We need to decide sections.
We have content for:
- About the role: summary about location, intermittent positions.
- Responsibilities: duties list.
- Requirements: maybe basic requirements (English proficiency, education, licensure). Could be combined with Qualifications? The instruction says 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 separate if content distinct. Requirements could be basic requirements (English proficiency, education, licensure). Qualifications could be preferred experience, grade determinations, etc. But we need to avoid duplication.
- Skills: maybe not explicit; we could omit if no specific skills listed.
- Benefits: includes Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, total rewards.
- Pay: Competitive salary etc.
- Schedule: Intermittent schedule details.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include sections with real content.
Let's extract content.
About the role: "These Registered Nurse positions are located in the Primary Care Service - with one position at the Somersworth - NH VA Clinic and one position at the Tilton - NH VA Clinic. These positions are intermittent positions."
Responsibilities: Duties list: many sentences. We'll put each as
- .
Requirements: Basic Requirements: English Language Proficiency, graduation from approved school, licensure, etc. Also maybe physical requirements? Physical requirements could be separate but we could put under Requirements. However there is a separate "Physical Requirements" paragraph. Could be part of Requirements.
Qualifications: Preferred Experience: Primary care - Medical Office Experience. Grade Determinations: detailed scope/education/dimension criteria for Nurse I levels, Nurse II, Nurse III. Also maybe GNT exception, grandfathering provision. Those are qualifications.
Skills: Not explicitly listed; we could omit.
Benefits: Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, total rewards.
Pay: Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards.
Schedule: Intermittent; minimum 24 hours a month; shifts Monday-Friday 7:30am-4:00pm or 8:00am-4:30pm.
We also have Telework: Not Available; Virtual: Not a virtual position; Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not Authorized; PCS: Not Authorized; Notifications: excepted service, special rate, SF-50 requirement. Those could be placed under a section like "Additional Information" but not in allowed headings. Since we must only use allowed headings, we could incorporate those into appropriate sections: e.g., Notifications could go under Requirements or Qualifications? Might be considered "Requirements" (documents needed). Could be under Requirements as "Application documentation". But we must not invent headings. We could add a
under Requirements for those notifications. However the instruction says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. It doesn't say we cannot have other headings, but we should stick to those. Probably better to include only those headings and put other info as paragraphs under appropriate sections.
Thus:
- About the role: About the role
...
- Responsibilities: Responsibilities
- ...
...
- Requirements: Requirements
maybe list basic requirements: English language proficiency, graduation from approved school, licensure, physical ability, pre-placement exam, SF-50 for federal employees, etc. Could also include "Must be able to perform duties", "Pre placement examination". Also "Not a bargaining unit position", "Excepted service", "Special rate". Might be okay.
- Qualifications: Qualifications
include preferred experience, grade determinations, GNT exception, grandfathering provision, foreign education equivalency, etc.
- Benefits: Benefits
Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, total rewards.
- Pay: Pay
Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards
- Schedule: Schedule
Intermittent; minimum 24 hours per month; shifts Monday-Friday 7:30am-4:00pm or 8:00am-4:30pm.
We should not include Telework, Virtual, Relocation, PCS as separate sections; we could mention them under Requirements or Benefits? Probably under Requirements as "Telework not available; position not virtual; relocation/recruitment incentives not authorized; PCS not authorized." Could be a paragraph.
Now we need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract details precisely.
