Registered Nurse - Clinical Nurse Educator
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Clinical Nurse Educator.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The text didn't have those except maybe some generic statements like "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package:" which is fine.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from qualifications, duties, benefits, pay, schedule.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the specifics.
We need to decide how to split qualifications into Requirements and Qualifications sections. The posting has "Qualifications Basic Requirements:" then a long list of basic requirements (English proficiency, graduation, licensure, etc.) Then "Grade Determinations:" with scope/education/dimension criteria for each grade/level. That seems like qualifications. Could treat "Basic Requirements" as Requirements section, and "Grade Determinations" as Qualifications section. Or combine. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications.
Thus:
- About the role: summary paragraph.
- Responsibilities: duties list (bulleted). The duties list includes many items preceded by "Duties include - but are not limited to:" then bullet points with hyphens. We'll convert each bullet to
- .
- Requirements: basic requirements (English language proficiency, graduation, licensure, etc.) We need to preserve all details. That's a long paragraph with many sentences. Could break into
but also maybe list? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So if we treat basic requirements as a list, we can make
- each requirement. However the text is not clearly separated items; it's a dense paragraph with many clauses. We could still split into logical items: English Language Proficiency, Graduate of approved school, etc. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep as
if not a list. The instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If we decide it's not a list, we can use
. Safer to use
for prose.
- Qualifications: grade determinations details (scope, education, dimension criteria). That's also a dense paragraph with many grade levels. Could be a list but we can keep as
.
- Skills: no explicit skills section; we could omit.
- Benefits: list of benefits: Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure. Could be
- .
- Pay: Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards. Could be
.
- Schedule: Work schedule Monday-Friday 7:30am-4:00pm, Telework ADHOC authorized, Virtual not a virtual position. Could be

We must not create sections with filler. All have content.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We need to ensure we don't include any markdown code fences. Just raw HTML.
Let's craft.

Third, Requirements (basic requirements):
We need to capture all basic requirements text. Let's extract:
"Basic Requirements: English Language ProficiencyIn accordance with 38 U.S.C. 7403(f) - no person shall serve in direct patient care positions unless they are proficient in basic written and spoken EnglishGraduate of a school of professional nursing approved by the appropriate accrediting agency and accredited by one of the following accrediting bodies at the time the program was completed by the applicant: The Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) or The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE)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 programUpon 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 programCredit 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 ColumbiaGraduate 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.)

We need to preserve that exactly? Probably we can keep as a paragraph but ensure no loss. We'll put in .
