FAQs – Travel Registered Respiratory Therapist Jobs Near New Brunswick, NJ

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.
