Not clear) - EEO Employer/Disabled/Protected Veteran (boilerplate to remove) We need sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe education + licensure?), Qualifications (maybe experience?), Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities), Benefits (sign-on bonus), Pay (compensation ranges), Schedule (maybe shift work? Not explicit but mention rotating weekends, holidays, on call, shift work). Could include schedule info under Schedule. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Pay (compensation grade ranges). Benefits: sign-on bonus. Schedule: rotating weekends, holidays, on call, shift work. We need to avoid duplication. Also remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. We need to preserve all substantive info. So include patient population info maybe under About the role or Responsibilities? Could be part of About the role. We'll include in About the role paragraph. We need to output only HTML fragment, no or . Use

for section headings. Use
  • for lists. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading with the job title. We need to decide sections: - About the role: paragraph summarizing role, patient population, maybe mention sign-on bonus? Actually bonus is benefit. - Responsibilities: list of essential job statements. - Requirements: maybe education and licensure required. - Qualifications: maybe preferred education, experience, etc. But we could combine Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education & licensure), Qualifications (experience, skills, abilities), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see content: About the role: we have description + patient population. Responsibilities: list of duties (8 items). Requirements: education required, licensure required. Qualifications: preferred education, preferred certification, preferred experience, other KSAs required (rotating weekends, holidays, on call), cultural responsiveness (N/A ignore), plus maybe physical requirements? Could be part of Qualifications or separate? Might be too many sections. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section covering education, licensure, experience, KSAs. But the instruction says use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't require using all; we can choose which to include. We could have: - About the role (paragraph) - Responsibilities (ul) - Requirements (ul) covering education, licensure, experience, KSAs (rotating weekends, holidays, on call) - Benefits (ul) sign-on bonus - Pay (ul) compensation ranges - Schedule (ul) rotating weekends, holidays, on call, shift work (maybe duplicate with Requirements). Might be redundant. Better: Have Requirements cover education, licensure, experience. Have Skills cover KSAs (rotating weekends, holidays, on call, physical demands, etc). Benefits separate. Pay separate. Schedule maybe not needed if covered in Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see what we have: - About the role: decent paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of 8 items. - Requirements: education (required + preferred), licensure (required + preferred). That's a few items. - Skills: KSAs (rotating weekends, holidays, on call, cultural responsiveness N/A ignore, previous experience preferred, physical demands, hazards, mental/sensory). That's a lot. - Benefits: sign-on bonus. - Pay: compensation ranges. - Schedule: maybe not needed if we already have shift work in Skills. But we could combine Skills and Requirements into one "Requirements" section to avoid thin sections. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we should have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements (includes education, licensure, experience, KSAs, physical demands, etc) - Benefits - Pay That's 5 sections. Schedule maybe omitted because covered in Requirements (shift work, rotating weekends, holidays, on call). The instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. So we can omit Schedule if we think it's covered. But we need to ensure we don't lose schedule specifics: rotating weekends, holidays, on call, shift work. Those are in KSAs and Physical Requirements (Perform shift work). So we can include them under Requirements. Thus final sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Now we need to format. About the role: paragraph(s). Could be two paragraphs: role description and patient population. Use

    for each. Responsibilities:

    • each duty. Requirements: we need to list education required, education preferred, licensure required, licensure preferred, experience minimum, other KSAs (rotating weekends, holidays, on call, shift work, physical demands, hazards, mental/sensory). Also maybe previous experience preferred. We'll make a list. But we need to avoid too granular? It's okay. Benefits:
