About The Position

Embark on a rewarding journey as a Travel Respiratory Therapist in Nebraska, Omaha, and bring expert care to patients while exploring new clinical settings. In this specialty, your expertise in ventilation management, airway clearance, and critical respiratory assessments will directly influence outcomes for adults, pediatrics, and neonates alike. Start date February 9, 2026, and join a contract that runs for several weeks with the security of guaranteed 36 hours per week. You’ll earn a competitive weekly rate between 1,849 and 1,920 dollars, with opportunities to extend and grow within your field. This role isn't just a assignment—it’s a pathway to broaden your reach, deepen your clinical instincts, and make a measurable difference in diverse care environments. Nebraska’s capital area blends Midwestern hospitality with rich cultural offerings and easy access to natural beauty. Omaha’s riverfront, world-class museums, and dynamic culinary scene create a welcoming home base as you rotate through facilities. Beyond the city, you’ll be positioned to appreciate the state’s scenic landscapes, from the Missouri River bluffs to expansive prairies and rolling sandhills. Nebraska also charms with its wide-open skies and serene parks, perfect for restorative downtime after demanding shifts. And within reach are famed attractions such as the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, and nearby historic towns that offer weekend exploration. For professionals who crave variety, the location supports travel across the U.S., enabling you to experience urban hubs, coastal communities, and rural hospitals—each offering unique clinical challenges and opportunities to refine your practice. In role specifics, you’ll assess, stabilize, and optimize patients’ respiratory status, operate and troubleshoot ventilators, administer respiratory therapies, and interpret arterial blood gases in fast-paced settings. You’ll collaborate with physicians, nurses, therapists, and case managers to design individualized care plans, monitor responses, adjust protocols, and document outcomes with clarity. Your responsibilities extend to patient and family education, reducing infection risks, and ensuring equipment safety and compliance with evolving standards. The position invites ongoing professional growth—certifications, specialized procedures, and leadership pathways—within a robust respiratory therapy framework. We value your skills, and this opportunity includes a comprehensive benefits package that recognizes expert practice: a signing bonus or location-based incentive, housing assistance to ease transitions, and potential extension opportunities to align with your career goals. You’ll work in supportive facilities that invest in mentorship, simulation training, and interdisciplinary rounds, enabling you to elevate your clinical judgment and team communication. And throughout every assignment, you’ll have 24/7 support from our travel-healthcare team, ensuring dependable coverage, rapid problem-solving, and seamless logistics as you navigate shifts, housing, licensure, and credentialing. The company is committed to empowering clinicians to grow—through clear career ladders, constructive feedback, and a culture that champions work‑life balance.
