Job Description & Requirements
Registered Respiratory Therapist - (RRT)
StartDate: ASAP Available Shifts: 8/10/12 D/E/N Pay Rate: $2338.00 - $2409.00
This Temp Direct Respiratory Therapist opportunity is based in Gallup, New Mexico, a distinctive Southwestern community celebrated for its dramatic desert landscapes, iconic red rock formations, and deeply rooted Native American culture. Situated along historic Route 66, Gallup offers a truly immersive cultural experience, with art galleries, trading posts, and community events that highlight traditional Navajo and Zuni craftsmanship, jewelry, and textiles. Travelers often enjoy exploring nearby outdoor attractions, including hiking and photography around the red rock areas, scenic drives, and easy access to broader New Mexico destinations for weekend excursions. The area’s rich history and strong sense of community make it an appealing location for professionals seeking both adventure and meaningful work. The facility you will join serves a diverse patient population with a wide range of acuity, providing you with a robust clinical environment to develop and showcase your skills. As an RRT, you will be an integral part of a multidisciplinary team that values collaboration, clear communication, and patient-centered care. The work setting includes acute inpatient units, intensive care, emergency, and trauma services, giving you exposure to a broad spectrum of clinical situations and procedures that can help strengthen your resume and deepen your expertise. In this role, you will provide comprehensive respiratory care across the age spectrum, from pediatrics to adults. Daily responsibilities commonly include conducting thorough respiratory assessments, initiating and managing oxygen therapy and non-invasive ventilation, and administering respiratory medications such as bronchodilators and inhaled therapies. You will perform and interpret arterial blood gas analyses, support ventilator management in the ICU, and respond rapidly to emergent situations in the ED and trauma areas. Routine tasks also include performing ECG/EKGs as needed, assisting with patient transport while safely maintaining ventilatory support, and documenting all care in the electronic medical record in a timely and accurate manner. Your typical schedule will involve 8-, 10-, or 12-hour tours, with assignments that may include days, nights, weekends, and federal holidays, as well as primary coverage, on-call responsibilities, and surge shifts. Exact shift schedules and tour assignments are determined by the Government, requiring adaptability and a professional approach to changing demands. Expected work hours average about 40 hours per week, with on-call availability as needed to support coverage needs. The patient mix includes acute medical-surgical cases, critically ill patients in the intensive care setting, pediatric patients with respiratory illnesses, and emergency and trauma cases. While specific patient ratios and bed counts may vary by unit and census, you can anticipate working in a setting where respiratory therapists are actively engaged in rapid assessments, code and rapid response calls, and collaborative care planning with physicians, nurses, and other allied health professionals. Clinically, this assignment offers the opportunity to refine advanced respiratory skills, including ventilator management for complex patients, participation in multidisciplinary rounds, and involvement with evidence-based respiratory protocols aimed at improving outcomes. The environment encourages professional growth through exposure to diverse diagnoses, including chronic lung disease, acute respiratory failure, asthma, COPD, and trauma-related respiratory compromise. Beyond the clinical work, Gallup’s unique cultural landscape and access to outdoor recreation can make this a rewarding experience both professionally and personally. Travelers often appreciate the chance to experience the region’s sunsets, local cuisine influenced by Native and Hispanic traditions, and community events that reflect the area’s heritage. The combination of high-impact clinical practice and rich local culture creates a compelling setting for respiratory therapists seeking to expand their skills while enjoying a memorable Southwest assignment.
