Certified Nurse Assistant, Nurse Assistant, or Trainee - Step Down Unit - Day Shift
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to extract substantive content: Facility location, department, scheduled weekly hours, hours, shift. Also description of organization (CoxHealth) and honors. Benefits: "Medical, Vision, Dental, Retirement with Employer Match and more (20+ hrs/week)". Also a link to benefits page but we should not include application instructions; but benefits description is okay.
Job Description: Provide basic patient care under direction of nursing staff. Perform duties such as take vitals, bathe, dress, move patients, change linens and other duties as assigned. Obtains information on patient condition as requested by the nursing staff, and reports any changes in patient condition.
Then there is a "Nurse Assistant Training Program Job Summary" etc. Actually there are two job summaries: one for Nurse Assistant Training Program and one for Certified Nurse Assistant/Nurse Assistant. The posting seems to be for a Nurse Assistant role? It includes both training program and CNA requirements. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include both sections? Possibly combine responsibilities and requirements.
We need sections: About the role (facility, department, hours, shift, organization description). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (education, experience, licensure). Skills (communication, time management, etc). Benefits (medical, vision, dental, retirement). Possibly Schedule (scheduled weekly hours, hours, shift) but schedule info could be in About the role. The instruction says we can create Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state scheduled weekly hours: 36 Hours: 6:30 AM - 7:00 PM Work Shift: Day Shift. So we could have a Schedule section. However they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine schedule into About the role. But we need to decide.
We also have Benefits: "Medical, Vision, Dental, Retirement with Employer Match and more (20+ hrs/week)". That's specific enough for Benefits section.
We should not include Pay section because no pay info.
We should not include duplicated lines.
We need to remove boilerplate like "For a comprehensive list of benefits, please click here: Benefits | CoxHealth". That's a link; we could keep the benefits description but maybe drop the link as it's application instruction? It's not exactly application instruction but it's a link to benefits page. Might be considered navigation? Safer to drop the link and just keep the benefits description.
We need to preserve all substantive info: The honors list: Named one of Modern Healthcare’s Best Places to work five times. Named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces, Greatest Workplaces in Healthcare (2025, 2026), Greatest Workplaces for Women (2023, 2024), and Greatest Workplaces for Diversity (2024) by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group. Acknowledged by Forbes as one of the Best Employers for New Grads. Healthcare Innovation's Top Companies to Work for in Healthcare (2025). That's substantive.

Perform duties such as take vitals, bathe, dress, move patients, change linens and other duties as assigned. Obtains information on patient condition as requested by the nursing staff, and reports any changes in patient condition.
Then there is Nurse Assistant Training Program Job Summary: Functions within a classroom and clinical learning environment to obtain training as unlicensed assistive personnel.

During clinical rotation, may perform duties such as taking vitals, bathing, dressing, moving patients, changing linens and other duties within their scope of practice as directed.

We need to avoid duplication: The responsibilities appear multiple times. We should consolidate.
We need to decide sections: Perhaps:
- About the role (facility, department, hours, shift, organization overview/honors)
- Responsibilities (list of duties)
- Requirements (education, experience, licensure)
- Skills (list)
- Benefits (medical, vision, dental, retirement)
We could also include Schedule but maybe incorporate into About the role.
We must not create empty sections.

We need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The honors list includes specifics; we captured them. The facility location captured. Department captured. Hours captured. The job description captured. The Nurse Assistant Training Program details: we didn't include that explicitly. The posting includes a training program summary; we might need to incorporate that as part of responsibilities or requirements? The training program is about obtaining training as unlicensed assistive personnel; maybe it's relevant to the role. The instructions say preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the training program summary somewhere. Could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? It's a separate job summary for the training program. Since the role may be for a Nurse Assistant (including training program), we should include that content.
We could add a subsection under Responsibilities or maybe a separate section "Training Program". But we only have allowed headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put training program details under Responsibilities (as they are duties) or under Requirements (as they are experience/education). The training program summary describes functions within classroom and clinical learning environment to obtain training as unlicensed assistive personnel; while in clinical learning environment, will provide basic patient care under direction and supervision; during clinical rotation may perform duties such as taking vitals, bathing, dressing, moving patients, changing linens and other duties within scope of practice as directed; obtains information on patient condition and reports changes; at end of training,
