Infection Control Nurse
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to remove boilerplate etc.
Let's extract content.
About the role: The first sentence: "Under direction, to assist in the planning, development and evaluation of the infection control program and to conduct surveillance and reporting activities and education programs for all hospital personnel involved in patient care."
Also maybe include the mission description? That is about organization, not role. But could be considered "About the role"? The instruction says About the role heading for e.g. About the role, Responsibilities... So we could put the role description there. The mission description is about the organization; not required but could be included as part of About the role? It's substantive but not strictly role. However we could include it as part of About the role to preserve info. But we must not invent. It's okay to include.
But we need to decide: The posting includes a paragraph about SCVH mission etc. That's substantive. Should we include it? Probably yes, under About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the organization" but not allowed headings. So we could incorporate into About the role.
Thus About the role content: combine the initial direction sentence and the mission/organization description.
But we must not repeat job title as heading; we don't have job title.
Now Responsibilities: list of typical tasks. Each sentence ends with a period. We need to make each as
- . Ensure we preserve all.
Let's list them:
- Collects data for analysis, interpretation and reporting of infections;
- Assists in identifying patterns and trends of infections;
- Investigates disease outbreaks and clusters, and employee exposure to communicable disease;
- Reports communicable diseases to the County Health Department;
- Prepares summaries of surveillance and exposure activities;
- Participates in follow-up or corrective action in relation to surveillance activities, as indicated by the Infection Control Supervisor, Hospital Epidemiologist and/or Infection Control Board;
- Presents infection control orientation for all nursing personnel;
- Assists in planning, presenting and evaluating yearly, and as needed, infection control programs for all hospital personnel involved in patient care practice;
- Presents informal educational information during ward rounds as part of surveillance and consultation responsibilities;
- Presents classes on specific infection control areas as indicated by assessment of hospital needs;
- Assists nursing and other hospital departments in development of current, accurate policies and procedures at least every two years or whenever necessary;
- Provides requested problem-solving assistance when infection control problems occur;
- Performs site visits on a regular basis to assist in the development of appropriate and cost effective infection control practices;
- Provides infection control consultation and representation on committees as appointed;
- Assists in the planning, development and evaluation of the infection control program;
- Functions, if appointed, as relief Infection Control Supervisor in his/her absence, in consultation with the Hospital Epidemiologist;
- Assists Infection Control Supervisor with departmental responsibilities as needed (e.g., surveys, consultations, disseminating infection control policies, etc.);
- Maintains professional development by attending and participating in professional organizations, e.g., Association for Practitioners in Infection Control (A.P.I.C.) and local Journal Club;
- Attends programs and conferences in infection control and other related subjects;
- Keeps abreast of current literature in the field of infection control;
- Seeks learning experience to maintain knowledge and skills necessary to function as an Infection Control Nurse.
Note some have trailing semicolons; we can keep as is or remove punctuation? Probably keep as is.
Now Requirements: license proof requirement. Also maybe "Proof of valid California Registered Nurse License is required. Only applicants who attach proof of their State of California license to their job application will be accepted. All applicants who do not attach verification will be rejected."
That's a requirement.
Also maybe "Final Filing Date: The recruitment may be extended or closed as early as 10 days after issue date." That's metadata but could be considered a requirement? It's about application timeline. Might be considered a requirement but it's not a qualification. The instruction says we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we could include it in a short paragraph under Requirements or maybe not include at all. Since it's not a core requirement, we could drop it. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. The final filing date is substantive. However we can include it as a short
under Requirements or maybe under About the role? Better to include under Requirements as a note.
Thus Requirements section: include the license proof paragraph and the final filing date sentence.
Now Qualifications: Education and experience.
From Employment Standards: "Graduate of an approved nursing program (preferably BSN), currently licensed as a Registered Nurse (RN) in California and sufficient education and experience which demonstrate possession of the qualifications necessary to successfully perform the typical tasks noted above."
From Experience Note: "A qualified applicant would typically have educational preparation at the Bachelor's level (BSN), at least three years of acute care experience, and specialized training and expertise or experience in infection control in a teaching institution. Certification in Infection Control (C.I.C.) is preferred."
We need to preserve all details. So we can combine into a Qualifications section with prose or list? Since it's not a list but we can use
. Could also break into bullet list but not required. We'll use
.
Now we have no Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
