Respiratory therapists care for patients who have trouble breathing. These patients range from premature infants with undeveloped lungs to elderly patients with diseased lungs. Respiratory therapists have a number of roles and responsibilities including:
Interviewing and examining patients with breathing disorders
Consulting with doctors to develop treatment plans
Performing diagnostic tests, such as measuring lung capacity
Using methods to treat patients, such as chest physiotherapy
Monitoring and recording patients progress
Teach patients how to use medications and equipment
In 1999, the Bureau of Labor Statistics recorded $36,860 as the average base salary. By 2019, average base salaries rose to $63,950. Wages grew by $27,090 (or $2,257 yearly) from 1999-2019. The estimated 2020 average base salary would be $66,208, using $2,257 as the average yearly income. If trends were to continue, by 2029, the average base salary would be $86,525. In 2019, the base salaries of respiratory therapists were vastly different, depending on the state. The lowest paying state, Mississippi, on average, pays respiratory therapists $49,790. The highest paying state, California, on average, pays respiratory therapists $83,920. There is a $34,130 difference in average wages between the highest paying and the lowest paying state.
The job market for respiratory therapists has grown since 1999. In 1999, there were 80,230 employed respiratory therapists. By 2019, this rose to 132,090 employed respiratory therapists. From 1999 - 2019, there was a growth of 51,860 employed respiratory therapists (2,593 per year). In 2019, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicted a 19% growth in respiratory therapists over the next ten years. By 2029, they predicted 157,187 employed respiratory therapists. I used indeed.com to find the number of job postings for this occupation. Indeed.com has been rated the most popular search engine for job seekers by several sites. Searching for "Respiratory Therapist" in the United States gave us 9,062 job postings across the United States. In 2019, there were 132,090 employed respiratory therapists. This gives us one job opening on indeed.com per 15 employed respiratory therapists. Anytime the ratio is below 15, there is a shortage.
Respiratory therapists typically need an associate's degree. In every state except for Alaska, respiratory therapists have to be licensed.
The National Board of Respiratory Care certifies respiratory therapists. There are two certifications:
Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT)
Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT)

I’m a new graduate respiratory therapist I am really enjoying the job so far it’s rewarding being a specialist that many other people including MDs and RNs look to for advice. Although it is very saddening at times because we are the people who withdraws life support or the ventilator at end of life.
@Kool Cat if that patient is not improving or family request and the doctor agrees, yes.
This occupation has really been on my mind lately thank you for this video. I subscribed.
I genuinely enjoy watching your videos. They're always calm.
Glad you like them!
Asmr voice?
RRT -NPS-ACCS here . Great video . Lets take it a breath at a time .
I've been thinking about this career and radiation therapy!Do you think you can do a radiation therapy video?Thank you for all you do.
Wow thank you this was very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Hi
I’m an RT student, graduating in 3 weeks. I love doing RT stuff. I love helping people and interacting with my patients, but I also love the more critical aspect of the profession. I prefer working in the adult ICU. I like to investigate in my patients charts to see what has helped them in the past, what factors might play a role in their disease process & how I can better help them, given this information. This career is so rewarding, even though there are hard parts to it.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Is it easy to get a job?
Somebody kindly help me .. i am looking for any postgraduate or masters level degree in respiratory therapy in canada ?
I am an entry level RRT in Illinois. What pay can I expect to quote in my interviews?
Im in illinois and thinking about enrolling in a program I know this is random but can I email you and ask you some questions?
This needs an update
RRTs making up to $160 bucks per hour. Thanks to C-19. Stay safe out there people.
😳😳😳
I just got my acceptance to RT program so excited 😆
Hay quá
I'm not a respiratory therapist but I have seen a payscale that may be correct. Starting is at about $45 and top out at $65 in northern california.
Payscale is ok, but keep in mind it from individual surveys. Meaning random, unverified people filling out forms on their income. The government data used here is from businesses reporting their incomes, rather than individuals.
Do not becomea R.T. I have been one for 27 years. It is one of the most stressful jobs in the hospital with no where to grow to. It may be good to do this entry level and going to school for something else while making money.
You didn’t even have to work in a hospital. You could’ve went in a rehabilitation center, clinic or even a lab. So please keep your miserable life to yourself. Because we all know that misery needs company 😉
I did Respiratory for 44 years.. Decent field but nurses will always be the backbone of healthcare. Was a very satisfying profession helping people breath better. A good stepping stone.
But- nurses work 10 x harder and have more responsibilities (in ICU). You wil always make less than a nurse. I 've told a co-worker who needed money to finish his bachelors in marketing and get into medical sales after. That's where the money is!
Be a man and worry about your own pockets 💯 not the next.
I beg to differ... I know plenty of nurses that say RTs work just as hard if not harder than most nurses because RTs are almost ALWAYS understaffed... There are Respiratory programs fighting to get RTs higher pay since they are on the front lines right next to nurses and doctors and are needed EVERYWHERE!!!
There is even a new Advanced Masters program for Respiratory Therapists called "Advanced Practice Respiratory Therapist" (APRT) and they will be equivalent to Physician Assistants, and Nurse Practitioners.
And I don't have say they will be making 6 figures.
@@RobotRebelCinema exactly. This guy is a complainer and I doubt he’s even a RRT
@@tommydub7785 i agree respiratory therapy is a great career and can also be a stepping stone to advanced to careers include physician assistant, anesthesiologist assistant, entrepreneur and healthcare management
I have been a Respiratory Care Practitioner for 26 years. Do not get in this profession. Because there is no reimbursement for respiratory services hospitals continuously cut respiratory staff and pressure the staff to do more with less. You are a hero when they need you. The reward is a bag of potatoe chips or a appreciation certificate your son gets in second grade... administration gets big money bonuses while you do twice the work you did in the past.
Appreciate the info! Thanks for sharing.
Maybe it’s the facility you are working in? RRTs are highly respected at my hospital. We get bonuses and right now RTs are making an extra $15 an hour on our base salary if we work our regular 36 hours a week. Not even factoring in overtime. In case you were wondering I’m an RT in North Carolina
@@LIVElifeHii hi
Iam a 1 year student studying respiratory therapy is it a good field
Sorry to hear about your experience Bob but mine was much different. I was an RRT for 39 years, retired about 5 years ago. The profession was very good to me and I had the opportunity to work with lots of excellent therapists, pulmonologists, RN's, etc. Would I have liked a higher salary and better staffing...sure I would, but overall I was happy and enjoyed going to work every day.
Choose R.N., NOT respiratory therapist. Physicians refer to respiratory as 'ancillary', lumped in with C.N.A.s. Despite taking the same general education, prerequisites and sciences respiratory earns about 20% to 30% LESS THAN R.N.s.
R.N.s and M.D.s ate lunch, conversed idly, and even dated/married; yet, NEARLY never, can the same be said of the LOWLY respiratory therapist. My usual contribution to the 'team' was, " SaO2 is something %" followed by, "ok, ya sure", by the Pulmonologist. 37 years of such 'team work' was not pleasant, or worth it. Further, the nature of the discipline greatly diminishes the areas needed, thus opportunities are diminished. Choose R.N., NOT respiratory therapist.
What?
@@molandasolage9483 Please hold your breath till you get a response; FOAD.
Get a life. You’re under every video showing your misery. You should’ve left a long time ago. Go away troll
