Respiratory Therapist

As a Respiratory Therapist at Wallowa Memorial Hospital, you will provide direct patient care in all aspects of respiratory therapy, including diagnostic testing, patient evaluation and assessment, and administration of therapeutic respiratory therapy. Other duties involve scheduling patients, patient follow-up, supply management, and troubleshooting equipment. This position must function autonomously and often will be the only staff on duty for the Cardiopulmonary Department. This position provides “on-call” coverage after hours for the department. All respiratory therapists work under the direction of the ordering or supervising physician.

This position requires an Associate's degree in Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT). The individual also must be a current member of the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC), a current Neonatal Resuscitation Provider (NRP), a current Basic Life Support (BLS) provider, a current Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) provider, and a Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) provider.

And so much more!
