Patient Care Technician/Nursing Assistant - Psychiatry Full Time Days

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to parse the job posting. Let's extract content: Position Summary: Under the direction and supervision of the Registered Professional Nurse and Licensed Practical Nurse, Patient Care Technician (PCT) / Nursing Assistant (NA) provide direct patient care. Job Duties & Essential Functions: list of duties. Required Experience & Qualifications: Current BLS provider certification from the American Heart Association. PCT certification required within first year of employment. Preferred Experience & Qualifications: High school Diploma or equivalent. Prior experience in a Nursing Assistant role in a hospital, nursing home, or ambulatory setting. Physical Demands: long paragraph describing physical demands. Special Notes: includes salary rates, probationary increases, etc. Also includes note about resume/CV, smoke-free, etc. Also includes "Anticipated Pay Range" with starting salary range $24.793- $29.177 per hour. Also includes "Primary Location US-NY-Greenport Schedule Full-time Posting Start Date Aug 12, 2026 Posting End Date Ongoing Salary $24.793- $29.177 Per Hour". There's duplication. We need to decide sections. We have: - About the role: could be Position Summary. - Responsibilities: Job Duties & Essential Functions. - Requirements: Required Experience & Qualifications (mandatory). - Qualifications: Preferred Experience & Qualifications (maybe combine with Requirements? But we can have separate sections if content exists.) - Skills: maybe not explicit; but we could infer from duties? However we should not invent. If no explicit skills list, we should not create Skills section. - Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly; there is mention of smoke-free, etc but not benefits. So we should not create Benefits unless there is real content. There's mention of "Employee must be in good standing for participation in the PCT Certification program." That's more like requirement. No explicit benefits like health insurance, retirement. So skip Benefits. - Pay: we have salary rates and increases. So we can include Pay section with details: starting rates, probationary increases, etc. - Schedule: we have "Primary Location US-NY-Greenport Schedule Full-time". So schedule: Full-time. Also location maybe not needed but schedule section can contain Full-time. We also have Physical Demands; could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? Could be its own section but not in allowed headings. Allowed headings are only those listed. So we need to fit physical demands into one of those headings. Perhaps under Requirements or Qualifications. Since it's about ability to perform job, could be under Requirements. We'll include it there. We also have Special Notes about certification program, salary increases, etc. Those go under Pay. We also have "Anticipated Pay Range" and salary range. We also have "Primary Location US-NY-Greenport Schedule Full-time". So schedule: Full-time. We also have "Posting Start Date Aug 12, 2026 Posting End Date Ongoing". That's metadata; we can drop or fold into short p. 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 at top maybe with location and schedule? But schedule we already have section. Posting dates maybe minor metadata; we can drop. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep all duty statements, requirements, qualifications, physical demands, pay details, schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove those. Now produce HTML. Structure: maybe start with a

for position summary? Or we could put position summary under About the role heading. Thus:

Schedule

Full‑time.

We also need to include location? Not required but could be in a short p. The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Location maybe minor but could be included. However we already have schedule section. Location could be added as a short p before sections. But we must not create extra headings. So we can add a

at top: "Location: US-NY-Greenport." That's minor metadata. We must not include posting start/end dates; we can drop. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not duplicated. Check for any boilerplate: we removed EEO, smoke-free, etc. The smoke-free line is boilerplate? It's a policy but maybe considered boilerplate; we should remove. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Smoke-free is a policy but could be considered legal/boilerplate. Safer to remove. Also remove "Resume/CV should be included with the online application." That's application instruction; remove. Remove "All Hospital positions may be subject to changes in pass days and shifts as necessary." That's maybe minor but could be considered boilerplate; remove. Remove "This position may require the wearing of respiratory protection, which may prohibit the wearing of facial hair." That's a requirement? Could be considered a requirement but it's about PPE; maybe we should keep as it's substantive about job conditions. However it's not explicitly listed as a requirement; but it's a condition. Might be considered minor metadata; but we could keep under Requirements? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep it if it's substantive. It's about wearing respiratory protection prohibiting facial hair. That's a specific condition. We could include under Requirements as a bullet. Also "This function/position maybe designated as “essential.” This means that when the Hospital is faced with an institutional emergency, employees in such positions may be required to remain at their work location or to report to work to protect, recover, and continue operations at Stony Brook Medicine, Stony Brook Eastern Long Island and related facilities." That's substantive about essential position; we could include under Requirements or a separate note but we have no heading for essential. Could add under Requirements as bullet. Also "Stony Brook Medicine is committed to excellence in diversity..." that's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also "StaffCo is a Professional Employer Organization..." that's company overview; maybe we could keep under About the role? But it's boilerplate about company; might be considered not substantive to the job. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Company overview might be considered boilerplate; but it's substantive about employer. However it's not about the job itself. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; but also says remove boilerplate. Company overview could be considered boilerplate but also provides context. Safer to remove? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." It doesn't explicitly say remove company overview. But earlier: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The company overview is not about the job duties/requirements etc. It might be considered filler. I'd remove it to keep focused. Thus we keep only job-specific info. Now we need to ensure we didn't miss any duty: we captured all from Job Duties & Essential Functions. Let's verify list: - Assists patients with basic needs including bathing, grooming, dressing, eating and using the restroom. - Regularly measures and records vital signs such as temperature, pulse, blood pressure and respiration. - Draws blood, urine, or stool samples for testing. - Obtains blood glucose levels, EKGs. - Performing constant observation and proactive safety rounds, performing activities of daily living assistance; engaging patients in meaningful interaction and activities. - Immediately reports and changes in a patient’s condition to the nursing staff. - Maintaining safe, clean, and therapeutic environments; responding to patient call bells; answering phones; property and environment searches. - Ordering, maintaining, and putting away supplies; other duties as assigned. - Assists patients in moving around, transferring them to and from beds, wheelchairs and other devices. - Acts as a liaison between patients, families and medical staff. - Provides comfort and reassurance to patients
