Job description
Join a hospital team in Cleveland as an RRT Respiratory / Neuro Diagnostics specialist for a 12-week contract. This role offers a chance to put your two or more years of RRT experience to work in a fast-paced environment, primarily during 12-hour night shifts from 7:00 PM to 7:30 AM. You'll have the opportunity to work across multiple facilities, including Avon, Euclid, and the main campus, with the possibility of floating as needed. Your expertise in neuro diagnostics and respiratory therapy will be critical here, especially given the requirements for Ohio licensure, NBRC, and BLS certifications. Be prepared for a hands-on role that keeps you engaged in specialized diagnostics and patient assessments, without the regular duties of patient care, making this a perfect fit for skilled respiratory therapists seeking variety and professional growth.
