We must not include job title heading. Also no markdown fences. Output only HTML. Check for any boilerplate: we removed EEO etc. Also removed "Other Duties Disclaimer" maybe we could keep as part of responsibilities? It's generic; but it's substantive? It's a disclaimer about accommodations etc. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to omit. Also removed "Why Choose Fusion?" paragraph maybe could be part of About the role? It's promotional; but it's substantive about company. Could include as a separate section "About the company" but not in allowed headings. Could incorporate into About the role? Might be okay to add a paragraph after About the role about why choose Fusion. But the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could add a paragraph under About the role that includes that content. However we must preserve all substantive information. The "Why Choose Fusion?" paragraph includes details about day one insurance, $0 copay mental health, scholarships, awards, exclusive discounts, etc. Some of those are already in Benefits list (day one insurance, $0 copay mental health). But there are also scholarships and awards, exclusive discounts. Those are not in Benefits list we captured. We should preserve them. We could add them to Benefits section as additional items. Thus we can add to Benefits: scholarships and awards, exclusive discounts. Also "From your personal recruiter to our clinical and traveler experience teams, we’re here to guide and celebrate you along your journey. You take care of others; we take care of you." That's fluff; could be omitted as boilerplate? It's not specific benefit. Might be considered promotional but not concrete. Could omit. We also have "Other Duties Disclaimer" we omitted. We also have "Start your rewarding career as a Travel Operating Room RN with Fusion Medical Staffing and join our mission to improve lives. Apply now!" That's application instruction, should be removed. Also "*Fusion is an EOE/E-Verify Employer Fusion Medical Staffing-Nursing Job ID #2003816." Remove. Also "About Fusion Medical Staffing-Nursing" paragraph about mission etc. Could be incorporated into About the role or a separate section "About the company". Since allowed headings list does not include About the company, but we could still use About the role to include company mission? Might be okay to add a paragraph about Fusion's mission etc. But we already have About the role focusing on the role. Could add another section "About Fusion Medical Staffing" but not in list; maybe better to omit as not required? However we must preserve ALL substantive information. The mission statement is substantive? It's about the company. Might be considered boilerplate but it's descriptive. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The mission paragraph is not exactly those; it's about the company. Might be considered substantive. But we have no heading for it; we could add a section "About the company" but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not an exhaustive list? It says "use
