- Posted job title: Registered Nurse / Medical Surgical Floor (but we don't repeat job title)
- About Cross Country Nurses: description (maybe can be part of About the role? Actually "About Cross Country Nurses" is company description; we could put under "About the role"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" containing job summary and details. Could also include company description maybe under About the role or separate? Probably include in About the role.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: include job summary, position description, location, maybe company description.
- Responsibilities: could be derived from job summary: providing high-quality care to post-operative patients, collaboration, patient advocacy, wound care, drain management, dressing changes. We'll list as bullet list.
- Requirements: Required Qualifications: BLS certification, location Salem, VA, maybe experience 0 (but that's not a requirement). Education/degree none specified - we should not include filler like "None specified". The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we should omit sections that would be just filler. For Required Qualifications, we have BLS certification and location requirement. Also maybe "Years of Experience: 0.0" is not a requirement (it's minimum). Could include as "No prior experience required" but that's maybe okay? It's not filler; it's a specific statement. However "Years of Experience: 0.0" could be interpreted as "no experience required". We can phrase as "No prior experience required". That's substantive.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: familiar with post-operative patients, competent with dressing changes, wound care, drain management. Also maybe team player, positive attitude, strong patient advocacy skills, ability to work fast-paced environment (these are from Additional Information). Could be under Skills.
- Skills: maybe list team player, positive attitude, strong patient advocacy, ability to work fast-paced environment, scrub color compliance? Actually scrub color is a requirement about uniform; could be under Requirements or Skills. We'll put under Skills.
- Benefits: list all benefits.
- Pay: we have "Pay package is based on 12 hour shifts and 36.0 hours per week (subject to confirmation) with tax-free stipend amount to be determined." This is vague; stipend amount to be determined is placeholder. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state pay package based on shifts and hours, but stipend amount TBD. Is that considered filler? It says "tax-free stipend amount to be determined." That's placeholder. However we still have info that pay is based on 12 hour shifts and 36 hours per week. That's somewhat substantive but not a specific number. The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). "Tax-free stipend amount to be determined" is TBD. So maybe we should omit Pay section because it's mostly placeholder. However we could include a short sentence: "Pay package based on 12‑hour shifts, 36 hours per week (subject to confirmation)." That's not placeholder; it's a fact. The stipend amount TBD is extra but we could still include the known part. The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. If we include the heading Pay and then include only substantive info (based on 12‑hour shifts, 36 hours per week) that is not filler. The extra phrase about stipend TBD could be omitted. We'll include Pay section with that sentence.
- Schedule: we have schedule: Days shift, 12-hour shifts, minimum of 36 hours per week. That's specific. So Schedule section.
We must not include Job ID, requisition numbers, application instructions, boilerplate, duplicated lines, EEO etc.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.

About the role
...
Maybe we need- for lists.
Let's craft content.
About the role: combine job summary, position description, location, company description.
Paragraph: "Medical Surgical Nurse (MS) position at LewisGale Medical Center in Salem, VA, providing high‑quality care to post‑operative patients on a busy 36‑bed medical‑surgical unit. Responsibilities include collaboration within a team‑oriented environment, patient advocacy, wound care, drain management, and dressing changes. Cross Country Nurses supports travel nurses with competitive pay, full benefits, and 24/7 support to help build a career that fits your lifestyle."
That seems good.
Responsibilities: bullet list of duties: Provide high-quality care to post-operative patients; Collaborate with team members; Advocate for patients; Perform wound care and dressing changes; Manage drains; Maintain a fast-paced, team-oriented environment; Adhere to uniform policy (navy blue and white scrubs, no hoodies, pull‑overs, T‑shirts).
Requirements: bullet list: Current BLS certification; Must be located in or willing to work in Salem, VA; No prior experience required (0 years). (We could also mention that no specific education or degree is required, but that's filler; we avoid.)
Qualifications: bullet list: Familiarity with post‑operative patient care; Competence with dressing changes, wound care, and drain management.
Skills: bullet list: Team player with positive attitude; Strong patient advocacy skills; Ability to work in a fast‑paced environment; Willingness to follow scrub color policy (navy blue and white scrubs, no hoodies, pull‑overs, T‑shirts).

Pay:
Pay package based on 12‑hour shifts and 36 hours per week (subject to confirmation).
Schedule:Days shift, 12‑hour shifts, minimum of 36 hours per week.
Make sure not to repeat job title. Check for any duplicated content: we have mention of location etc. We must not include "Start Date: 10/19/2026" and "Duration: 13 weeks". Those are substantive; should we include them? They are not in the prescribed headings but could be included in About the role or maybe a separate section like "Assignment details". However the instruction only lists certain headings; we can add other headings? It says usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. But we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could we include Start Date and Duration under About the role? Yes, we can incorporate them. Add to About the role: "Start date: October 19, 2026; Assignment length: 13 weeks." Let's incorporate. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "About Cross Country Nurses" separate; we incorporated. Now produce HTML. We'll need to wrap each section in
and then content. Let's write:
