Licensed Practical Nurse Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT)

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Let's see what content we have. The posting includes: - Summary: mentions EDRP eligibility, eligibility requirements, program approval, award amount up to $200,000, eligibility period one to five years, former EDRP participants ineligible. - Qualifications: includes basic requirements (citizenship, English proficiency, education, licensure, grade determinations for GS-3 to GS-6, etc.), preferred experience, physical requirements. - Duties: major duties list. - Work Schedule: 0800-1630 Telework: Not Available Virtual: This is not a virtual position - Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not Authorized EDRP Authorized: Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply for incentive - Contact V21CCOEEDRP@va.gov - the EDRP Coordinator for questions/assistance - Learn more Permanent Change of Station (PCS): Not Authorized We need to decide sections. We have info about EDRP (benefit? maybe Benefits). The posting mentions EDRP authorized, award amount up to $200k, eligibility period one to five years. That's a benefit (student loan repayment). So we can have a Benefits section with that info. We have Work Schedule: 0800-1630, Telework not available, Virtual not a virtual position. That's schedule info. So we can have a Schedule section. We have Pay? Not explicitly mentioned besides grade range GS-03 to GS-06. That's not a specific pay amount. The instruction says do NOT create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state grade range but not actual salary. Should we include Pay? Probably not, because no explicit pay amount. The grade range is part of qualifications? Could be included under Qualifications (grade determinations). So we skip Pay. We have About the role? Could be summary. The summary about EDRP could be considered About the role? But we have a separate summary about EDRP. Could treat that as About the role (position summary). The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe basic requirements?), Qualifications (grade determinations, licensure, etc.), Skills (maybe preferred experience?), Benefits (EDRP), Schedule (work schedule). We need to avoid duplication. We must preserve ALL substantive information. Let's extract. Summary (About the role): - This position is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) - a student loan payment reimbursement program. - Must meet specific eligibility requirements per VHA policy and submit EDRP application within four months of appointment. - Program Approval - award amount (up to $200,000) & eligibility period (one to five years) are determined by VHA Education Loan Repayment Services program office after review of EDRP application. - Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply. That's about EDRP. Could also mention that it's a Licensed Practical Nurse position? Not explicitly but implied. The posting is for LPN/LVN. We could include that as part of About the role: It's a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN/LVN) position. However not explicitly stated in summary but appears in qualifications. Might be okay to include in About the role: The position is for a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN/LVN). But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can include that info under Qualifications or Requirements. It's okay to not repeat. Responsibilities (Duties): List of duties: - Prepares - administers - records - and communicates results of medications - vital signs - treatments - etc - Appropriately reports and records gross and subtle changes in patient's status - Under indirect supervision of the RN - functions as the primary nurse and gives the change of shift report to the oncoming shift - Recognizes and initiates appropriate response in emergent situations such as fire - disaster - bomb and/or hostage threats - cardiac and/or pulmonary arrests - and behavioral emergencies - Carries out emergency measures and initiating procedures for obtaining medical/other types of assistance - Initiates CPR and inserts an oral airway as needed - Completes pain evaluations - and on the basis of pre-formulated guidelines - either provides education - or refers for further evaluation - Adheres to asepsis and universal precautions requirements to provide a safe environment for patients - families - and employees - Sets up and cares for patients in isolation per infection control standards - Preferred Experience: One year experience as an LPN PACT or Outpatient primary care clinic experience preferred (this appears also under Qualifications; but it's a duty? It's listed under Duties as "Preferred Experience:" maybe it's a qualification. We'll keep it under Qualifications or Skills.) Requirements: Could be basic requirements: Citizenship, English proficiency, education, licensure. Also grade determinations? Might be better to put grade determinations under Qualifications. Let's separate: Requirements = basic eligibility (citizenship, English proficiency, education, licensure). Qualifications = grade determinations, experience, knowledge, skills, preferred experience. Skills: Could be knowledge and abilities listed under grade determinations (e.g., knowledge to administer meds, recognize emergencies, etc.). But we might combine with Qualifications. However we need to follow instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule. That's six sections. Skills maybe not needed if covered in Qualifications. Let's extract Requirements (basic): - United States Citizenship: Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA Policy - English Language Proficiency: In accordance with 38 U.S.C. 7402(d) - no person shall serve in direct patient care positions unless they are proficient in basic written and spoken English - Education: Graduate of a school of practical or vocational nursing approved by the appropriate State agency and/or accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) at the time the program was completed by the applicant Exceptions include health care education in the military service or training in the military service which is accepted by the licensing body in the jurisdiction in which the individual is licensed as qualifying for full LPN/LVN licensure will be accepted as meeting the education requirements for VHA employment OR granted a license by a jurisdiction that does not require graduation from an approved school AND have at least one year of successful practice as an LPN/LVN - Licensure: Active - full - current and unrestricted licensure as a Graduate Licensed Practical or Vocational Nurse in a State - Territory - or Commonwealth (i.e. - Puerto Rico) - of the United States or the District of Columbia May qualify based on being covered by the Grandfathering Provision as described in the VA Qualification Standard for this occupation (only applicable to current VHA employees who are in this occupation and meet the criteria) That's requirements. Qualifications (grade determinations, experience, knowledge, skills): We have grade determinations for GS-3, GS-4, GS-5, GS-6 with details. Also preferred experience: One year experience as an LPN PACT or Outpatient primary care clinic experience preferred. Also physical requirements (maybe under Requirements? but could be under Qualifications). Physical requirements: visual acuity, keen hearing, clear distinctive speech, manual dexterity, long periods of walking, standing, stooping, sitting, bending, pulling, pushing, transferring patients, exposure to infected patients, protective clothing, exposure to combative patients, mature flexible sensible individual, able to shift priorities, must complete annual Employee Health requirements (TB screening). That's substantive. We could include physical requirements under Qualifications or a separate section like Requirements? But we already have Requirements for citizenship etc. Physical requirements could be under Qualifications as well. We also have "Full performance level of this vacancy is GS-06. The actual grade at which an applicant may be selected for this vacancy is in the range of GS-03 to GS-06". That's qualification. Thus Qualifications section will include grade determinations, preferred experience, physical requirements, maybe knowledge/skills. Benefits: EDRP details. Schedule: Work schedule 0800-1630, Telework not available, Virtual not a virtual position. We must not include boilerplate like "Learn more", contact email? That's maybe part of Benefits? Could be included as contact for EDRP coordinator. Might be considered part of Benefits (contact for questions). But instruction: remove application instructions. Contact email for EDRP coordinator is not exactly application instruction but could be considered contact for questions. Might keep as part of Benefits. Also "Learn more Permanent Change of Station (PCS): Not Authorized" is boilerplate; we can drop. Now produce HTML. We need to use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must not repeat job title. Not include HTML wrapper. Let's craft. Section About the role: maybe a

  summarizing the position and EDRP eligibility. But we already have EDRP details in Benefits. However About the role could just describe the role: Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN/LVN) position providing patient care under RN supervision, performing medication administration, vital signs, emergency response, etc. But we have duties separately. Could keep About the role short: "This position is for a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN/LVN) providing direct patient care under the supervision of a Registered Nurse." But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can include that info elsewhere. It's okay to have a brief About the role. But we must not invent info. The posting does not explicitly state "Licensed Practical Nurse" in the summary, but it's implied throughout. However we can state it because it's evident from qualifications. It's not invented; it's derived from the posting. Probably acceptable. Let's draft:

  About the role

  This position is for a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN/LVN) providing direct patient care under the supervision of a Registered Nurse. The role is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP), a student loan repayment incentive.

  But we already have EDRP details in Benefits; we might duplicate. Better to keep About the role generic without EDRP, and Benefits section covers EDRP. However the summary heavily focuses on EDRP; maybe we incorporate that into About the role. But then Benefits would be redundant. We could keep About the role as a brief description of the role (LPN/LVN duties) and Benefits for EDRP. That seems fine. Now Responsibilities: list duties. We need to extract duties list exactly as given, but we can format as
  • . Ensure we keep all details. Duties list: - Prepares - administers - records - and communicates results of medications - vital signs - treatments - etc - Appropriately reports and records gross and subtle changes in patient's status - Under indirect supervision of the RN - functions as the primary nurse and gives the change of shift report to the oncoming shift - Recognizes and initiates appropriate response in emergent situations such as fire - disaster - bomb and/or hostage threats - cardiac and/or pulmonary arrests - and behavioral emergencies - Carries out emergency measures and initiating procedures for obtaining medical/other types of assistance - Initiates CPR and inserts an oral airway as needed - Completes pain evaluations - and on the basis of pre
