Respiratory Therapist resume example
A strong respiratory therapist summary reads like this. Swap in your own numbers and settings:
Registered Respiratory Therapist with five years in adult ICU and ER at a 400-bed hospital, plus a year of NICU cross-coverage. I manage 8 to 12 vented patients per shift, titrate from high-flow through conventional vent support, draw and run ABGs, and respond with the code and rapid response teams. RRT with an active state license plus ACLS and NRP, charting in Epic. Looking for an ICU-heavy role with a strong vent protocol culture.

How to list your credentials
List your NBRC credential first, RRT or CRT, then your state respiratory care license with the state and status. Specialty credentials like NPS or ACCS go after that, written the way the NBRC formats them.
Resume tips for respiratory therapists
- Lead with RRT. If you are a CRT working toward RRT, say that and give the timeline.
- List the vents you have run by name, like Servo or Hamilton. ICU managers ask.
- Give your typical vent load per shift. It is the first number every hiring manager wants.
- Spell out which patient populations you cover. Adult and NICU are different skill sets and different postings.
- Put code team and rapid response work near the top of each job entry. It shows you handle acuity.
- Include ECMO exposure even if you were not the primary. Programs screen for it.
