We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a Summary, Qualifications, Physical Requirements, Duties, VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package (which includes Pay, Benefits, Schedule). We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. We need to map content.
We have Summary: description of role. Could be "About the role". Use

maybe? Or separate "Physical Requirements". The allowed headings list includes Requirements. So we can put Physical Requirements under Requirements. Duties: Responsibilities. Benefits, Pay, Schedule: from VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package: includes Pay (Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards), Paid Time Off (50 days...), Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, Work Schedule, Telework, Relocation/Recruitment Incentives, PCS. We need to separate into Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. It does state Pay, Benefits (PTO, retirement, insurance), Schedule (Work Schedule). So we create those sections. Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we can omit Skills section because no specific skills listed. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we omit Skills. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting. That's a lot. We need to embed them in lists/paragraphs. We must not add placeholders like "commensurate with experience". Avoid those. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:About the role

- Basic Requirements: ... ... etc. But we need to break down Basic Requirements into multiple li items? Could be one li with long text. Better to split into logical pieces. We must preserve all substantive information; we can break into multiple li for readability but must not lose info. Let's extract Basic Requirements bullet points: - English Language Proficiency: per 38 U.S.C. 7403(f) - must be proficient in basic written and spoken English. - Graduate of a school of professional nursing approved by appropriate accrediting agency and accredited by ACEN or CCNE or CCNE at time program completed. - OR Individuals attending a master's level bridge program in nursing who have completed coursework equivalent to a bachelor's level degree in Nursing may have opportunity to become registered as a nurse with a state licensing board prior to completion of the bridge program. - Upon achievement of a State license - the individual may be appointed on temporary basis and later converted to a permanent appointment upon successful completion and graduation from the bridge program (Reference VA Handbook 5005 - Appendix G6). - OR In cases of graduates of foreign schools of professional nursing - possession of a current - full - active - and unrestricted registration will meet the requirement for graduation from an approved school of professional nursing to warrant an appointment as a Nurse who has completed an associated degree/entry level Nursing education program. - Credit for foreign nursing education higher that associate degree/entry level requires a formal degree equivalency validation from a recognized equivalency evaluation accepted by VA such as International Consultants of Delaware (ICD). - Current - full - active - and unrestricted registration as a graduate professional nurse in a State - Territory or Commonwealth (i.e. - Puerto Rico) of the United States - or the District of Columbia. - Graduate Nurse Technician (GNT) Exception: Candidates who otherwise meet the basic education requirements - but do not possess the required licensure - may be appointed at the entry step of the grade and level applicable to the completed nursing education as a GNT on a 120-day temporary appointment while actively pursuing licensure (may be extended up to two years on a case-by-case-basis.) - NOTE: Grandfathering Provision - All persons currently employed in VHA in 0610 series and performing the duties as described in the qualification standard on the effective date of the standard (1/29/2024) are considered to have met all qualification requirements for the grade held including positive education and licensure/certification.
