for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc as headings; can fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to extract substantive info: From posting: - Cross Country Nurses seeking travel nurse RN Med Surg for travel nursing job in West Des Moines, Iowa. - Job Description & Requirements: Specialty: Med Surg Discipline: RN Start Date: 10/12/2026 Duration: 13 weeks 36 hours per week Shift: 12 hours, nights Employment Type: Travel Job Summary: Medical Surgical Floor (MS) in a healthcare facility located in a designated region. This position involves providing patient care on a medical surgical unit with a focus on post-operative and spine care patients. The role requires working night shifts, with scheduled start and end dates from October 12, 2026, to January 11, 2027, and a minimum commitment of 36 hours per week. Job Details: Schedule: Nights, 12-hour shifts, minimum of 36 hours per week Required Qualifications: 24 months of current medical surgical experience in a hospital or medical center setting, strong heparin management experience, and EPIC electronic medical record experience. Active Iowa (IA) nursing license or multistate license required.

Float: Float rotation may be required across multiple campuses. Additional Information: Must have a minimum of 3 months of current travel nursing experience within the previous 12 months. Holiday coverage may be required unless the unit is closed, with 1-2 of 3 upcoming winter holidays worked. Call and on-call responsibilities are not included for this position. SCRUBS: Navy Blue, solids. N:P Ratio: Nights - 1:6. Certification: BLS (AHA) required. Position Code: 1359 Benefits: list. 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. Posted job title: Registered Nurse / Medical Surgical Floor Also there is a Benefits section repeated later: Benefits 401k retirement plan Referral bonus (duplicate). We need to include Benefits section only once with substantive content. We need to decide sections: - About the role: could include job summary, location, specialty, discipline, employment type, start date, duration, etc. - Responsibilities: maybe from job summary: providing patient care on med surg unit focusing on post-operative and spine care, night shifts, etc. - Requirements: required qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications? But we already have required and preferred. Could combine? The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content. We have content for: - About the role: location, specialty, discipline, start date, duration, employment type. - Responsibilities: patient care details, focus, night shifts, etc. - Requirements: required qualifications (24 months med surg, heparin mgmt, EPIC, IA license). - Qualifications: preferred qualifications (post-op/spine care experience, BLS AHA, professional references). Could also include travel nursing experience min 3 months within previous 12 months, float rotation, holiday coverage, scrubs, N:P ratio, certification BLS required (though BLS is also a qualification). Might be better to put under Requirements? But we have both required and preferred. Could split: Requirements = required qualifications; Qualifications = preferred qualifications + other specifics like travel experience, float, holiday coverage, scrubs ratio, BLS certification (though BLS is required). However BLS is required, but we already have required qualifications list; we could add BLS there. But we need to avoid duplication. - Skills: maybe heparin management experience, EPIC experience, etc. Could be under Skills. - Benefits: list. - Pay: mention pay package based on 12 hour shifts and 36 hours per week, tax-free stipend amount to be determined. This is somewhat vague but it's specific: pay package based on 12 hour shifts and 36 hours per week, tax-free stipend amount to be determined. It's not a specific number but it's still content. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). Here "tax-free stipend amount to be determined" is TBD-like. Might be considered placeholder. However they also say "Pay package is based on 12 hour shifts and 36.0 hours per week (subject to confirmation)". That's somewhat specific but still not a number. Might be considered too vague. Safer to omit Pay section if no concrete pay info. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state pay package based on shifts and hours, but no actual amount. Might be considered stating them albeit vague. I'd lean to include Pay section with that statement, as it's not exactly "TBD" but "tax-free stipend amount to be determined" is TBD. Might be considered placeholder. I'd omit Pay to be safe. - Schedule: we have schedule details: Nights, 12-hour shifts, minimum of 36 hours per week. That's specific. So include Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. Now we need to format with

headings,
  • for lists,

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc as headings; we can drop or put in short

    . We'll drop minor metadata like Position Code, Posted job title, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details: location West Des Moines, Iowa; specialty Med Surg; discipline RN; start date 10/12/2026; duration 13 weeks; employment type Travel; job summary; responsibilities; required qualifications; preferred qualifications; float rotation; travel nursing experience min 3 months within previous 12 months; holiday coverage; scrubs navy blue solids; N:P ratio nights 1:6; certification BLS (AHA) required; benefits list. We need to avoid duplication: BLS appears both as required certification and preferred qualification (BLS from AHA). We'll include BLS under Required Qualifications (or Skills). We'll note it's required. Now craft HTML. Structure:
