Respiratory Therapist Jobs in Indiana: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a respiratory therapist in Indiana?

You must earn an associate or bachelor's degree in respiratory therapy from an accredited program, then pass the National Board for Respiratory Care exams to earn your CRT or RRT credential. Indiana licensure is issued through the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency and requires a completed application, proof of your NBRC credential, and a background check. Both the CRT and RRT credentials are accepted for Indiana licensure, though many hospital employers prefer the RRT.

How much do respiratory therapists make in Indiana?

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 respiratory therapists in Indiana?

Employers hiring 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 largest health systems, including IU Health and Ascension, post openings across multiple campuses and care settings throughout the state.

Which Indiana cities have the most respiratory therapist jobs?

The cities with the most respiratory therapist openings in Indiana are Indianapolis, Kokomo, and Columbus. Indianapolis drives the largest share of demand as the state's primary healthcare hub, anchored by major academic medical centers and regional hospital networks, while Fort Wayne and South Bend reflect the presence of sizable regional health systems serving northern Indiana communities.

Are there remote respiratory therapist jobs in Indiana?

Yes, but they're rare. Respiratory therapy is fundamentally a hands-on clinical role requiring direct patient contact, so the vast majority of positions are fully on-site. About 9% of respiratory therapist openings tied to Indiana are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles are almost entirely in telemedicine oversight, sleep study interpretation, or pulmonary function education rather than direct bedside care.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying for a new-graduate respiratory therapist position at one of Indiana's larger health systems, such as IU Health or Parkview Health, which regularly onboard new CRT and RRT graduates into structured orientation programs. Roles like pulmonary function technician or respiratory therapy aide can also serve as a bridge into clinical positions. Completing your NBRC CRT credential before graduation and selecting an accredited Indiana program with a strong clinical rotation partnership gives candidates a measurable edge over applicants without hands-on facility experience.

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

You can find and apply to respiratory therapist jobs in Indiana on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring in the state right now. Search the roles that match your credentials, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit your situation.
