Description

Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) with a trusted healthcare partner, delivering expert respiratory care that saves breath, supports healing, and elevates patient outcomes across diverse clinical settings. As you begin this travel assignment starting January 1, 2026, your specialized skill set—rooted in rigorous RRT standards—will guide ventilator management, airway strategies, secretion clearance, and comprehensive patient education. Imagine partnering with physicians, nurses, and therapy teams to optimize therapy plans, reduce complications, and empower patients and families to participate actively in recovery. This is your opportunity to impact lives profoundly, in dynamic environments that challenge and grow your practice while you explore new communities and cultures through travel nursing. Oklahoma’s open skies and welcoming towns provide a backdrop for meaningful work and personal renewal, and, as you gain experience, you’ll carry that expertise into more complex cases and leadership opportunities within a broad network of partner facilities. Beautiful places in Oklahoma From red rock canyons and the rugged beauty of the Wichita Mountains to serene lakes and sprawling prairie sunsets, Oklahoma offers rich outdoor experiences to complement your professional journey. Lawton sits near Fort Sill and a short drive from lakes, trails, and wildlife refuges that invite a weekend of exploration after a rewarding shift. Whether you’re hiking scenic bluffs, enjoying water sports on tranquil waters, or savoring local culture and cuisine, Oklahoma presents a welcoming backdrop for healthcare professionals who value balance, community, and a sense of discovery. Location Benefits This assignment places you in Lawton, Oklahoma, a community renowned for its hospitality and accessibility to regional hubs. Lawton serves as a practical base for travel clinicians who want steady, rewarding work with the option to extend to other states and facilities within a broad national network. You’ll have exposure to a variety of patient populations and clinical settings, enriching your resume and sharpening your clinical judgment.

Role Specifics and Benefits - Core responsibilities: Provide comprehensive respiratory care to patients across the continuum of care, including assessment of respiratory status, initiation and management of therapy (inhaled medications, airway clearance techniques, and humidification), ventilator management and weaning protocols, arterial blood gas sampling and interpretation, and collaboration with physicians, nurses, and therapists to implement evidence-based care plans. Document assessments, therapies, responses, and any safety concerns; participate in interdisciplinary rounds; and educate patients and families about treatment plans, discharge instructions, and home care considerations. - Professional growth: Embrace a pathway for credentialed advancement, with opportunities to develop advanced techniques in airway management, pulmonary rehab concepts, and pediatric-to-geriatric respiratory care. Access continuing education resources, mentorship from seasoned RRTs, and potential leadership roles within facilities and the broader network. Your demonstrated expertise will position you for future assignments with increased responsibility and specialized clinical rotations. - Benefits and compensation: Competitive weekly pay within the stated range, plus attractive housing options and stipends to ease relocation. Explore bonus structures and sign-on incentives as part of your package, with the chance to extend contracts to continue contributing to patient care across locations. You’ll also benefit from extension opportunities, allowing you to prolong successful assignments or transition to new facilities as you prefer. - Support and security: Rely on 24/7 support from the travel program, including onboarding assistance, scheduling coordination, credentialing help, and real-time problem solving during your assignments. This comprehensive support is designed to ensure you feel valued, protected, and empowered as you navigate different clinical environments. - Work-life considerations: Flexible shift patterns, opportunities to curate a schedule that balances clinical intensity with rest, and access to local resources that support wellness and family life.
