It really depends on where you're working, also depends if you're a CRT or an RRT or if you're full time or per diem. Where I work at, RRT's get paid more even if they are newly graduate than CRT's with 10-20 years experience. Of course full time worker get paid less since they are guaranteed full time hours and benefits. For an RRT per diem is $30/hr, and night differential if they are working nights, weekend differential and time and half on holidays. I'd rather work per diem though because where I work I'm still getting 3 to 4 days per week. I just save all the extra income for my vacation, plus I get my medical benefits from my husband so its worth it for me to work per diem. You wont get rich being a Respiratory Therapist, but if you have a job, you wont be poor either.
