Lawrence General Hospital is looking for motivated, self-driven Licensed Respiratory Therapists who love to learn and function as integral members of the healthcare team. As an RT at Lawrence General Hospital, you will work under multiple therapist-driven protocols. You will attend patient care rounds where your input will not only be solicited but expected. You will function as a member of the Code Team, the Rapid Response Team and attend Level 3 infant deliveries. We operate a CAP accredited blood gas laboratory and are responsible for the collection, analysis and reporting of blood samples that are analyzed in our lab. Lawrence General Hospital has recently implemented a brand-new fleet of ventilators, new blood gas analyzers and a new PFT machine.
