Respiratory Therapist Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a respiratory therapist in Florida?
You must hold an active Florida respiratory therapist license issued by the Florida Board of Respiratory Care, which requires completing an accredited respiratory therapy program and passing the National Board for Respiratory Care examinations. Florida issues two license tiers: a temporary license for Certified Respiratory Therapists and a full license for Registered Respiratory Therapists. Most Florida hospital employers require the Registered Respiratory Therapist credential before extending an offer.
How much do respiratory therapists make in Florida?
Respiratory therapists in Florida earn a median of about $81,160 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $64,240 for the lowest 10% to over $100,310 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire respiratory therapists in Florida?
Employers hiring respiratory therapists in Florida right now include Broward Health, Baptist Health South Florida, and BayCare Health System, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Florida's large hospital systems and integrated health networks tend to post the most consistent volume, particularly for acute care, long-term acute care, and home health respiratory positions.
Which Florida cities have the most respiratory therapist jobs?
Miami, Jacksonville, and Tampa are the Florida cities with the most respiratory therapist openings, reflecting the concentration of major hospital systems, academic medical centers, and large long-term care networks in those metros. Smaller markets like Jacksonville and Fort Lauderdale also produce steady openings because of large regional health systems anchored in those areas.
Are there remote respiratory therapist jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Respiratory therapy is an inherently hands-on clinical role, so the vast majority of positions require on-site work. About 0% of respiratory therapist openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles tend to be in telehealth respiratory monitoring or case management rather than direct bedside care.
How can I get hired as a respiratory therapist in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a new graduate or respiratory therapy trainee position directly through large Florida hospital systems like AdventHealth, HCA Florida Healthcare, or Jackson Health System, which periodically run structured new-grad onboarding programs. Candidates with a completed COARC-accredited degree and a freshly issued Florida respiratory therapist license have the strongest footing, and experience as a patient care technician or in a pulmonary function lab is the most common lateral move that opens the door.
Where can I find and apply to respiratory therapist jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to respiratory therapist jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings across hospital systems, long-term care facilities, home health agencies, and outpatient clinics. Find the roles that fit your license level, specialty, and preferred location, then apply directly.
