About 10% of 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.
How can I get hired as a respiratory therapist in North Carolina with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate positions at large North Carolina health systems like UNC Health and Atrium Health, both of which run structured respiratory therapy residency and transition-to-practice programs for candidates without clinical experience. Completing a clinical rotation at a North Carolina hospital strengthens your application considerably, and holding your Certified Respiratory Therapist credential while pursuing your Registered Respiratory Therapist exam signals readiness to hiring managers. Entry-level roles in pulmonary function testing or sleep lab positions are also common stepping stones within the state.
