About the role
TotalMed RN is seeking a travel nurse RN for a Progressive Care Unit (PCU) position in Lynchburg, Virginia. The assignment starts October 12, 2026 and lasts 20 weeks, with 48 hours per week on 12‑hour night shifts. Employment type is travel.
Responsibilities
- Provide basic bedside care; stabilize critical cardiac patients.
- Change dressings, insert catheters and start IVs.
- Prepare, administer and record prescribed medication, reporting any adverse reactions to treatment.
- Monitor and adjust specialized equipment used on patients, and interpret and record electronic displays.
- Initiate corrective action whenever information from monitoring equipment shows adverse symptomatology.
Requirements
- Active RN license (implied by discipline)
- ACLS certification
- BLS certification
- Minimum 1‑2 years recent acute care experience (posting says 1‑2 years recent acute care experience)
- Additional certifications may be required before beginning an assignment.
But we need to preserve all substantive information: The posting says "The right RN should have 1-2 years recent acute care experience." Also "Requirements*: ACLS, BLS, 2 Years * Additional certifications may be required before beginning an assignment." So we should include that exactly: ACLS, BLS, 2 Years (experience). We'll phrase as "ACLS, BLS, and at least 2 years of recent acute care experience." Also mention additional certifications may be required.
We also have physical demands: stand/walk long periods, bend/lean/stoop, lift 20 lbs, up to 50 lbs patient lift, coping with stress, relate to all ages/backgrounds. Those could be under Skills or Requirements. Since they are not certifications, maybe Skills section.
We have Benefits list.
Schedule: 12 hour shifts, nights; 48 hours per week.
We need to avoid placeholder Pay. So omit Pay.
We need to avoid empty sections.
Let's decide sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Schedule.
Check each for real content.
About the role: we have location, start date, duration, hours, shift, employment type. Good.
Responsibilities: tasks list.
Requirements: certifications and experience.
Skills: physical demands, stress coping, relating to people.
Benefits: list.
Schedule: shift and hours.
Now ensure we don't repeat info. For example, we mentioned shift in About the role and also Schedule; that's okay but could be duplicate. Might be better to put shift/hours only in Schedule and not repeat in About the role. But About the role already mentioned shift/hours; we could keep it brief without shift/hours. Let's adjust About the role to exclude shift/hours, just location, start date, duration, employment type. Then Schedule will have shift/hours.
Thus:
About the role: location Lynchburg, VA; start date 10/12/2026; duration 20 weeks; employment type travel.
Now schedule: 12‑hour night shifts, 48 hours per week.
Now responsibilities as above.
Requirements: ACLS, BLS, 2 years recent acute care experience; additional certifications may be required.
Skills: ability to stand/walk long periods, bend/lean/stoop, lift 20 lbs, lift up to 50 lbs for patient handling, cope with stress, relate to people of all ages/backgrounds.
Benefits list.
Now ensure we use - for any list. For Benefits we have a list; we can make
.
Now check for any other substantive info: The posting mentions "Progressive Care Unit RNs will utilize computer equipment to monitor cardiac and other vital information..." That's part of responsibilities; we covered tasks but maybe we missed that specific duty. The tasks list includes monitoring equipment; we have "Monitor and adjust specialized equipment used on patients, and interpret and record electronic displays." That covers.
Also "Close observation is necessary as many PCU patients receive a significant amount of complex medications, sometimes through an intravenous line that may need to be adjusted or titrated." That's covered by medication administration and IV tasks.
Also "The PCU RN is sometimes also called a step-down nurse, and the PCU is also known as cardiac stepdown, medical stepdown, neuro stepdown, surgical stepdown and ER holding." That's descriptive; could be included in About the role as extra detail. We'll add a sentence.
Also "As a PCU Travel Nurse, you should be prepared to perform the following tasks:" then list. Already captured.
Now ensure we didn't miss any requirement: "Requirements*: ACLS, BLS, 2 Years * Additional certifications may be required before beginning an assignment." Good.
Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate: No EEO etc.
Now produce HTML fragment.
