FAQs – Travel Registered Respiratory Therapist Jobs Near Des Moines, IA
What certifications are required for travel RRT jobs?
Travel RRT jobs generally require an active NBRC Registered Respiratory Therapist credential, BLS, and the respiratory care license required by the assignment state.
Adult critical-care units may also require ACLS, while pediatric or neonatal assignments may require PALS or NRP. Submit an “I’m Interested” form, and a recruiter can confirm the complete requirements for this unit.
Can I use the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact for a travel assignment?
Not yet. As of August 2026, the compact has reached its activation threshold and entered implementation, but applications are not open, and no state is issuing practice privileges.
For now, travel RRTs must follow the assignment state’s existing licensing process. A recruiter can help you begin any required application early.

Yes. Des Moines is often a strong market for travel Respiratory Therapist jobs due to consistent healthcare demand, a mix of hospital and outpatient settings, and competitive weekly pay packages. Many travelers choose Des Moines for its balance of career growth and lifestyle perks.

Des Moines, IA is the capital of Iowa and the hub of a flat, easy-driving metro that supports a broad, well-equipped care market across central Iowa. MRI, CT, and rehabilitation work spreads across the city and the ring of suburbs, tied into a metro economy built on insurance and finance. I-35 and I-80 bypass the north side, while I-235 loops through downtown past the State Capitol. The well-known skywalk system keeps winter commutes indoors and out of the cold. West Des Moines, Ankeny, and Urbandale are the usual residential bases, all a quick drive from the core. The cost of living runs below most metros its size, part of why travelers treat central Iowa as a place worth coming back to rather than passing through once.
