Ascension Providence Hospital — Waco, TX
Ascension Providence opened as Waco's first hospital in 1905, and heart care is still its calling card across Central Texas, with strong surgical, stroke, and women's programs alongside.
- Multiple cardiac cath labs carry the structural heart workload of TAVR, WATCHMAN, MitraClip, and AFib ablation, which makes for a full stretch if you're a cath-lab or cardiovascular tech. Read More
- Surgeons here operate with both robotic and image-guided systems across orthopedics, gynecology, urology, thoracic, and general surgery, with open-heart and cardiac surgery on the schedule.
- On the diagnostic side, the cardiac imaging is unusually deep for a hospital this size, including cardiac MRI and HeartFlow CT angiography on top of standard MRI and nuclear medicine.
- Stroke patients are covered by both a Joint Commission Primary Stroke Center and a Texas-designated Level II Stroke Center, so CT and MRI see regular emergent use.
- The Women's and Newborn Center handles maternity and on-site neonatal care, and the hospital charts on Epic.

FAQs – Travel Registered Respiratory Therapist Jobs Near Waco, TX
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.
