Entry Level Respiratory Therapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level respiratory therapist job?
Employers at this level look for candidates who have completed their RRT or CRT credential, finished clinical rotations in acute care or hospital settings, and can demonstrate hands-on competency with ventilator management and airway clearance. A strong clinical rotation evaluation, a letter of recommendation from a supervising therapist, and any ACLS or NRP certifications give new candidates a clear edge over those with credentials alone.
Which companies hire entry level respiratory therapists?
Companies hiring entry level respiratory therapists right now include Trinity Health, Lincare, and Advocate Aurora Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Health systems, community hospitals, and long-term acute care facilities make up the majority of employers actively recruiting at this experience level.
Are there remote entry level respiratory therapist jobs?
Yes, though most roles remain hands-on and on-site by nature. About 1% of entry level respiratory therapist openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, and those positions typically involve patient education, care coordination, or telehealth support rather than direct bedside therapy.
Are these new grad respiratory therapist jobs?
Yes, the listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior respiratory therapist roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts clinical rotations or internship hours toward the requirement, or explicitly states that a strong portfolio of hands-on training can substitute for post-graduation work history.
Which industries hire the most entry level respiratory therapists?
Entry Level respiratory therapist roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Education, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they run high patient volumes in pulmonary, critical care, and emergency departments where new therapists can build clinical depth quickly.
