RT – Registered Respiratory Therapist

Breathe Life Into Every Moment: A Respiratory Therapy Role Rooted in Heart, Heritage, and Healing

There’s a rhythm to care — a pulse that beats through every breath, every reassuring word, every moment a patient realizes they’re not alone. For those who’ve felt that calling in their chest — deep and steady — there’s a place where your passion can flourish in tandem with your purpose. Nestled in a region where winding rivers cut through quilted farmland and traditions are as enduring as the morning mist, this opportunity isn’t just about doing the work — it’s about living a life filled with meaning, surrounded by a team that knows your name, values your voice, and believes in the power of every breath you help restore.

This is where Registered Respiratory Therapists step into something greater than a shift or a schedule. It’s where your clinical precision meets heartfelt connection, and where the reward isn’t only in the recognition — but in knowing you made someone’s hardest day just a little easier.

Where Every Breath Has a Backstory

Some moments stay with you. Like the quiet strength of a grandfather recovering from pneumonia who tells you his goal is to walk his granddaughter down the aisle. Or the wide-eyed trust of a child, her tiny hands wrapped around your finger as you coach her through a nebulizer treatment. Or the long, deep exhale from a patient finally weaned off a ventilator, whispering “thank you” through teary eyes.

Those moments aren’t rare here — they’re everyday reminders that what we do isn’t just clinical. It’s deeply human. It’s the work of helping people feel like themselves again, of restoring dignity and comfort when they need it most.

As a PRN Registered Respiratory Therapist, you’ll be invited into these moments with both skill and soul. Your knowledge will save lives — your presence will restore hope.

A Role That Keeps You in Motion, and in Meaning

This is a dynamic environment — and you’ll be at the heart of it. One moment you’re managing complex ventilator settings in the ICU, the next you’re supporting a mother and child during an outpatient asthma appointment. You’ll respond to codes, provide bedside treatments, collaborate closely with physicians, and serve as an educator and advocate — not only for your patients, but for their families, too.

Our respiratory therapists are essential, not optional. You won’t be on the sidelines — you’ll be an integral part of the clinical team, empowered to make decisions, trusted for your expertise, and appreciated for your empathy. Whether you’re adjusting settings mid-transport, assisting in a critical care procedure, or simply sitting quietly at a bedside offering encouragement, your presence will matter.

And because this is a PRN position, there’s flexibility to match the flow of your life. You’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact on your terms — supporting the department and community while maintaining balance in your personal world. Here, flexibility and purpose walk hand in hand.

A Place That Grounds You — and Grows You

Step off your shift and into a part of the Midwest where the air smells of woodsmoke in autumn, the cornfields sway like waves in the summer heat, and life finds its rhythm in family dinners, high school sports, and town festivals that draw generations together. This isn’t a place people pass through — it’s a place they come back to.

You’ll find it in the way neighbors look out for each other, and how cashiers know your name. In the early morning light spilling over silos and steeples, in bike paths that wind along rivers and through nature preserves, in farmers markets that celebrate the land and the people who work it. You’ll hear it in the mix of accents and stories shared over barbecue or a pint from a local brewery. There’s pride here — in hard work, in hospitality, and in a culture of care that extends far beyond the hospital walls.

Here, nature is never far. You can kayak before lunch, hike through golden woods in the afternoon, or take a quiet drive through the countryside just to clear your head. There’s space to breathe, to think, to grow. And thanks to a lower cost of living, your money — and your time — stretch further, giving you the freedom to live fully.

Whether you’re single and seeking adventure, building a family, or settling into the kind of peace that only a small-town community can offer, this place offers the rare blend of comfort and possibility.

A Team That Feels Like Family

This department isn’t just award-winning — it’s heart-driven. We’ve been recognized by the American Association for Respiratory Care for our commitment to quality, but the accolades are only part of the story. The real story lives in the way we support one another. When someone’s having a hard day, we notice. When a win happens — big or small — we celebrate it. Mentorship isn’t a program here; it’s part of the culture. Seasoned therapists freely offer guidance. New team members are welcomed with open arms. Your questions are never a burden — they’re opportunities for connection.

Leadership here is present, engaged, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed. Whether it’s supporting continuing education, encouraging certification, or simply recognizing you for a job well done, you’ll never feel like just another set of hands. You’ll feel like a whole person, valued not only for what you do, but for who you are.

And while the pace can be fast and the stakes high, we carry it together. When a shift ends, we check on each other. When a patient takes a turn for the better, we share the joy. That sense of shared mission — that’s what makes the hard days bearable, and the good ones unforgettable.

Are You the One We’re Waiting For?

This role is built for someone who loves both the art and science of respiratory care. You’ve completed your Associate Degree or equivalent and hold licensure as an Indiana Respiratory Care Practitioner, proudly backed by your RRT certification from the NBRC. Your BLS is up to date, and your ability to stay cool under pressure, communicate clearly, and bring both empathy and excellence to every patient interaction sets you apart.

You understand that PRN work isn’t a placeholder — it’s a powerful way to contribute. You step in when the need is greatest, and you bring your best each time. Whether you’re working one day or five in a given week, your mindset remains the same: do what’s needed, do it well, and do it with heart.

You’re not just looking for a paycheck. You’re looking for purpose. A chance to grow, to contribute, and to truly belong.

What We Offer Beyond the Badge

We understand that the best care comes from people who are cared for, too. That’s why we offer a comprehensive support system for qualifying roles — from benefits to wellness resources, educational opportunities to mental health support. We respect your time and strive to make your work both sustainable and rewarding. You’ll have access to a team that listens, leadership that advocates, and a schedule that leaves room for your real life.

While hours may vary in a PRN role, your value never does. You’ll be recognized, appreciated, and empowered — every single shift.

And when you step outside our walls, you’ll return to a community that feels like home. A place where roots grow deep, where stories are shared across porches and playgrounds, and where your life outside the scrubs is just as fulfilling as the life you lead within them.
