Registered Nurse (Home Telehealth Care Coordinator)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities (Duties). Requirements (Qualifications). Benefits (VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package). Pay (VA Nurse Total Rewards Pay: Competitive salary...). Schedule (Work Schedule: 7:00 A.M to 3:30 P.M Monday - Friday). Also maybe Telework note but not needed. Remove boilerplate. Need to preserve all substantive info. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - Summary: includes "This is not a Remote position*" but that's metadata; we can fold into short

  maybe. - Qualifications: long text with basic requirements, grade determinations, preferred experience, physical requirements. We need to preserve all substantive info. Could break into sub-sections? But only allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use Qualifications for the qualification details. Requirements maybe for basic requirements? But we can combine. The instruction: Use headings for those section names. We can decide to put qualification details under

  Qualifications

  . Responsibilities under

  . Benefits under

  . Schedule under

  Schedule

  . Possibly also Skills? Not present. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not needed. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The text includes many boilerplate like "Reference VA Handbook 5005 - Appendix G6", "NOTE: Grandfathering Provision", etc. Those are part of qualifications; we should keep them as they are substantive? They are part of qualification standard. Likely keep. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the long qualification text essentially unchanged, but format as

  or

  • where appropriate. We have lists: The qualification includes bullet-like items separated by line breaks. We can convert each line into
  • . But need to decide if it's a list. The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for qualifications, we can treat each requirement as list items. However the qualification text includes paragraphs and sentences; we could keep as

      but if there are enumerated items we should use list. Better: For Qualifications section, we can keep as

      for prose, but the instruction says use list for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The qualifications contain many requirements; we could break into list items for clarity. But we must preserve all info; converting to list is fine as long as we don't lose info. Similarly for Responsibilities: there is a list of duties after "Duties and responsibilities include - but are not limited to - the following:" then a list separated by line breaks. We'll make

      • . Benefits: "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". This is a list of benefits; we can make
        • each benefit. Pay: "VA Nurse Total Rewards Pay: Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards". Could be under Pay heading. Schedule: "Work Schedule: 7:00 A.Mto 3:30 P.MMonday - Friday". Also Telework note but not needed. We also have "This is not a Remote position*" maybe include as a short

          under Summary? But we are not to create a Summary heading. Could put as a

          before sections. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:
