We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Position Summary, Responsibilities, Requirements (Qualifications), Skills, maybe Benefits? No benefits mentioned. Pay? Not mentioned. Schedule? Not mentioned. So we include sections that have real content: About the role (maybe Position Summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (Qualifications), Skills (maybe Required Skills). Also maybe Performance Expectations? Could be part of responsibilities. But we should not create sections with filler. We'll include sections: About the role (from Position Summary), Responsibilities (Position Responsibilities), Requirements (Qualifications), Skills (Required Skills). Also maybe Performance Expectations? Could be considered part of responsibilities but we can include as separate if content is substantive. The posting includes PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS with Specific Programs etc. That's substantive. So we could include a section Performance Expectations. However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Performance Expectations into Responsibilities? But they are distinct. Might be okay to include.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for section headings.
We need to use
for section headings.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need to convert paragraphs into list items? The responsibilities are many sentences; we can make each bullet a responsibility. Use
- . Similarly for qualifications list: education, experience, etc. For skills list: bullet list.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details. That's a lot. We'll need to output many bullet points preserving the text.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless present. Not present.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". There is a phrase "Performs assigned clinical duties commensurate to any licensed nurse in the state of New Jersey." That's within responsibilities; we keep it as is, not as a heading.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:
About the role

Provide surveillance in order to identify, investigate and record data concerning infections and initiate infection control measures as directed by the Infection Control Committee. Utilizes the nursing process to meet a variety of health care needs with ambulatory care as primary focus.

But we need to keep the text exactly as given; we can keep as paragraph.
Then Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
- Following assessment of the institution develops an Infection Control Program appropriate to the institution and its needs.
- Serves as member of the CQI and MAC Committee and provides information including:Report of the number and type of infections identified since the last meeting.List of isolated patients.Report on any problems encountered with negative trends, outbreaks, exposures etc.Suggestions submitted by members of the health care team for improving infection control.Health and Safety rounds of Healthcare Unit(s).
... etc.
We need to split each sentence into separate li? The instruction: use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't say each sentence must be separate li, but we can treat each bullet as a duty. We'll break at each period that starts a new duty. However there are long sentences with colons and lists inside. To preserve all info, we can keep the whole sentence as one li. That's okay.
We'll need to go through the responsibilities text and create li for each distinct duty. Let's extract responsibilities section from the posting:
"Position Responsibilities Following assessment of the institution develops an Infection Control Program appropriate to the institution and its needs.Serves as member of the CQI and MAC Committee and provides information including:Report of the number and type of infections identified since the last meeting.List of isolated patients.Report on any problems encountered with negative trends, outbreaks, exposures etc.Suggestions submitted by members of the health care team for improving infection control.Health and Safety rounds of Healthcare Unit(s).Serves as member of the Institutional Safety Committee.

Serves as a liaison between departments of health and the correctional facility. Provides monthly numbers for statewide Infection Control and Health Services Reports (as Applicable to facility)Investigates, completes reports and makes the appropriate notifications for all occupational safety occurrences, safety devices malfunction etc.All other duties as assigned."
We need to split at each period that starts a new duty. However there are abbreviations like "i.e." which includes a period; we need to be careful not to split incorrectly. But we can approximate.
Given the complexity, maybe we can keep the whole responsibilities as a single paragraph inside
but the rule says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we must use list. We'll create li items for each distinct duty separated by a period that is followed by a capital letter (or after a colon?). We'll do our best.
Similarly for Requirements (Qualifications) section: "Qualifications POSITION REQUIRMENTS: Minimum Education Completion from an accredited school facility with a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing (preferred).Current, unrestricted license to practice as a Registered Nurse in the state in which the facility is located (maintain a current copy of license on file at the facility at all times). Minimum Work Experience Minimum of two (2) years of experience as an Infection Control Nurse (Preferred).Previous correctional health care experience preferred."
We'll split into li.
Skills: "Required Skills Updates and maintains skills and knowledge related to correctional health care and infection control.Excellent critical thinking and assessment skills.Strong clinical skills with ability to react decisively in emergency situations.Ability to make decisions independently.Assertive, empathetic and able to provide care objectively.Strong interpersonal communication and customer service skills.Excellent oral and written communication skills.Basic computer skills.Ability to command the respect and confidence of inmate patients and staff, and philosophically committed to the objectives of the facility.Maintains an active Basic Life Support (BLS) certification."
We'll split.
Performance Expectations: we could include as separate section.
Performance Expectations text: "PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS Specific Programs Tuberculosis Surveillance – The ICN directs the facility surveillance program in full compliance with guidelines promulgated in the Infection Control ManualThe ICN functions as the resource person for all health staff education pertaining to the implanting, reading, documenting and follow-up of PPD results.The ICN implants PPDs as needed, maintains logs of results, monitors x-raysThe ICN informs the Medical Director of all suspicious x-raysThe ICN works with all resources to promptly obtain advanced diagnostic studies, such as chest CT scans, where indicated.The ICN works with the Departments of Health to implement treatment.The ICN maintains statistics on a real-time basis, including, but not limited to:number inmates screened,number with positive PPD in millimeters – giving the details if a positive is 6mm or 16mmnumber of x-rays done, number of x-rays positive, number of LTBI cases, number on INH prophylaxis, number refused.The ICN will document all discharge planning for TB cases.

We'll split into li.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
We'll need to escape any HTML special characters like &, <, >. The text includes ampersand? Not much. There's "CFG Health Systems, LLC." includes a comma and period fine. There's "PREA and HIPPA". No < or >. There's "ID Chronic Care". Fine.
We'll produce:
