FAQs – Travel Registered Respiratory Therapist Jobs Near Chattanooga, TN

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. Chattanooga 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 Chattanooga for its balance of career growth and lifestyle perks.

Explore Chattanooga, TN

Mountains box in Chattanooga, TN on three sides, and the Tennessee River bends through the middle, giving the city a setting few markets match and a hospital base that serves the surrounding tri-state region. Travel demand runs across intensive care units and emergency departments. The revitalized riverfront and downtown put walkable housing within reach of several campuses, while the North Shore adds a restaurant-row neighborhood across the pedestrian bridge. The rents have climbed with the city's reputation but still undercut the big southeastern metros. Lookout Mountain rises straight from the city's edge with Ruby Falls inside it. Trail systems lace the ridges, which is exactly why outdoor-minded RNs tend to extend their contracts here more often here than in nearly any market of comparable size.
