LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE 3 - 09292026-81383
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to parse the job posting. Key info: - Opening Date/Time, Closing Date/Time: maybe metadata; we can fold into short
or drop. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with opening/closing dates maybe. - Salary (Monthly) $3,229.00 - $4,852.00; Salary (Annually) $38,748.00 - $58,224.00. Also "This classification ... has an approved hiring rate of $4,290.00 monthly/$51,480.00 yearly." So we have pay info. Must include Pay section only if posting actually states them. Yes, we have salary ranges and hiring rate. So we should include a Pay section with that info. - Schedule: The posting mentions "An employee in this class may be assigned to work days, evenings, nights, and/or weekends." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. - Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. No benefits listed. So we should NOT include Benefits section. - Qualifications: There's a Qualifications section with Education and Experience: Currently licensed as a practical nurse and experience equivalent to two years of licensed practical nursing. Necessary Special Qualifications: Currently licensed as a practical nurse with the State of Tennessee or holds a privilege to practice in the State of Tennessee under the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). A valid motor vehicle operator license may be required. Also driver qualifications. So we can include Qualifications (or Requirements). The instruction says use headings like Qualifications, Requirements, Skills. We need to decide which sections to include. We have Qualifications content. Also we have Responsibilities content. Also we have Competencies (KSA's) which could be Skills. So we can have Skills section for competencies. - About the role: There's an Overview paragraph: "Under general supervision, is responsible for licensed practical nursing duties of average difficulty which includes leading others in work; and performs related work as required. This is the lead level class in the Licensed Practical Nurse job series. An employee in this class is assigned to work in a hospital, clinic, institution, or in the home and lead the work of technical nursing staff in the setting. An employee in this class may be assigned to work days, evenings, nights, and/or weekends. This class differs from Licensed Practical Nurse 2 in that the latter is not responsible for leading the work of technical nursing staff." That's about the role. So we can have About the role section. - Responsibilities: Already a list of duties. So Responsibilities section. - Requirements: Could be same as Qualifications? Might combine. But we have Qualifications and also driver qualifications etc. Could put Requirements for things like license, background check, driver's license. But we can also include those under Qualifications. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Qualifications and Requirements into one Qualifications section. But we have separate headings allowed; we can choose to have Qualifications and Skills. Let's see. We have: - About the role (Overview) - Responsibilities (list) - Qualifications (Education & Experience, Necessary Special Qualifications, driver license, background check) - Skills (Competencies/KSA's) - Pay (salary ranges and hiring rate) - Schedule (work days, evenings, nights, weekends) We should not include Benefits. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can condense into prose or list as appropriate, but must not lose detail.
Let's extract all substantive info:
