Registered Nurse - Outpatient Staff (Specialty Care)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a summary with mission statement. Could treat that as "About the role" maybe. Also "Qualifications" section includes basic requirements, grade determinations, preferred experience. "Responsibilities" corresponds to duties. "Benefits" includes VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package with details. "Pay" maybe not explicit; they mention "Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards". That's pay info. "Schedule": Work Schedule: Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m- 4:00 p.m. Telework not authorized etc. So we can include Pay and Schedule sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information. Use

for section headings. Use

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

  for prose. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (mission summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements/Qualifications (qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also "Preferred Experience" could be part of Qualifications. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's extract content. Mission summary: "OUR MISSION: To fulfill President Lincoln's promise "To care for those who have served in our nation's military and for their families - caregivers - and survivors" - by serving and honoring the men and women who are America's Veterans. How would you like to become a part of a team providing compassionate whole health care to Veterans?" That's prose. Qualifications: Basic Requirements: list of items. Could be turned into

  • . Also Grade Determinations: detailed criteria per grade/level. That's a lot of detail; we need to preserve all substantive information. Could present as
    • for each grade level? Might be long but okay. Preferred Experience: "Experience in / ability to float to various outpatient medical specialty clinic settings (i.e Gastrointestinal - Endocrine) preferred." Duties: list of responsibilities. Could be bullet list. 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 Work Schedule: Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m- 4:00 p.m Telework: Not authorized Virtual: This is not a virtual position Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not authorized Permanent Change of Station (PCS): Not authorized Physical Requirements: You will be asked to participate in a pre-employment examination or evaluation as part of the pre-employment process for this position Questions about physical demands or environmental factors may be addressed at the time of evaluation or examination." We need to separate Pay, Benefits, Schedule. The benefits block includes Pay, Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, etc. Also includes Work Schedule etc. We'll split. Pay section: "Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards". Could be a

      or

      • . We'll use

        . Benefits section: Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure. Possibly also Physical Requirements? That might be separate but not requested. Could include as part of Benefits? Probably not. Physical Requirements is separate but not a standard heading; we could omit or include as a note? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Physical Requirements is present; but we don't have a standard heading for it. Could we create a custom heading? The instruction says use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It lists examples but not exclusive. It says use those headings. Probably we should stick to those headings. Physical Requirements not in list; maybe we can omit? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit Physical Requirements, we lose info. However maybe we can incorporate Physical Requirements into Benefits or Schedule? Not appropriate. Could we add a section "Physical Requirements" as

        ? The instruction says use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exhaustive. So we can add other headings if needed. Safer to add Physical Requirements as its own heading. Similarly, maybe "Skills" not present; we can omit. Thus sections: About the role (mission), Responsibilities (duties), Qualifications (basic requirements + grade determinations + preferred experience), Benefits, Pay, Schedule, Physical Requirements. We need to ensure we don't repeat content. Let's craft HTML. We'll start with

        About the role

        then

        mission text.

        Then

        Responsibilities

        then
