Registered Nurse (Care Coordinator)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes summary, qualifications, duties, benefits (VA offers...), schedule (Work Schedule, Telework). Also maybe Pay? Not explicit salary numbers, just "Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards". That's pay info. Should we include Pay section? The rule: include a section ONLY when 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. Here we have "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package: VA Nurse Total Rewards Pay: Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards". That's specific enough? It says competitive salary etc. Not a number but still content. Likely we can include Pay section with that sentence. Benefits: they list Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure. That's benefits. Schedule: Work Schedule Monday to Friday 7:30am to 4:00pm, Telework info. So include Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. We have summary (maybe About the role). Qualifications (basic requirements, grade determinations, preferred experience). Duties (Responsibilities). Benefits (VA offers...). Pay (Competitive salary...). Schedule (Work Schedule...). Skills? Not explicit separate list; maybe we can omit Skills if no specific content. Requirements? Could be same as Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for those categories if content exists. We have Qualifications detailed. Could also have Requirements (maybe same as Qualifications). But we should not duplicate. Probably include Qualifications and Responsibilities. Also maybe About the role (summary). Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove navigation etc. The posting includes some URLs (youtube embed) in duties section; we should keep them? They are part of duties? The duties block includes two YouTube embed URLs lines. Probably they are just noise; but they are part of the posting. Should we keep them? They are not substantive; maybe they are just placeholders. The instruction: Remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. YouTube embed lines are not boilerplate but maybe not substantive. However they appear in the duties section as part of the text. Might be considered irrelevant; but we should preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. The YouTube URLs are not substantive to job; but they are in the posting. I'd keep them as part of duties? Might be considered noise. Safer to keep them as they appear; but they are not list items. They are just URLs on separate lines. We could include them as part of duties paragraph. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown. Let's craft:
