Registered Respiratory Therapist Jobs in Indiana: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a registered respiratory therapist in Indiana?

You become a registered respiratory therapist in Indiana by completing a CoARC-accredited respiratory therapy program, passing the National Board for Respiratory Care Registered Respiratory Therapist exam, and then applying for a state license through the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency. Indiana requires an active state license before you can practice, and most employers also verify that your NBRC credential is current before extending an offer.

How much do registered respiratory therapists make in Indiana?

Registered respiratory therapists in Indiana earn a median of about $79,730 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $62,730 for the lowest 10% to over $94,980 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire registered respiratory therapists in Indiana?

Employers hiring registered respiratory therapists in Indiana right now include Ascension, Indiana University Health, and Community Health Network, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Indiana's large integrated health systems tend to post the most consistently, with openings spread across inpatient units, outpatient pulmonary clinics, and home health affiliates throughout the state.

Which Indiana cities have the most registered respiratory therapist jobs?

The Indiana cities with the most registered respiratory therapist openings are Indianapolis, Kokomo, and Columbus. Indianapolis accounts for the largest share given its concentration of major hospital campuses and specialty medical centers, while Fort Wayne and Evansville draw volume from anchor systems like Parkview and Ascension Deaconess that serve large regional catchment areas extending into neighboring states.

Are there remote registered respiratory therapist jobs in Indiana?

Yes, but they are rare. Respiratory therapy is a hands-on clinical role that requires direct patient contact for the vast majority of duties, so most positions are fully on-site. About 9% of registered respiratory therapist openings tied to Indiana are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be in care coordination, telehealth respiratory monitoring, or clinical education roles rather than direct bedside therapy.

How can I get hired as a registered respiratory therapist in Indiana with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate programs at Indiana's larger health systems, particularly IU Health and Parkview Health, which run structured respiratory therapy residencies and clinical orientation tracks designed for candidates coming straight out of accredited programs. Completing clinical rotations at Indiana hospitals during your training gives you a direct hiring advantage. Adjacent roles such as respiratory therapy technician and patient care technician are common stepping stones that build the bedside skills hiring managers look for, and holding an active CRT credential alongside your new RRT designation signals readiness to Indiana employers.

Where can I find and apply to registered respiratory therapist jobs in Indiana?

You can find and apply to registered respiratory therapist jobs in Indiana on Migrate Mate, which lists current Indiana openings. Search for roles that match your specialty, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to whichever ones fit your background.
