or drop it. So FLSA status is minor metadata; we can include in a p. - Qualifications: includes EDUCATION, Experience, LICENSES AND CERTIFICATIONS, Knowledge And Abilities, Essential Functions (People, Service, Quality/Safety, Finance, Growth/Innovation), Supplemental Requirements (Uniform, On-call, Travel), Company Profile. We need to map to sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (maybe education/experience?), Qualifications (licenses/certs?), Skills (knowledge and abilities), Benefits (none?), Pay (none), Schedule (none). We should only include sections with real content. We have no explicit Pay or Schedule info. Benefits not mentioned. So we should omit those sections. We need to include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also "Supplemental Requirements" could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? But we have to use only the allowed headings. We could put supplemental info under Requirements or Qualifications as appropriate. Let's decide: - About the role: intro paragraph(s) describing role. - Responsibilities: list of duties (the bullet about leading unit and shared governance etc). Also maybe include other responsibilities from Essential Functions? Those are extensive; they could be considered responsibilities as well. The posting includes many essential functions categories: People Essential Functions, Service Essential Functions, Quality/Safety Essential Functions, Finance Essential Functions, Growth/Innovation Essential Functions. Those are essentially responsibilities/duties. So we should capture them as list items under Responsibilities. Thus we need to extract all those essential functions items. Let's list them: People Essential Functions: - Fosters staff engagement by demonstrating active listening, requesting and acknowledging feedback, making equitable decisions, providing rationale when appropriate, and supporting organizational goals. - Anticipates the needs of the staff members and proactively offers assistance. - Role models inter-professional communication, which includes active listening and teaching, and assists with staff stress management as needed. - Improves departmental scores for turnover/retention on unit-based scorecard. - Role models fair and consistent leadership skills for effective team dynamics and team building strategies through problem solving, coaching, and developing staff. - Coaches staff to use efficient and effective communication to establish and maintain a team environment, and to include the patient and family as a part of the team regarding their plan of care. - Provides input into staff performance reviews, as appropriate. - Functions as a mentor and resource to unit staff, provides oversight for students/new employee/preceptorships. - Identifies levels of organizational conflict and applies tools to effectively resolve concerns, complaints or conflict with patients, families, physicians and other inter-professional healthcare team members.

Supplemental Requirements: - Uniform: Yes - Scrubs: Yes - Business professional: No - Other (department approved): No - ON-CALL***Note that employees may be required to be on-call during emergencies (ie. Disaster, Severe Weather Events, etc) regardless of selection below. - On Call* Yes - TRAVEL** Travel specifications may vary by department May require travel within the Houston Metropolitan area Yes May require travel outside Houston Metropolitan area No Company Profile: description of hospital. We need to decide where to put company profile. Could be part of About the role? Or maybe a separate section? Not in allowed headings. Could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include it somewhere. Perhaps we can add a
after About the role describing the company profile. Since not a heading, we can just include as paragraph. Similarly, supplemental requirements (uniform, on-call, travel) could be included as a short p under Requirements or Qualifications. We need to avoid creating sections with placeholder text. We have no Pay or Schedule or Benefits specifics, so omit those sections. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Now we need to fill each with appropriate content. About the role: combine intro paragraph(s) and maybe company profile? Actually company profile is separate but we can include as a paragraph after About the role? But that would be duplicate heading? Better to include company profile as part of About the role? The instruction: About the role heading for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). So we can put the role description and also company profile under About the role? Might be okay but could be mixing. However we must preserve all substantive info; we can include company profile as a paragraph under About the role after the role description. That seems acceptable. Responsibilities: list all essential functions items plus the earlier responsibilities bullet. Requirements: education, experience, maybe FLSA status? Could include education and experience. Qualifications: licenses and certifications, maybe also preferred certifications. Skills: knowledge and abilities (the list under Knowledge And Abilities). Also maybe include supplemental requirements? But supplemental requirements are more like requirements; but we already used Requirements for education/experience. Could put supplemental under Requirements as well. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's think. We have five sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We can allocate: - About the role: role description + company profile. - Responsibilities: all essential functions (People, Service, Quality/Safety, Finance, Growth/Innovation) plus the earlier "Responsibilities for this position may include but are not limited to..." bullet. - Requirements: Education, Experience, FLSA status (maybe), Supplemental Requirements (uniform, on-call, travel). Could also include "Must obtain permanent Texas license within 60 days" etc? That's license, maybe under Qualifications. - Qualifications: Licenses and Certifications (required and preferred). - Skills: Knowledge And Abilities list. We must ensure we don't repeat info. Let's extract each piece. Education: "Graduate of education program approved by the credentialing body for the required credential(s) indicated below in the Certifications, Licenses and Registrations section" Experience: "Twenty four months of clinical nursing experience with demonstration of progressive leadership skills" Licenses and Certifications Required: - RN - Registered Nurse - Texas State Licensure - Texas Board of Nursing - PSV Compact Licensure - Must obtain permanent Texas license within 60 days (if establishing Texas residency) - BLS - Basic Life Support or Instructor (AHA) - American Heart Association - ACLS - Advanced Cardiac Life Support or Instructor (AHA) - American Heart Association - NIHSTROKE - National Institute of Health Stroke Scale Certification (AHA) - American Heart Association within 4 months Preferred: - Magnet - ANCC Recognized Certification - NVCRISIS - Nonviolent Crisis Intervention or Instructor (CPI) Knowledge And Abilities list: - Demonstrates the skills and competencies necessary to safely perform the assigned job, determined through ongoing skills, competency assessments, and performance evaluations - Sufficient proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing the English language necessary to perform the essential functions of this job, especially with regard to activities impacting patient or employee safety or security - Ability to effectively communicate with patients, physicians, family members and co-workers in a manner consistent with a customer service focus and application of positive language principles - Strong assessment, organizational and problem solving skills as evidenced by capacity to prioritize
