Registered Nurse - Patient Aligned Care Team
for section headings like "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". But only include sections that have real content.
Let me map:
- The EDRP summary could go under "Benefits" or maybe a separate "Education Debt Reduction Program" but the rules say use standard headings. "Benefits" is appropriate.
- Qualifications section: This has Basic Requirements, Grade Determinations, Preferred Experience. Could be "Qualifications" heading.
- Duties: "Responsibilities" heading.
- The total rewards package: This includes Pay, Paid Time Off (Schedule/Benefits), Retirement (Benefits), Insurance (Benefits), Licensure (Requirements), Work Schedule (Schedule), Compressed/Flexible (Schedule), Telework (Schedule), Virtual (Schedule), Relocation/Recruitment Incentives (Benefits), EDRP Authorized (Benefits), Contact info (maybe not needed), PCS (Benefits).
I should not repeat job title. No Job ID.
I need to preserve all substantive information. Use - for lists,
for prose.
Let me structure:
1. About the role? The posting doesn't have a clear "About the role" narrative. It starts with EDRP summary. Maybe I can put the EDRP summary under "Benefits" or "About the role". But the rules say "About the role" is a heading example. However, the posting doesn't have a general description. I could create a "Benefits" section for EDRP and the total rewards.
Better to have:
- Qualifications (with subsections? But we only use h3 for main sections. Could use h3 for "Qualifications" and then use paragraphs and lists inside.)
- Responsibilities (for Duties)
- Benefits (for total rewards package including EDRP, pay, time off, retirement, insurance, etc.)
- Schedule (for work schedule, compressed/flexible, telework, virtual)
But the rules say: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So I can use "Qualifications", "Responsibilities", "Benefits", "Schedule", "Pay". However, Pay is part of Benefits. The total rewards includes Pay. Could separate Pay and Benefits, but the posting groups them. I'll combine under "Benefits" and maybe "Pay" if distinct. But the rules say "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting states "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package: VA Nurse Total Rewards Pay: Competitive salary..." So Pay is stated. Also Schedule is stated. Benefits are stated.
I'll create:
- Qualifications
- Responsibilities
- Pay
- Benefits
- Schedule
But note: The EDRP summary at top is also a benefit. I'll include it in Benefits.
Also, the Qualifications section has a lot of detail: Basic Requirements, Grade Determinations, Preferred Experience, Reference. I'll include all as lists/paragraphs.
The Duties are a list.
The total rewards package: I'll break into Pay, Benefits (time off, retirement, insurance, licensure, relocation, EDRP, PCS), Schedule (work schedule, compressed/flexible, telework, virtual).
Licensure is a requirement, but it's listed under total rewards. Actually it says "Licensure: 1 full and unrestricted license from any US State or territory". That's a requirement, but it's in the rewards section. I'll keep it in Benefits or maybe in Qualifications. Since it's under total rewards, I'll keep in Benefits.
Now, I must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The posting says "Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards" - that's substantive.
Also, "50 days of paid time off per year (26 days of annual leave - 13 days of sick leave - 11 paid Federal holidays per year)" - substantive.
Retirement: "Traditional federal pension (5 years vesting) and federal 401K with up to 5% in contributions by VA" - substantive.
Insurance: "Federal health/vision/dental/term life/long-term care (many federal insurance programs can be carried into retirement)" - substantive.
Work Schedule: "Monday - Friday - 8 hour shifts" - substantive.
Compressed/Flexible: "Authorized at discretion of supervisor" - substantive.
Telework: "Not Authorized" - substantive.
Virtual: "This is not a virtual position" - substantive.
Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: "Not Authorized" - substantive.
EDRP Authorized: "Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply for incentive" - substantive.
Contact info: "Contact VHAEDRPProgramSupport@VA.gov - the EDRP Coordinator for questions/assistance" - maybe include as a paragraph.
PCS: "Not Authorized" - substantive.
Now, I need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body, no markdown.
Let me write the HTML.
I'll start with Qualifications
then content.
But the posting has "Qualifications" as a heading already. I'll use that.
Then Responsibilities
for Duties.
Then Pay
for the pay part.
Then Benefits
for the rest of total rewards except schedule.
Then Schedule
for work schedule, compressed/flexible, telework, virtual.
But the EDRP summary at the very top is separate. I'll include it in Benefits.
Also, the "Reference" link in qualifications - I'll include as a paragraph.
Now, I need to preserve all substantive information. Use - for lists. For the grade determinations, it's a table-like structure but I'll use nested lists or paragraphs. Since it's complex, I'll use a list of grades with descriptions.
Better to use
with - for each grade level, and within each li, use paragraphs or sublists.
But the rules say use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So I can use nested lists.
Let me structure Qualifications:
- Basic Requirements (list of items)
- Grade Determinations (list of grades with scope, education, dimension)
- Preferred Experience (list)
- Reference (paragraph with link)
I'll do:
Qualifications
