- If you have questions about this role, please contact meredith.files@mainehealth.org
- Hiring Scam Alert ... (boilerplate to remove)
- Notice Regarding Maine Employer Surveillance Statute ... (boilerplate to remove)
We need to remove boilerplate: Hiring Scam Alert, Notice Regarding Maine Employer Surveillance Statute, also any EEO etc. Also remove application instructions? The contact email is maybe considered application instruction? The instruction says "If you have questions about this role, please contact meredith.files@mainehealth.org". That's not exactly application instructions but contact. Might be considered contact info; we can keep? The instruction says remove application instructions. This is not exactly application instructions but contact. Might be okay to keep as a short paragraph? However, it's not a list; it's prose. Could keep as
. But it's not essential? It's contact info; maybe we keep as part of Additional Information? But we can keep as separate
if needed.
We need to include sections only when there is real specific content.
Potential sections:
- About the role (maybe summary of role)
- Responsibilities (the role description: assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation, collaborates, delegates, communicates)
- Requirements (KSAs: education, licensure, experience, additional skills)
- Qualifications (maybe overlapping with requirements; but we can combine)

- Schedule (Full-time, 36 hours/week, Day shift)
We need to avoid filler like "N/A". The Additional Skills/Requirements Preferred: N/A should be omitted; we should not create a section for that.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include sign-on bonus details, eligibility, prorated for part-time, ineligibility for current employees, etc.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So no
Registered Nurse.
We need to not put Job ID as heading; we can fold into a short
maybe at top.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's structure:
Pen Bay Hospital Nursing Req #: 86664
Then sections.
We need to decide which sections to include.
We have substantive content for:
- About the role: maybe the Summary and Unit Bio? Could be "About the role" includes summary of position and unit description.
- Responsibilities: The Registered Nurse - Acute Care role provides high quality patient care through assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of patient outcomes. Collaborates, delegates, and communicates with members of the healthcare team to ensure optimal care.
- Requirements: Education, Licensure/Certification, Experience, Additional Skills/Requirements Required.
- Qualifications: maybe combine with Requirements? But we could have Qualifications as a separate section listing preferred qualifications (BSN preferred, etc). However we risk duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called "Requirements". Or we could have "Requirements" for mandatory and "Preferred Qualifications" for preferred. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's think.
We have mandatory: Education (graduate of accredited school required), Licensure/Certification (BLS required, etc), Experience (one year recent RN experience preferred? Actually "preferred" not required). Additional Skills/Requirements Required: Annual Electronic Fetal Monitoring competency.
Preferred: BSN preferred, maybe other certifications.
We could have a section "Requirements" covering both required and preferred, using lists.
We also have Benefits: list of benefits.
Pay: pay rates and sign-on bonus.
Schedule: full-time 36 hours/week day shift.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "N/A". So we skip Preferred: N/A.
Now we need to format lists.
For each section, we use heading, then either
for prose or
- for list.
We need to decide what goes in list vs prose.
For About the role: we have summary and unit bio. Could be prose paragraphs.
For Responsibilities: we have a sentence describing responsibilities; could be prose.
For Requirements: we have multiple items; could be list.
For Benefits: list.
For Pay: could be prose with details.
For Schedule: could be prose.
Let's extract exact text.
