How hard this is to fill
This is the same score as the free check.
For one manager
Say the unit, the shift, and the ventilator mix you need covered. Ask about the RRT credential and how much critical care time the person has.
License and training
Every state except Alaska licenses respiratory therapists. Most employers want the NBRC's CRT or RRT credential. Confirm your state board's rules before you hire or start.
