Travel Registered Respiratory Therapist - NICU - $2,563 per week
for section headings like "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". But only include sections when there's real content. Let me map the content: - "About the role" could cover the description and assignment overview. - "Responsibilities" from Additional Information (duties). - "Requirements" from Requirements section. - "Qualifications" might overlap with requirements; but there are preferred qualifications like PALS, ACCS, PICU Cardiac, teaching hospital, BSN. - "Skills" could be specific skills like Epic EMR, ventilator management, etc. - "Benefits" from About American Traveler (medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401k, housing stipends, 24/7 support). - "Pay" - the posting says "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 specific; it says "to be determined". According to rules, never create Pay section unless posting actually states them. Since it's not determined, I should not include a Pay section. - "Schedule" - there is shift info: nights, 3x12hrs, 36 hrs/wk, every other weekend/holiday. That's specific, so include Schedule. Also, there are metadata like Job ID, start date, duration, etc. Should fold minor metadata into a short
or drop. The user says do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So I can include a brief paragraph with key details like start date, duration, shift, hours. I need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes "American Traveler Job ID #P-774383." That's a job ID, should not be a heading, maybe include in a paragraph or drop. I'll include in a short paragraph with other metadata. Also "Posted job title: Travel Respiratory Therapist - NICU RT" - the page already shows job title, so don't repeat as heading. Now, structure: I'll create sections: 1. About the role (or Assignment Overview) - include description, shift, hours, start date, length, openings. 2. Responsibilities - from Additional Information duties. 3. Requirements - from Requirements section (required certifications, experience, license). 4. Qualifications - preferred qualifications (PALS, ACCS, PICU Cardiac, teaching hospital, BSN). 5. Skills - specific skills like Epic EMR, ventilator management, airway management, ABG interpretation. 6. Benefits - from About American Traveler. 7. Schedule - shift details, weekend/holiday rotation, floating. But note: "Qualifications" and "Requirements" might be similar. The posting has "Requirements" and "Additional Information" includes duties. There's also "Preferred" items. I'll separate required vs preferred. Also, the "Details" section includes unit details, scheduling model, shift times, hours options, weekend/holiday rotation, floating, Epic EMR. Some of that is schedule, some is job details. I'll organize: - About the role: overview of position, unit, setting. - Schedule: shift, hours, rotation, floating. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: required certifications, experience, license. - Preferred Qualifications: preferred certifications, experience, education. - Skills: technical skills (Epic EMR, ventilator types, airway management, ABG). - Benefits: company benefits. Now, ensure each section has real content. No filler. Let's write HTML. First, a short paragraph for metadata: start date, duration, hours, shift, employment type, job ID maybe. But the user says "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." I'll include a paragraph at the top with key details. Then sections. I'll use
for each section heading.
Use - for lists.
Use
for prose.
Now, let's extract content.
