Early Phase Research Nurse

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description about organization and mission; we can put that under "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". The instruction: use

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. 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: The posting includes: - Intro about Tennessee Oncology (mission, etc.) - "Why Join Us?" (looking for talented individuals) - Job Description: Early Phase Clinical Research Nurse role description. - Essential Functions (list of duties) - Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (list) - Education & Experience (list of requirements) - Possibly certifications required. We need to decide sections: Could have "About the role" (intro + mission), "Responsibilities" (essential functions), "Qualifications" (education & experience + knowledge/skills), maybe "Skills" separate? But we should avoid thin sections. Could combine Knowledge, Skills & Abilities and Education & Experience into "Qualifications". Or separate "Requirements" and "Skills". The instruction says we can use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content. We have no explicit Pay, Benefits, Schedule info. So we should not create those sections. We have content for About the role (organization mission, why join us). We have Responsibilities (essential functions). We have Requirements (education & experience, certifications). We have Skills (knowledge, skills & abilities). Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we have both education/experience and knowledge/skills. Could make "Qualifications" for education/experience and "Skills" for knowledge, skills & abilities. Or "Requirements" for education/experience and "Skills" for knowledge, skills & abilities. The instruction says we can use those headings; we need to decide. Better: Use "About the role" for intro/mission. Use "Responsibilities" for essential functions (list). Use "Qualifications" for education & experience (including certifications). Use "Skills" for knowledge, skills & abilities (list). Avoid duplication. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Early Phase Clinical Research Nurse". Good. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the mission statement, why join us, etc. Also include the essential functions list items (many). Also include knowledge, skills & abilities list items. Also include education & experience requirements (including RN license, BSN preferred, ADN considered, 5 years clinical nursing and at least 1 year research/oncology nursing required, ONS Chemotherapy – Immunotherapy certification required at time of or within 3 months of hire, AHA or ARC BLS certification required at time of hire or within 3 months of hire, ACRP/CCRP certification preferred, OCN preferred). Also include knowledge of medical and research terminology etc. We need to format lists with

  • . For prose, use

    . We need to remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none evident. We need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text. All sections will have content. We'll output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:
