CLC Registered Nurse
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs · Cheyenne, WY · 1 mo ago
Full-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? Duties. Requirements? Qualifications. Benefits? Pay? Schedule? The posting includes VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package: includes Pay, Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, Work Schedule, Telework, Relocation/Recruitment Incentives, PCS. So we can have Benefits section summarizing those. Pay: "Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards". Schedule: "40 hours per week". Also note Telework: Not Available, Virtual: not a virtual position. Could include in Schedule or Benefits? Probably separate Schedule section. Benefits: list of PTO, retirement, insurance, licensure, etc.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. There's none.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have:
About the role
maybe not needed? The summary says "The Registered Nurse (RN) in this role is located in the Community Living Center (CLC) of the CHYVAMC." That's about role. Could be a short paragraph.
Then Responsibilities: duties list.
Then Qualifications: includes basic requirements and grade determinations. Could be a list.
Then Benefits: list of total rewards.
Then Pay: maybe part of Benefits? But we can separate Pay as its own heading if content exists: "Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards". That's specific.
Schedule: "40 hours per week". Also note Telework not available, Virtual not a virtual position. Could include.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
Let's extract details.
Summary: "The Registered Nurse (RN) in this role is located in the Community Living Center (CLC) of the CHYVAMC." Also later: "This person performs the following roles: Charge Nurse - Medication Administrator and provider of clinical treatment for veterans on the unit". etc.
Duties list: many bullet-like sentences.
Let's parse duties:
- Responsible and accountable for all elements of the nursing process when providing and/or supervising direct patient care
- Assesses - plans - implements - and evaluates care based on age specific components
- Assumes responsibility for the coordination of care focused on patient education - self-management - and customer satisfaction throughout the continuum of care
- Administers medications and procedures per established policies and guidelines
- Influences care outcomes by collaborating with members of the interdisciplinary team
- Executes position responsibilities that demonstrate leadership - experience - and creative approaches to management of complex client care
- The Community Living Center (CLC) Registered Nurse (RN) executes position responsibilities that demonstrate leadership - experience - and creative approaches to management of complex resident care

- Evaluates outcomes of evidence-based decisions and practice changes for individuals - groups - and populations
- Responsible for the documented outcomes at the program or service level
- The CLC RN collaborates with the Minimum Data Set (MDS) coordinator to ensure accuracy of the Resource Utilization Group (RUG) score
- The Registered Nurse (RN) in this role is located in the Community Living Center (CLC) of the CHYVAMC (duplicate)
- This person performs the following roles: Charge Nurse - Medication Administrator and provider of clinical treatment for veterans on the unit
- The incumbent follows provider orders and is competent to start and maintain Intravenous therapy
- As Charge Nurse - maintains the daily flow of the unit - creates and issues daily reports - verifies orders - communicates with providers - families and visitors
- The RN is expected to assign and supervise the work of licensed practical nurses and certified nurse aides to ensure the flow of the unit meets the clinical requirements and is performed safely to meet quality standards
- The CLC RN is responsible for ensuring artifacts of cultural change promote residents rights and a home like environment
- The RN has assigned collateral responsibilities which may include infection control - wound monitoring and reporting - staffing methodology - Inter-Disciplinary Treatment Team (IDTT) meetings - restorative - reassessment tracking - and or safe patient handling
We need to deduplicate duplicate lines (like location repeated). Keep unique.
Now Qualifications: Basic Requirements: English Language Proficiency, graduation from approved school, etc. Also foreign education equivalency, current full active unrestricted registration, GNT exception, grandfathering provision. Then Grade Determinations: Scope - Education and Dimension criteria for each grade/level. That's a lot of detail. We need to preserve all substantive information; we cannot summarize away detail. But we can list them as - items. However the grade determinations are lengthy with many conditions. We need to include them.
We could structure Qualifications section with subheadings? But only allowed headings are
for section headings. We could have multiple sections: Qualifications, maybe Basic Requirements, Grade Determinations? But the instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we should use those specific headings. So we should have sections like Qualifications (maybe includes both basic requirements and grade determinations). We can put all qualification details under Qualifications heading as a list.
Similarly Benefits heading for total rewards.
Pay heading for competitive salary etc.
Schedule heading for work schedule etc.
We must not invent sections. So we will have:
About the role
(maybe optional but we have summary). Could also skip About the role if not needed? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We have substantive content for About the role (location, role). So include.
Then Responsibilities.
Then Qualifications.
Then Benefits.
Then Pay.
Then Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
Now format.
We'll produce HTML fragment:
About the role
The Registered Nurse (RN) is located in the Community Living Center (CLC) of the CHYVAMC. The RN serves as Charge Nurse, Medication Administrator, and provider of clinical treatment for veterans on the unit.
But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can combine.
Better to keep the summary sentence and the role description.
Let's craft:
The Registered Nurse (RN) in this role is located in the Community Living Center (CLC) of the CHYVAMC. This person performs the following roles: Charge Nurse - Medication Administrator and provider of clinical treatment for veterans on the unit.
That captures.
Now Responsibilities: we need a - list of duties.
We'll list each unique duty.
Let's compile list:

- May have collateral responsibilities including infection control, wound monitoring and reporting, staffing methodology, Inter‑Disciplinary Treatment Team (IDTT) meetings, restorative care, reassessment tracking, and safe patient handling
Now Qualifications: need to include basic requirements and grade determinations.
We'll create a list.

Grade Determinations (Scope – Education and Dimension criteria):
We need to list each grade/level with its requirements.
Let's extract from text:
Nurse I - Level I: Delivers fundamental - knowledge-based care to assigned clients while developing technical competencies. An Associate Degree (ADN) or Diploma in Nursing - with no additional professional nursing required.
Nurse I - Level II: Demonstrates integration of biopsychosocial concepts - cognitive skills and technically competent practice in providing care to clients with basic or complex. An ADN or Diploma in Nursing AND 1 year of specialized nursing experience equivalent to Nurse I - Level 1; OR a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) with no additional professional nursing experience required.

An ADN or Diploma in Nursing AND 2 years of professional nursing experience in which one year is equivalent to Nurse I - Level 2; OR a BSN and 1 year of professional nursing experience equivalent to the Nurse I - Level 2; OR a Master's degree in nursing (MSN)
