We need to output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections have real content.
- About the role: could include description of assignment, facility, shift, etc. We'll put overview.
- Responsibilities: list duties: managing ventilation, aerosol therapy, bedside pulmonary function tests, arterial line placement, oxygen management, patient education, performing ABGs, drawing from lines, using systems, etc.
- Requirements: Minimum 1 year experience, teaching hospital experience, trauma experience, etc.

- Pay: mention Pay package based on 12 hour shifts and 36.0 hours per week with tax-free stipend amount to be determined. That's real but vague; still we have content: "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." That's not placeholder like "commensurate with experience". It's specific enough? It says amount to be determined, but still we have info about basis. According to rule: do NOT include Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state pay package based on shifts and hours, with tax-free stipend amount to be determined. That's stating something, so we can include Pay section with that sentence.
- Schedule: we have shift details: 12 hour shifts, days, 3x12hrs, 36 hrs/wk, every other weekend required, floating required, no call requirements. Also holiday coverage required based on holidays. So we can include Schedule section.
We must not include headings with filler. Ensure each section has substantive content.
We must not include Job ID etc. Also remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll produce something like:

About the role
...
Then maybe- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like start date, duration, etc. Those could go in About the role or maybe a separate section? There's no specific heading for assignment details; we can put them in About the role.
Let's craft About the role paragraph: include location Columbus, Georgia; specialty; discipline; start date Oct 12, 2026; duration 24 weeks; 36 hours per week; shift 12 hour days; employment type travel; facility description: level 2 trauma center with Level 3 NICU, interventional stroke certified, regional transport resource; patient population infants to geriatrics primarily adult with some pediatric intubated; openings 1.
We need to preserve all substantive info: also mention "Slate gray scrub color required", "Maximum 7 days RTO per contract", etc. Those could go under Additional Information but we don't have a heading for that; we could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? Probably better to put them under About the role as additional details.
But we must not invent sections. We can include them in About the role as part of description.
Responsibilities: list duties.
Requirements: list experience, teaching hospital, trauma, etc.
Qualifications: list certifications, license, Epic experience.
Skills: list specific skills.
Benefits: list benefits from American Traveler.
Pay: mention pay package.
Schedule: mention shift pattern, weekends, floating, holiday coverage, no call.
Let's ensure we don't repeat info across sections unnecessarily but it's okay if some overlap? Ideally we keep distinct.
Let's draft.
