    Default job background
    Description
    Your job is more than a job

    One-of-a-kind care comes from one-of-a-kind people. As a respiratory therapist, you understand that you may be the lifeline for patients struggling to breathe. It takes tireless dedication that goes beyond nebulizers and ventilators.

    Cardiopulmonary disorders are life-challenging and as a respiratory therapist and a human being, your skillset determines arterial puncture or cannulation, artificial airway types and sizes, initial ventilatory settings for mechanical ventilation, ventilator changes based on established parameters and patient assignments to staff based on skills inventory.

    That's no small task.


    There's no feeling like the feeling of "I can't breathe." You wear your compassion on your sleeve every time you hear those words from a child suffering with asthma to an elderly patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

    It's why you do what you do. And that's what we love about you.

    Your experiences, knowledge, skills, your empathy, compassion, personality, all of it adds up to you.

    And we're excited to get to know you and find out what you'll bring to this critical respiratory therapist role.

    Your Everyday


    Demonstrate proficiency in critical and general care procedures including patient assessment, ventilator management, arterial punctures, code III response, bronchoscopy assistance, intubation, monitoring equipment, airway management, endo/nasotracheal suctioning, and arterial line placement, aerosol therapy, IPPB, CPT, oxygen therapy, incentive spirometry, aerochamber/inhaler, and peak flow meters.


    Organize and set priorities while assuring safe operation of all equipment needed for patient care and procedures within the established guidelines and timeframes.

    Manage equipment/supply needs appropriately.

    Demonstrate quality improvement commitment through accurate monitoring, documentation, and incidents.

    Participate in planning and problem solving.

    Adhere to BSI policies at all times.

    Perform treatments using aseptic technique when required.

    Follow, instruct and enforce others on infection control policies and procedures.

    Maintain a safe environment for everyone recognizing and taking action to correct unsafe conditions utilizing proper channels of communication.

    Communicate information regarding treatments ensuring patient's or family members understanding, comprehension and active participation.
