Certified Respiratory Therapist - CRT - 24 or 36 Hours/Week - Nights
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 sections: The posting includes:
- Intro: "Why work for Nebraska Methodist Health System? At Nebraska Methodist Health System, we focus on providing exceptional care..." This is about the organization/culture. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". The allowed headings include "About the role". We'll use that.
- Job Summary: includes location, address, up to $30,000 sign on bonus, and description of responsibilities (the paragraph after). Actually the job summary includes location and sign on bonus, then "Responsible for the assessment...". That is part of responsibilities.
- Responsibilities: a long list of duties (starting with "Essential Functions Performs routine modalities..."). We'll need to turn that into
- items.
- Schedule: "Schedule 6:30p-7a, varied schedule, 2 weekends per month requirement and rotating holidays." That's specific schedule info, so we can create a Schedule section.
- Pay: The posting mentions "Up to $30,000 Sign on Bonus for qualifying candidates". That's a sign-on bonus, not base pay. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does mention sign-on bonus, which is a form of pay/benefit. Could be considered Pay? The allowed headings include Pay. Since they mention a sign-on bonus, we could include a Pay section with that detail. However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." They do state sign-on bonus, so we can include Pay section with that. But we need to ensure we don't create a Benefits section unless they state benefits. They mention "We offer competitive pay, excellent benefits and a great work environment". That's a generic statement but not specific benefits. The instruction says never create Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. They mention "excellent benefits" but not specific. Likely we should not create a Benefits section because it's not specific. We could include a short paragraph about benefits in the About the role? But better to not create a Benefits section.
- Requirements/Education/Experience/License/Certification: This is qualifications. We can have a Requirements section (or Qualifications). The allowed headings include Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide. The posting includes Education, Experience, License/Certification, Skills/Knowledge And Abilities, Physical Requirements, Job Hazards. We can combine into Requirements and maybe Skills. But we should not create thin sections. Perhaps we can have one "Requirements" section that includes education, experience, license/certification, skills, physical requirements, job hazards as a list. However the instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a Requirements section with
- for each bullet.
But we also have a separate Skills/Knowledge And Abilities section; we could incorporate that into Requirements as well.
We need to avoid duplication. Also we need to remove boilerplate like EEO statement at the end.
We need to preserve all substantive information: location, address, sign-on bonus, responsibilities list, schedule, education, experience, license/certification, skills, physical requirements, job hazards.
We also have a paragraph about Methodist Nebraska Methodist Health System description (About Methodist...). That's also substantive about the organization. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate "About the organization". But allowed headings only include About the role. We'll put that in About the role.
Thus sections: About the role (intro + organization description), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (education, experience, license/certification, skills, physical requirements, job hazards), Schedule, Pay (sign-on bonus). Possibly also Benefits? Not needed.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not present.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: combine the "Why work for..." paragraph and the "About Methodist Nebraska Methodist Health System is made up..." paragraph. We'll put them in
tags.
Then Responsibilities: we need to extract each duty as list items. The responsibilities paragraph is a long sentence with many items separated by periods. We'll split into logical items.
Let's list them:

- Assists with patient needs when asked whenever possible.
- Works toward improving interdepartmental relations.

We could keep the last sentence as a note but it's still substantive. We'll include as list item.
