Registered Respiratory Therapist Jobs in North Dakota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a registered respiratory therapist in North Dakota?
You must hold an active North Dakota respiratory care practitioner license, issued by the North Dakota State Board of Respiratory Care, to practice legally in the state. That requires completing an accredited respiratory care program at the associate or bachelor's level, passing the National Board for Respiratory Care Therapist Multiple-Choice Examination to earn the Registered Respiratory Therapist credential, and then applying to the state board for licensure. Reciprocity is available for therapists already licensed in other states.
How much do registered respiratory therapists make in North Dakota?
Registered respiratory therapists in North Dakota earn a median of about $81,230 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $65,770 for the lowest 10% to over $100,490 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire registered respiratory therapists in North Dakota?

North Dakota's largest hiring activity comes from integrated health systems with campuses in Fargo, Bismarck, and Grand Forks, where inpatient and critical care volumes drive steady respiratory therapy demand.
Which North Dakota cities have the most registered respiratory therapist jobs?
The cities with the most registered respiratory therapist openings in North Dakota are Grand Forks, Fargo, and Bismarck. Fargo leads as the state's largest metro and home to major health system campuses, while Bismarck and Grand Forks support consistent demand through regional medical centers and specialty care facilities that serve large rural catchment areas.
Are there remote registered respiratory therapist jobs in North Dakota?
Yes, but they're rare. Respiratory therapy is a hands-on clinical discipline requiring direct patient contact for procedures like ventilator management, bronchoscopy assistance, and aerosol treatments, so the vast majority of roles are on-site. About 0% of registered respiratory therapist openings tied to North Dakota are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to be in telehealth respiratory monitoring, education coordination, or clinical documentation review rather than direct patient care.
How can I get hired as a registered respiratory therapist in North Dakota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for new-graduate positions at Sanford Health or CHI St. Alexius Health, both of which regularly bring on new RRTs for general floor and step-down assignments while they build clinical hours. Completing a clinical rotation at a North Dakota facility strengthens your application considerably, as does having your North Dakota state license in hand before you apply. Lateral candidates from roles like emergency medical technician or respiratory care assistant can also qualify if they hold an accredited program degree and have passed their NBRC boards.
