Licensed Vocational Nurse (Outpatient Primary Care)
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have Summary -> About the role.
Qualifications -> Qualifications (maybe also Requirements). The posting includes "Qualifications" heading with subparts: Basic Requirements, Grade Determinations, Preferred Experience. So we can put that under Qualifications.
Duties -> Responsibilities (or maybe "Responsibilities").
Schedule -> Schedule.
Pay -> Pay.
We might also include Skills? The posting includes Preferred Experience with skills like BLS certification, etc. Could be under Skills or Qualifications. But we already have Qualifications covering experience. Could add a Skills section for things like BLS certification, technical skills, customer service. However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine skills into Qualifications or Responsibilities.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Qualifications we have lists: Basic Requirements (citizenship, education, licensure), Grade Determinations (GS-3, GS-4, GS-5, GS-6), Preferred Experience (list). We'll need to output as
- items.
For Responsibilities we have a long paragraph with many duties; we can break into bullet list.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting. That's a lot. We need to include the text exactly? Not necessarily exact wording but preserve meaning. We can copy sentences.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting doesn't seem to have those except maybe at end "Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus): Not Authorized Permanent Change of Station (Relocation Assistance): Not Authorized". That's not boilerplate but it's about incentives; we could include maybe under Pay? But it's not pay. It's about incentives. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. This is specific content: "Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus): Not Authorized Permanent Change of Station (Relocation Assistance): Not Authorized". That's about incentives. There's no section heading for Incentives in allowed list. Could we put under Pay? Not appropriate. Could we omit? It's substantive info but not covered by allowed headings. The instruction says use headings from list; we could maybe put under Pay? But it's not pay. Could we create a custom heading? Not allowed; only those headings. So we might need to drop it because no appropriate heading. However the instruction says "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." This is not metadata but incentives. Might be considered minor metadata? Could fold into a short
maybe under Pay or Schedule? But better to drop? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we can include a short paragraph under Pay or Schedule? Not ideal.
Maybe we can include a section "Benefits" but we don't have benefits. Incentives could be considered part of Benefits? Not exactly. But we could treat as Benefits? The instruction says never create Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does not state benefits. So we shouldn't.
Thus we may drop the incentives line.
Also "Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional Functions or Scopes of Practice:" seems like a heading but we can treat as part of Responsibilities.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only.
Let's extract content.

We need to keep all that.
Now Responsibilities/Duties: The posting includes a long paragraph under "Duties Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional Functions or Scopes of Practice:" then many bullet-like sentences separated by line breaks. We need to extract each duty as a list item.
Let's parse the duties section:
"Duties Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional Functions or Scopes of Practice: Technically proficient in initiating - performing - and completing assigned duties in providing care to variable patient populationsAppropriately carries out assigned patient care based on the patents' conditionsuses judgment in selecting the appropriate order and sequence of procedures and treatments and accurately recognizes - reports and records relevant patient informationCompleted work should need only a general review by an RN or provider for appropriateness and conformity with established policies/proceduresObserves - identifies and responds to the patient's needs for care - including medication - equipment-assisted care and patient/family educationIn organizing and delivering care the LPN/LVN recognizes and considers emotional - socioeconomic - and age-related factorsPrepares and administers prescribed medications (oral - topical - subcutaneous - intramuscular and/or intravenous) and performs treatments according to established policies/proceduresObserves patient for physical and/or emotional changes in patient's condition from prescribed medications/treatments - promptly and accurately documenting noted changes - and reporting any deviations from normal to RN or providerRecognizes urgent or emergent patient care situations - seeks assistance from the RN and/or provider - and initiates appropriate emergency interventions as directedAppropriately utilizes knowledge and understanding of human behavior - patient motivations and reactions to situations in working effectively with patients - family members - and other staffEstablishes constructive relationships with individual patients and their families to elicit feelings and attitudes to promote positive relationships - communication and socialization skillsFosters an environment of respect for individual patient and family rights to privacy and dignity in all aspects of care deliveryEffectively incorporates knowledge and understanding of established customer service standards in all interactions with patients - family members - and - or other internal/external customersPerforms support duties for complex diagnostic tests and/or specialized practices or procedures - which include preparing the patient - assisting in the diagnostic examination - preparing and handling specialized instruments or other specialized equipment - and monitoring the patient's condition before - during - and following the procedureServes as a preceptor in orienting - educating - and training less experienced LPNs/LVNs or NAs/HTs related to support duties for more complex - specialized tests/proceduresActively seeks out educational opportunities to enhance nursing knowledge and skills - sharing new knowledge gained with other staff to improve and advance nursing practiceThis clinical position includes a level of physicality normally associated with direct patient care duties performed by nurses such as long periods of continued walking - standing - sitting - moderate lifting - repeated bending - or kneelingExamples may include - but are not limited to: significant amounts of time standing - assisting assigned patients utilization of safe patient handling and mobility protocols Position-specific duties/expectations are detailed in the associated competency and should be performed once the competency has been validatedThis position may require flexibility in scheduling and assignments"
We need to split into sensible bullet points. Each sentence seems to start with a capital letter after a period? Actually the text is concatenated
- items.
