PRN Licensed Practical Nurse, Emergency Psychiatric Services (Nashville, TN)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. 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. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to include schedule because posting says "Schedule: PRN 12-hour shifts (night/weekend availability required)". So we can have a Schedule section.
Pay: not mentioned, so omit.
Benefits: not mentioned explicitly; there is mention of "Ranked one of Tennessee’s top places to work" but not specific benefits. So omit Benefits.
Qualifications: maybe "Skills & Experience" and "Requirements". Could combine.
We need sections: About the role (or About MHC), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Skills & Experience), Schedule.
We must not duplicate content. Let's extract substantive info.
First paragraph: "Ranked one of Tennessee’s top places to work, MHC is a rare and special place where outstanding company culture is intentional. Where clients and associates are treated the same, as equals. Mental Health Cooperative, Inc. (MHC) was formed in 1993 to serve individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. Since then, we have expanded our services to children and adolescents with severe emotional disorders across Middle and East Tennessee. Our sole purpose is to support and treat those challenged with serious mental illness and poverty. Although based out of Nashville, we serve several communities across middle and East Tennessee with satellite offices in Antioch, Gallatin, Dickson, Columbia, Cleveland, Murfreesboro, Clarksville, Cookeville, Chattanooga, and Memphis. If you are interested in joining a team that is caring, collaborative, innovative and energizing this might be a great place for you!"
That's about the organization; could be "About the role" or "About MHC". We'll use "About the role".
Then job summary: "The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) supports the licensed physician or Advanced Practice Nurse, as well as the overall treatment team, in providing psychiatric care to Consumers in Emergency Psychiatric Services. The LPN works in close collaboration with the team to evaluate the patient's plan of care and progress toward goals."
That could be part of About the role or separate "Job Summary". But we can incorporate into About the role.
Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Responsibilities" section. Need to capture each bullet.
Let's list them:
- Perform medication management for consumers in EPS setting.
- Interpret and process Provider’s medication orders for the consumer.
- Provide medication teaching/education for consumers.
- Provide on-going assessment of consumers while in EPS.
- Provide referrals to hospitalization, diversion services, or other recommended disposition.

- Proficient in using the electronic health record.

That's many; we can keep as list.
Skills & Experience: list bullet points from "Skills & Experience" and "About You" sections.
Let's extract:
Skills & Experience:
- Valid Tennessee LPN License
- Valid Tennessee Driver’s License
- Acceptable Motor Vehicle Report (MVR)
- Acceptable Criminal Background Investigation
About You (list):
- Customer Service/Engagement
- Ability to work with other departments
- Timely engagement
- Good listener
- Understanding and empathetic
- Respectful of internal and external customers
- Clinical Skills
- Hand hygiene.
- Critical thinking
- CLIA - Waived testing
- Vital signs
- Nursing assessment
- Provides medication administration and education.
- Suicide Screening
- Communication
- Effective verbal and written communication skills
- Communicates relevant Consumers updates to team in a timely manner
- Ability to communicate with different levels of Consumers and coworkers
- Professionalism
- Leadership skills
- Language (maybe "Language"? Actually "Language" heading then "Remains calm in crisis situations"? Wait need to parse.)
Let's re-evaluate the "About You" block:
From text:
"About YouCustomer Service/Engagement Ability to work with other departmentsTimely engagementGood listenerUnderstanding and empatheticRespectful of internal and external customersClinical SkillsHand hygiene.Critical thinkingCLIA - Waived testingVital signsNursing assessmentProvides medication administration and education.Suicide ScreeningCommunication Effective verbal and written communication skillsCommunicates relevant Consumers updates to team in a timely mannerAbility to communicate with different levels of Consumers and coworkersProfessionalismLeadership skillsLanguageRemains calm in crisis situationsProactive in efforts to meet agency goalsHealth promotion and education in addiction and treatmentRole model in health promotion and education in addiction and treatmentTime Management/Organization Flexibility to adapt to different clinical settings when neededRemain flexible and positive to changing needsMeet deadlinesFlexiblePrioritize wellProgress notes entered in timely mannerPrepared for meetingsSafetyTherapeutic options de-escalation techniquesUniversal PrecautionsInjection administrationNarcan administration and educationHazardous medication disposalSharps disposal"
It seems the formatting lost spaces. We need to parse into logical items.
Let's break by capital letters maybe.
"About You"
Then list:
- Customer Service/Engagement
- Ability to work with other departments
- Timely engagement
- Good listener
- Understanding and empathetic
- Respectful of internal and external customers
- Clinical Skills
- Hand hygiene.
- Critical thinking
- CLIA - Waived testing
- Vital signs
- Nursing assessment
- Provides medication administration and education.
- Suicide Screening
- Communication
- Effective verbal and written communication skills
- Communicates relevant Consumers updates to team in a timely manner
- Ability to communicate with different levels of Consumers and coworkers
- Professionalism
- Leadership skills
- Language (maybe "Language" is a heading? Actually after Professionalism there is "LanguageRemains calm in crisis situations". Might be "Language" as a skill? Then "Remains calm in crisis situations". Could be "Language" meaning communication? But we already have Communication. Might be a mistake. We'll treat as separate skill: "Language" (maybe proficiency). Then "Remains calm in crisis situations".
- Proactive in efforts to meet agency goals
- Health promotion and education in addiction and treatment
- Role model in health promotion and education in addiction and treatment
- Time Management/Organization
- Flexibility to adapt to different clinical settings when needed
- Remain flexible and positive to changing needs
- Meet deadlines
- Flexible (maybe duplicate)
- Prioritize well
- Progress notes entered in timely manner
- Prepared for meetings
- Safety
- Therapeutic options de-escalation techniques
- Universal Precautions
- Injection administration
- Narcan administration and education
- Hazardous medication disposal
- Sharps disposal
We need to keep all substantive info; but we can compress into reasonable bullet list without losing meaning. However instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That suggests we should not omit any detail. But we can group similar items under subheadings? The instruction only allows headings for sections; we could use
- for any list. Within li we can have multiple sentences. So we can combine related items into one li if they are closely related, but we must not lose detail. Combining may be okay as long as we don't drop any specifics. For example, "Hand hygiene." is a single item; we could combine with "Critical thinking" etc. But that would be summarizing? Not exactly; we are just listing multiple items in one li separated by commas or semicolons. That still preserves all details. The instruction didn't forbid combining; just said not to invent or summarize away detail. Combining is not summarizing away; it's just grouping. However risk of losing nuance? Probably acceptable.
But we need to be careful not to miss any.
Let's extract all distinct items from the "About You" block precisely.
I'll rewrite the block with proper spacing:
"About You
Customer Service/Engagement
Ability to work with other departments
Timely engagement
Good listener
Understanding and empathetic
Respectful of internal and external customers
Clinical Skills
Hand hygiene.
Critical thinking
CLIA - Waived testing
Vital signs
Nursing assessment
Provides medication administration and education.
Suicide Screening
Communication
Effective verbal and written communication skills
Communicates relevant Consumers updates to team in a timely manner
Ability to communicate with different levels of Consumers and coworkers
Professionalism
Leadership skills
Language
Remains calm in crisis situations
Proactive in efforts to meet agency goals
Health promotion and education in addiction and treatment

Meet deadlines
Flexible
Prioritize well
Progress notes entered in timely manner
Prepared for meetings
Safety
Therapeutic options de-escalation techniques
Universal Precautions
Injection administration
Narcan administration and education
Hazardous medication disposal
Sharps disposal"
Now we have many items. Some are headings (Clinical Skills, Communication, Professionalism, Time Management/Organization, Safety). We could keep them as part of li text, e.g., "Clinical Skills: Hand hygiene; Critical thinking; CLIA - Waived testing; Vital signs; Nursing assessment; Provides medication administration and education; Suicide Screening." That preserves all.
Similarly for Communication, Professionalism, etc.
Now Skills & Experience (requirements) list:
- Valid Tennessee LPN License
- Valid Tennessee Driver’s License
- Acceptable Motor Vehicle Report (MVR)
- Acceptable Criminal Background Investigation
Now schedule: "PRN 12-hour shifts (night/weekend availability required)". We'll put in Schedule section.
Now we need to avoid duplication: The job summary appears also in responsibilities? We'll keep job summary in About the role paragraph.
Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO statements, etc. At end there
for prose. 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. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
