You will evaluate patients' lung capacities and treat them using oxygen mixtures and various types of equipment.

To excel in this role, you should hold a degree in the field and stay updated on the latest developments. Since this work involves direct patient interaction, excellent interpersonal skills are essential.

  • Provide emergency care to patients as needed.
  • Set up and operate various types of respiratory therapy machinery and equipment.
  • Educate patients on how to use breathing equipment independently.

Exposure Risks:

  • Normal work routine may involve exposure to blood and body fluids.
  • Responsible for following OSHA guidelines and using universal precautions.

Working Conditions:

  • Hours are determined by the residents' and community's needs.
  • Must be willing to work weekends and holidays.
  • If your assignment involves caring for individuals on life-support, where having a therapist in-house is required by law, you must arrange to come to work during inclement weather. These arrangements can be in coordination with NJRA and may involve alternative transportation modes, such as a taxi, or arriving earlier or staying later than your scheduled shift.
