Registered Respiratory Therapist Jobs in North Carolina: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a registered respiratory therapist in North Carolina?
To practice as a registered respiratory therapist in North Carolina, you must obtain licensure through the North Carolina Medical Board, which requires completing a CoARP-accredited respiratory therapy program, passing the National Board for Respiratory Care's Therapist Multiple Choice and Clinical Simulation examinations to earn the RRT credential, and then applying for a North Carolina respiratory care license. Most employers in the state require both the RRT credential and an active state license before you can practice independently.
How much do registered respiratory therapists make in North Carolina?
Registered respiratory therapists in North Carolina earn a median of about $80,090 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $63,990 for the lowest 10% to over $99,520 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire registered respiratory therapists in North Carolina?
Employers hiring registered respiratory therapists in North Carolina right now include Advocate Aurora Health, Atrium Health, and UNC Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. North Carolina's large integrated health systems, particularly those anchored in Charlotte and the Research Triangle, tend to post the most consistent volume of openings across acute care, outpatient, and specialty settings.
Which North Carolina cities have the most registered respiratory therapist jobs?
Charlotte, Concord, and Winston-Salem account for the most registered respiratory therapist openings in North Carolina. Charlotte leads because of the concentration of Atrium Health facilities across the metro, while Raleigh-Durham draws significant volume from Duke Health and UNC Health in the Research Triangle, and Greensboro reflects Cone Health's broad presence across the Piedmont Triad region.
Are there remote registered respiratory therapist jobs in North Carolina?
Yes, but they're rare. Registered respiratory therapy is a hands-on clinical role requiring direct patient contact for procedures such as ventilator management and breathing treatments, so most positions are fully on-site. About 10% of registered respiratory therapist openings tied to North Carolina are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those roles are almost exclusively in telehealth respiratory monitoring, utilization review, or clinical education rather than direct patient care.
How can I get hired as a registered respiratory therapist in North Carolina with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate respiratory therapist positions at North Carolina's large health systems, many of which run structured residency or transition-to-practice programs for recent CoARP graduates. Atrium Health, Duke Health, and Cone Health each hire new graduates into supervised acute care roles where clinical competencies are built over several months. Earning the CRT credential before graduation and completing externship hours in a high-acuity North Carolina facility strengthens your application considerably, as does any clinical rotation experience in neonatal or critical care units.
Where can I find and apply to registered respiratory therapist jobs in North Carolina?
You can find and apply to registered respiratory therapist jobs in North Carolina on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Search the listings for roles that match your experience level and preferred setting, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
