What does a PRN respiratory therapist do?

A PRN Respiratory Therapist provides respiratory care to patients on an as-needed basis, rather than working a regular full-time schedule. They assess, treat, and care for patients with breathing or cardiopulmonary disorders in a variety of healthcare settings. PRN (pro re nata) positions offer flexibility, allowing therapists to fill staffing gaps or provide additional support during busy times. Their responsibilities include administering oxygen, managing ventilators, performing diagnostic tests, and educating patients about respiratory health.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a PRN respiratory therapist?

To thrive as a PRN Respiratory Therapist, you need a solid background in respiratory care, clinical assessment, and patient management, usually supported by an associate's or bachelor's degree in respiratory therapy and state licensure. Familiarity with ventilators, oxygen delivery systems, arterial blood gas analyzers, and certifications like RRT or CRT are typically required. Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you adapt quickly and work efficiently in diverse clinical settings. These skills ensure the ability to deliver safe, timely respiratory interventions and maintain high standards of patient care, even on an as-needed basis.

What are the typical scheduling expectations and flexibility for a PRN respiratory therapist position?

As a PRN (pro re nata or 'as needed') Respiratory Therapist, you can expect a flexible work schedule, often filling in during staff shortages, high census periods, or weekends. While this flexibility is appealing for those seeking work-life balance or supplemental income, it also means your hours may vary and shifts can be assigned with short notice. It's common to work in multiple departments or units, adapting quickly to different teams and patient populations. PRN roles provide valuable experience in diverse clinical settings and can sometimes lead to full-time opportunities if desired.

About PRN Healthcare

Our story starts with a 21-year-old CNA named Pete Hietpas. Pete was diligently working in eastern Wisconsin with a variety of staffing agencies, but something was missing. He loved caring for his patients, but felt that staffing agencies were exchanging compassion for competitiveness. He was determined to change that. As a result, he started Nurses PRN in 1995 to become a model for the healthcare staffing industry – being competitive in the marketplace, yet still maintaining a compassionate heart.


Over the years Nurses PRN grew and evolved as a nationwide healthcare staffing company, and therefore wanted to be more inclusive to all valued healthcare professionals: nurses, allied health, locum tenens, CNAs, and more. This lead to the introduction of PRN Healthcare, which is inclusive of Nurses PRN and all of our other healthcare divisions.


Our mission to create authentic, meaningful relationships with our healthcare professionals helps us set them up for success in their dream assignment, whether that be a travel contract, local contract, or per diem shift. This is all driven by the simple idea that better care for our healthcare workers, leads to better patient care – and this is all supported by a dedicated internal staff.


Our company culture is strongly backed by faith-based values and activities, to remind us that our success provides us the opportunity to serve and give back to our communities. This is the spirit of caregiving. This is PRN Healthcare.
