Respiratory Therapist (RT)

Build Your Own Schedule

ShiftKey empowers independent respiratory therapists to take control of their careers by offering a platform to bid on per diem shifts posted by a vast network of facilities. Unlike traditional employment, this model allows you to select the facilities you want, choose the days you want to work, and bid the rate you want. Whether you are seeking better work-life balance, need Mondays off, or simply want to earn extra income alongside another job, ShiftKey enables you to work as little or as much as you like.

About the Role

Respiratory therapists are essential members of a facility's medical team, dedicated to helping patients treat and manage cardio-pulmonary disease and disorders. In this role, you will conduct, perform, and analyze pulmonary function tests, assist physicians and nurses in creating treatment plans, and administer aerosol medications and chest physical therapy. You will also play a key educational role by teaching patients how to use equipment and administer medications independently.

Why Choose ShiftKey

Beyond the flexibility to curate your own schedule, ShiftKey partners with Stride Health to provide healthcare professionals access to a portable benefits platform. This includes affordable options for health, dental, vision, and life insurance. Users frequently praise the app for its responsiveness and the ability to juggle work around hectic personal schedules, such as grad school or family life.

Application Process

To get started, you must hold a high school diploma or GED and possess a valid respiratory therapist license in the state of Louisiana. Once these requirements are met, you can begin browsing available shifts and bidding on opportunities that fit your criteria.
