Entry Level Registered Respiratory Therapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level registered respiratory therapist job?

Employers hiring at the entry level prioritize candidates who hold or are completing their Registered Respiratory Therapist credential, have completed clinical rotations in acute care or critical care settings, and can demonstrate hands-on competency with mechanical ventilation and airway management. A strong clinical externship, a letter of recommendation from a supervising therapist, and familiarity with common respiratory equipment give new candidates a clear edge over a long list of unrelated work history.

Which companies hire entry level registered respiratory therapists?

Companies hiring entry level registered respiratory therapists right now include Trinity Health, Lincare, and Advocate Aurora Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Hospitals, health systems, and long-term acute care facilities make up the largest share of employers actively hiring at this experience level.

Are there remote entry level registered respiratory therapist jobs?

Yes, though most openings in this field are on-site given the hands-on nature of the work. About 1% of entry level registered respiratory therapist openings are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and those roles tend to be in patient education, telehealth support, or case management rather than direct bedside care.

Are these new grad registered respiratory therapist jobs?

Yes, the listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior registered respiratory therapist roles. A new-grad-friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts clinical rotations or internships toward that threshold, and does not require prior independent practice. Candidates coming directly out of an accredited respiratory therapy program are well positioned to apply.

Which industries hire the most entry level registered respiratory therapists?

Entry Level registered respiratory therapist roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Education, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. These sectors drive hiring at the entry level because they maintain high patient volumes, operate around the clock, and regularly onboard new graduates to fill shift-based clinical staffing needs.
