PSYCHIATRIC NURSE 2
for location and maybe note about recruitment notice? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The EEO statement is boilerplate; we should remove it. Also remove the "***THIS RECRUITMENT MAY CLOSE..." notice? That's like a notice but maybe considered boilerplate? It's not exactly EEO but it's a notice about closing; might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The recruitment notice might be considered a notice but not explicitly listed; but it's not substantive content about the job; it's a procedural note. Probably we should drop it. Also drop the "Do you have any of the following?" repeated at end (duplicate of qualifications). Also drop the recruiter contact info? It's not boilerplate but maybe we keep as a short p? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Recruiter contact info is minor metadata; we could include in a short p. But also we might drop it as not essential. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; recruiter contact is substantive for applicants. So we should keep it as a short p. We need sections: About the role (Job Summary). Responsibilities (Job Duties). Requirements (Essential Qualifications). Skills (Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities). Benefits (Benefits Include...). Possibly also a section for "Location"? Not required; we can fold into About the role paragraph. We must not create Pay/Schedule sections if not present. No pay info. We must use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the duties list as bullet points; the qualifications as bullet points? The essential qualifications are a sentence with options; we could keep as prose or list. Since it's not a list, we can keep as
. However the instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The qualifications are not a list but could be considered requirements; but we can keep as prose.
The Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities section includes a list of knowledge and abilities; we could break into two
maybe one for knowledge, one for abilities. But we need to preserve all detail; we could keep as prose but better to split into two lists: Knowledge and Ability. However the instruction says use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is a list of knowledge, skills, abilities; could be considered a list. We'll make two lists: one for Knowledge (working knowledge of ...) and one for Ability (Ability to: ...). We'll keep the introductory sentence as
.
Benefits: The benefits include a list; we should make
- for each benefit item.
We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, holiday schedule details? The holiday schedule is part of Benefits? Actually it's separate section "State Holidays". That is substantive? It's about holiday schedule; could be considered part of Benefits? The instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. The holiday schedule is specific content; we could include under Benefits or maybe a separate section "Holidays". But we already have Benefits section; we could incorporate holiday info there. However the Benefits section already lists health insurance, vacation, sick leave, holidays, retirement, deferred comp, no state income tax, public service loan forgiveness, longevity payments. The holiday schedule details are extra detail about holidays; we could include as a sub-list under Benefits or as a separate section "Holidays". Since we already have Benefits, we could add a nested list? Simpler: keep Benefits as is, and maybe add a separate
Holidays
with of holidays. But the instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe incorporate holiday details into Benefits as a bullet: "Holidays: 12 paid holidays per year (list)". But we already have that bullet; we could expand the bullet to include the list. That would preserve detail. Let's do that: change the Benefits bullet "Holidays: 12 paid holidays per year." to "Holidays: 12 paid holidays per year (New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Nevada Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, Family Day, Christmas Day; observed day adjustments as per policy)." That preserves detail.
We also need to include the note about when holidays fall on weekend etc. Could include that.
Now we need to remove duplicated lines: The "Do you have any of the following?" duplicate of qualifications; we will drop that.
Also remove the "Recruiter Contact Information: Susan Ashley – q.ashley@admin.nv.gov" maybe keep as a short p.
Also remove the EEO paragraph and the "Please send direct Inquiries or correspondence to the recruiter listed on this announcement." (that's part of EEO). Also remove the "State Holidays" heading and its list if we incorporated into Benefits.
Also remove the "Eligibility for holiday pay is covered by the provisions of NAC 284.255 01" maybe minor; we could drop as it's legal reference; but it's substantive? Might be considered boilerplate legal; but it's about holiday pay eligibility; we could keep as part of Benefits? Might be too detailed. Safer to drop as it's legal reference.
Now construct HTML.
We'll start with a for location and maybe job summary? Actually About the role section will contain the Job Summary prose.
