Registered Nurse-Home Based Primary Care Outpatient Staff
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.
We need to decide which headings to use. Likely: About the role (summary), Qualifications (basic requirements, grade determinations, preferred experience, physical requirements), Responsibilities (duties), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Could also include Requirements as separate but we have Qualifications.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We need to preserve all substantive info; we can break into lists where appropriate.
Let's craft:
About the role
Fort Knox VA Clinic - Louisville - Kentucky is currently recruiting for a Registered Nurse-Home Based Primary Care Outpatient Staff Fort Knox - Kentucky 603.
Qualifications
We have multiple subparts: Basic Requirements, Grade Determinations, Preferred Experience, Physical Requirements. Could be separate headings? The instruction says use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we likely keep Qualifications as one section, and inside we can have paragraphs and lists.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for lists we should use
. For prose, .
We need to decide what constitutes a list. Basic Requirements includes many items: English Language Proficiency, graduation, licensure, GNT exception, grandfathering provision. Could be a list.
Grade Determinations includes many bullet-like items for each nurse level. Could be a list.
Preferred Experience: maybe a list.
Physical Requirements: list.
We'll create
for each of those.
But we need to keep within Qualifications section? Could have nested headings? Not allowed? Only headings allowed are those listed; we could still use for sub-sections? Not specified but likely we should stick to those headings only. However we could still use
and
inside Qualifications.
Thus:
Qualifications
- English Language Proficiency: In 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 English.
- Education: Graduate of a school of professional nursing approved by the appropriate accrediting agency and accredited by one of the following: The Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) or The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) at the time the program was 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 than 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).
- Licensure: 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.
Then Grade Determinations: maybe another inside Qualifications? Could be separate heading? Not allowed. We'll just continue with another maybe with a preceding heading? But we cannot add extra headings. Could use
Grade Determinations:
then list.
But instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have multiple lists.
Thus after the first list, we can add a
for "Grade Determinations:" then a
with items.
Similarly Preferred Experience and Physical Requirements.
Let's do that.
After Qualifications section, we need Responsibilities (duties). Use Responsibilities
then a for duties list.
Then Benefits: Benefits
then maybe a for each benefit item.
Pay: Pay
then with details.
Schedule:
Schedule
then .
We must not include sections with filler like "not specified". All have content.
Let's extract details precisely.
From text:
"VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package: VA Nurse Total Rewards Pay: Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards Paid Time Off: 50 days of paid time off per year (26 days of annual leave - 13 days of sick leave - 11 paid Federal holidays per year) Retirement: Traditional federal pension (5 years vesting) and federal 401K with up to 5% in contributions by VA Insurance: Federal health/vision/dental/term life/long-term care (many federal insurance programs can be carried into retirement) Licensure: 1 full and unrestricted license from any US State or territory Work Schedule: Monday-Friday - 8:00am-4:30pm Telework: Ad-hoc Virtual: This is not a virtual position Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not authorized Permanent Change of Station (PCS): Not authorized Pay Schedule: NS95"
Thus Benefits could include: Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure? Actually Licensure is a requirement not benefit. But they listed Licensure under total rewards? It says Licensure: 1 full and unrestricted license from any US State or territory. That seems like a requirement but appears in total rewards package. We'll keep as benefit maybe.
Pay: "Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards"
Schedule: "Monday-Friday - 8:00am-4:30pm"
Also Telework: Ad-hoc Virtual: This is not a virtual position.
Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not authorized
Permanent Change of Station (PCS): Not authorized
Pay Schedule: NS95
We could include these under Benefits or separate sections. Since we have Pay and Schedule sections, we can put Pay details there, Schedule details there, and other benefits under Benefits.
Thus Benefits section will include: Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure? maybe not, but we can include as part of total rewards. Also Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not authorized, PCS: Not authorized, Telework: Ad-hoc Virtual: This is not a virtual position.
Pay Schedule: NS95 maybe goes under Pay.
Let's decide:
Pay section: "Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards" plus maybe Pay Schedule NS95.
Schedule section: "Monday-Friday - 8:00am-4:30pm" plus Telework info.
Benefits section: Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not authorized, Permanent Change of Station (PCS): Not authorized.
Licensure maybe not benefit but we can keep as requirement; but it's in total rewards package. I'd include it under Benefits as "Licensure: 1 full and unrestricted license from any US State or territory". However that seems odd as benefit. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can include it under Benefits.
Now duties list: Let's extract duties from "Duties The Home-Based Primary Care (HBPC) Outpatient Staff Registered Nurse (RN) executes position responsibilities that demonstrate leadership - experience - and creative approaches to management of complex HBPC careThis nurse provides direct Veteran care via home visits and care coordination - as it pertains - to Veterans - their care within the HBPC Program and is responsible for case management - assessment - triage - Veteran education - resource coordination - medication and treatment coordination - and care planningThis nurse: Plans and delivers technically competent care in the home of Veterans with complex needs - including health promotion - health prevention - geriatric care - primary care - and palliative care Utilizes interventions - which maximize health capabilities and reduces unnecessary urgent care and emergency room visits - per Veteran's goals of care Makes home visits to Veterans in the program Collaborates in the development - implementation - evaluation - and revision of policies - procedures - and/or guidelines Demonstrates performance and leadership that is broad enough to improve the care for the HBPC Program and facility Provides peers with formal or informal constructive feedback for improvement Supports colleagues and other nurses through HBPC knowledge sharing to provide safe - quality nursing care Fosters a safe and supportive environment conducive to the professional development of health care professionals Evaluates outpatient outcomes of evidence-based decisions and practice changes for
