About This Role

This PRN position involves providing respiratory care to pediatric patients during interfacility transports and within the ICU setting at Memorial Health University Medical Center. You'll manage airways, operate ventilators, monitor vital signs, and respond to respiratory emergencies for critically ill children. The role requires an RRT credential and the ability to work flexible, on-call shifts with variable hours—ideal for someone seeking supplemental income or schedule flexibility. You should be comfortable working independently during transports, staying current with pediatric protocols, and collaborating with transport teams. This role suits respiratory therapists who want to specialize in pediatric critical care without committing to a full-time position, or those looking to gain additional transport experience.

Frequently asked questions

  • How does PRN therapy work?

    PRN (per diem) therapists pick up shifts or visits as needed without a fixed weekly schedule. Some employers require a minimum number of shifts per month; home-health PRN is typically paid per visit.

  • Does PRN pay more than full-time?

    Yes — PRN hourly and per-visit rates are typically 15–35% higher than full-time staff rates, since the role doesn't include benefits or guaranteed hours.

  • Are benefits included?

    Most PRN therapy roles do not include health benefits or PTO; the higher rate offsets that. Some larger systems offer benefits at higher commitment tiers.
