Registered Nurse (RN) - Med Surg Float Pool
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information: we must include details like shift times, rotating weekends, full/part time, pay range, benefits list, responsibilities list, requirements list (education, certification, experience, knowledge/skills, physical requirements), preferred qualifications (BSN). Also maybe include "Hours Per Week 36". That's schedule detail.
We need to avoid duplication: there is repeated "Benefits Eligible Yes" and later benefits list; we just list benefits once.
We need to drop application instructions like "Note: All candidates who apply to this job will receive an invitation to complete an AI Voice (phone/audio) screening." That's application instruction; remove.
Also drop "Our CommitmenttoYou" heading? It's not a standard heading; we can incorporate its content into Benefits section.
We need to drop "About Advocate Health" maybe? It's not a standard heading; we could incorporate some of that into About the role? But it's more about employer; maybe we can keep as prose under About the role? Might be okay.
Let's craft sections:

We need to ensure we didn't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". All good.
Check for any duplicated content: we included responsibilities list as given. We included requirements list as given. We included benefits list from "Our CommitmenttoYou". We included schedule details. We included pay range.
We omitted the "Note: Licensed nurses practicing via telehealth..." etc. That's part of requirements; we included license requirement but omitted the telehealth note. That's okay; it's part of license requirement but we kept the core. The note about telehealth is maybe considered boilerplate? It's still substantive but we can keep as part of license requirement. However we omitted it; maybe we should include it to preserve all substantive info. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that note. It's about license requirement for telehealth. It's substantive. Let's add a line under Certification/License: "Note: Licensed nurses practicing via telehealth/telenursing/virtual modalities are required to be licensed or hold the privilege to practice in the state(s) where the client(s) is/are located. Licensed nurses are responsible and accountable for knowing, understanding, and practicing in compliance with the laws, rules, regulations, and standards of practice of the state(s) where the client(s) is/are located."
We can include that as a sub‑bullet or separate sentence.
Also we omitted "Additional education, training, certifications, or experience may be required based on specialty." That's part of requirements; we should include.
Also "Must be able to demonstrate knowledge and skills necessary to provide care appropriate to the age of the patients served. Must demonstrate knowledge of the principles of growth and development over the life span and possess the ability to assess data reflective of the patient's status and interpret the appropriate information needed to identify each patient's requirements relative to his/her age-specific needs, and to provide the care needed as described in the department's policies and procedures. Age-specific information is developed further in the departmental job standards". That's part of responsibilities (we have a bullet about age-specific care). We captured some but not the full detail. We should preserve that detail. Let's add a bullet: "Must demonstrate knowledge of the principles of growth and development over the life span and possess the ability to assess data reflective of the patient's status and interpret the appropriate information needed to identify each patient's requirements relative to his/her age‑specific needs, and to provide the care needed as described in the department's policies and procedures."
Also "Must be able to demonstrate knowledge and skills necessary to provide care appropriate to the age of the patients served." We'll incorporate.
Also "Minimum Job
