive, inclusive work environment.
