Travel Step-Down RN - $1,774 per week
for section headings, - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide which content goes into which section.
Let's outline:
About the role
... prose describing role, tasks, environment, etc. Could include the description of PCU, what they do, location, start date, duration, shift, etc. But some of those details might be better under Schedule. However About the role can include general description: "We're looking for Progressive Care Unit RNs for an immediate travel nurse opening in Waco, TX. As a PCU Travel Nurse, you will care for patients who require close monitoring..." etc. Also mention specialty: Cardiac Stepdown, discipline: RN, employment type: Travel.
We could also include location, start date, duration, shift under Schedule section.
Thus About the role: description of role and responsibilities in prose.
Responsibilities: list of specific duties (tasks). Use
- .
Requirements: list of certifications and experience: ACLS, BLS, NIH, 3 Years (maybe years experience?), plus 1-2 years recent acute care experience. Also maybe "Additional certifications may be required before beginning an assignment."
Qualifications: maybe we could skip if not distinct. But we have "good skills for coping with stress and be able to relate to people of all ages and backgrounds." That could be Skills. Also physical requirements: stand/walk, bend/lean/stoop, lift 20 lbs, moving/lifting patients up to 50 lbs. Those could be under Requirements or Skills. Let's treat them as Requirements (physical). Skills: coping with stress, relate to people.
But we have many sections; we should prefer few substantive sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called Requirements (including certifications, experience, physical, skills). But the instruction says we can use those headings if we have content. It's okay to have multiple sections if they have real content. However we should avoid thin sections. Let's see if we have enough for each:
- About the role: good prose.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (multiple items) -> good.
- Requirements: list of certifications, experience, physical requirements -> good.
- Skills: maybe just coping with stress and relating to people -> could be thin but still specific. Could merge into Requirements.
- Benefits: list -> good.
- Pay: short prose about pay package -> maybe thin but still specific; we could keep.
- Schedule: details about start date, duration, shift, hours -> good.
Thus we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 6 sections. That's okay.
We must not include empty sections.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content across sections unnecessarily, but we can include relevant details.
Let's draft each section.
About the role (
About the role
):
Paragraph: "TotalMed RN is seeking a travel nurse RN Cardiac Stepdown for a travel nursing job in Waco, Texas. The position is for a Progressive Care Unit (PCU) RN, also known as a step‑down nurse, with a start date of October 12, 2026, a duration of 13 weeks, and a schedule of 36 hours per week on 12‑hour night shifts. Employment type is travel." Also mention specialty: Cardiac Stepdown, discipline: RN. Also mention that they're looking for Progressive Care Unit RNs for an immediate travel nurse opening in Waco, TX. Also mention that the right RN should have 1-2 years recent acute care experience. Also mention that PCU is also known as cardiac stepdown, medical stepdown, neuro stepdown, surgical stepdown and ER holding. Also mention that as a PCU Travel Nurse you will care for patients who require close monitoring and frequent assessment, but aren't unstable enough to need ICU care. Also mention that PCU RNs utilize computer equipment to monitor cardiac and other vital information, detecting changes and enabling intervention of life‑threatening or emergency situations. Also mention close observation needed due to complex medications, sometimes via IV lines needing adjustment/titration. Also mention that 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. This is a bit repetitive but we need to preserve all substantive info. We'll try to include all.
But we must avoid duplication; we can combine.
Let's write a concise paragraph covering all.
Now Responsibilities (Responsibilities
):
List items:
- 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.
We could also include physical demands? But those are more requirements. We'll keep them separate.
Requirements (Requirements
):
List:
- Current ACLS certification
- Current BLS certification
- Current NIH certification (maybe NIH Stroke Scale? but we keep as NIH)
- Minimum 3 years of relevant experience (or "3 Years" as posted)
- 1‑2 years of recent acute care experience
- Ability to stand and walk for long periods; bend, lean, and stoop without difficulty
- Ability to lift 20 pounds; moving or lifting patients may require up to 50 pounds
- Additional certifications may be required before beginning an assignment
We could also include "Progressive Care Unit RN" as discipline but that's already covered.
Benefits (Benefits
):
List:
- Weekly pay
- Guaranteed Hours
- Continuing Education
- 401k retirement plan
- Sick pay
- Wellness and fitness programs
- Referral bonus
- Employee assistance programs
- Medical benefits
- Dental benefits

- Benefits start day 1
Pay (Pay
):
Paragraph: "Pay package is based on 12‑hour shifts and 36 hours per week (subject to confirmation) with a tax‑free stipend amount to be determined."
Schedule (Schedule
):
Paragraph: "Start date: October 12, 2026; duration: 13 weeks; shift: 12‑hour nights; hours per week: 36; employment type: travel."
We could also include location Waco, Texas but that's already in About the role.
Now we must ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, etc. The posting didn't have that besides maybe "TotalMed RN is a Top Ten..." which is about the company; we included a brief description in About the role? Actually we included TotalMed RN seeking... but we didn't include the paragraph about TotalMed being a Top Ten agency etc. That's boilerplate? It's about the company; maybe we should keep it as it's substantive? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The TotalMed description is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered company overview; it's not required to preserve? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do
for prose. We need to decide which content goes into which section. Let's outline:
