Proposal:

The “Travel Nursing” article on Wikipedia is lacking information about everything regarding travel nursing. It is a C-class article. After reading the original article, I researched some more details that could be added and I planned to add information about pay, assignment, and requirements, to the current article. To be more specific, I planned to add more information to pay, while the current article gives some details, there could be more added. Next, for assignment the original article did not have much knowledge regarding the travel nursing assignment, I found some information that will be added to make it more informative. Then, I planned to add to requirements, which meant education status and what had to be completed before becoming a travel nurse. Lastly, Covid 19, I wanted to add more information to this part of the article, the article described the importance but there could be more added.

Article body

Pay:

Adding: Travel nurses assigned to rapid response and “crisis” situations, more specifically nurses needed to help in contexts involving natural disasters, are typically compensated more for their work. Travel nurses may work between 36 to 48 hours (about 2 days) per week with over time included. Additionally, travel nurses may receive bonuses. Hospital bonuses range from U.S. $250 to U.S. $5000. Added a period to the last sentence in the first paragraph.

Assignment:

Adding: Travel nurses can travel and work all around, and they can even travel abroad. Staffing agencies often assist nurses get passports and work visas for international jobs. Travel nurses could be assigned to various locations, including hospitals, clinics, community health center, private practices, rehabilitation facilities, and nursing homes.

Requirements:

Adding: A comma to the first sentence after "nursing program," followed with adding "and" right after that comma. Also including that travel nurses have to graduate from an accredited nursing program. States that are included in NLC, which added were Texas, Florida or Arizona. Travel Nurses are required to have their nursing license with the appropriate state, but they will also need the basic certifications for Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) to sign on with a travel nursing agency.

Feedback from Partner
I see the sources listed and they all appear very good. However, the sources are not linked so I can not check up on if the links are working or make sure all the information is represented correctly. Organization

The first sentence of the addition to Pay could be made more concise. Also the third sentence has a spelling error of "cost" and could be considered a run-on sentence. It is all very good points they just need separated. Also a comma added to the $5,000 at the end of that section. In the last sentence of the assignment section, I think that the comma after "included" could be removed. In the requirements section the only change I would make is to make the sentences a little more concise. They were a bit repetitive.
