Restorative Life Enrichment Nursing Assistant - Geriatrics and Extended Care

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Summary (maybe About the role?), Qualifications (lots), Physical Requirements, Duties, Work Schedule (Full time, flexibility). Also maybe Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Not mentioned. So we should include sections: About the role (maybe from Summary), Responsibilities (Duties), Requirements (Qualifications + Basic Requirements + Grade Determinations?), Skills (maybe KSAs?), Schedule (Work Schedule). Also Physical Requirements could be part of Requirements or separate? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose which to include. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting includes a lot of qualification text; we need to keep it. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll structure:

About the role

Summary Northern Arizona VA Health Care System is looking for a Restorative Life Enrichment Nursing Assistant to join the Geriatrics and Extended Care Community Living Center team!

Responsibilities

• ... list each duty as li

We need to preserve all duties text. The duties paragraph: "The duties of the position include - but are not limited to: Demonstrates knowledge of geriatric care to participate in a restorative/rehabilitative plan of carePerforms care according the CLC Restorative Care Program: Bowel and Bladder toileting - Bed Mobility - Ambulation and Transfers - ADL - Amputation and Prosthetic Care - ROM - Splint and Brace Care - and Restorative DiningCarries out the restorative services according to the plan of care using interventions that assist or promote the Veteran's ability to attain his or her maximum functional potential and using a safe mannerPerforms active and passive range of motionProvides assistance using verbal and physical guidance and direction that teaches the Veteran how to apply or applies the splint/brace as needed with verbal cues to Veteran and monitoring skin before donning/doffingIdentifies and performs proper transfer procedures using appropriate techniques - body mechanics - and equipmentAmbulates Veteran using appropriate bed mobility assist - sit/stand - and assistive device as appropriateAssists and monitors assessed needs and follows interventions for restorative diningProvides education and or assistance with amputation or newly acquired prostheticsEncourages Veteran self-care with ADLsWork Schedule: Full timeThis position potentially requires flexibility in schedule and assignments - as this is a 24/7 hospitalSome positions require rotation of tours or indefinite work on non-administrative tours as established by the immediate supervisorNot all duties may be listed - so other duties may be assignedCompressed/Flexible: AvailableTelework: Not availableVirtual: This is not a virtual positionFunctional Statement #: 000000 Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not authorizedPermanent Change of Station (PCS): Not authorized." We need to separate duties from schedule etc. The schedule info appears after duties. We'll extract duties up to "Encourages Veteran self-care with ADLs". Then schedule info separate. Thus Responsibilities section includes bullet list of duties (the list before schedule). We'll split by sentences? Better to keep as bullet items each duty phrase. Let's list duties: - Demonstrates knowledge of geriatric care to participate in a restorative/rehabilitative plan of care - Performs care according the CLC Restorative Care Program: Bowel and Bladder toileting - Bed Mobility - Ambulation and Transfers - ADL - Amputation and Prosthetic Care - ROM - Splint and Brace Care - and Restorative Dining - Carries out the restorative services according to the plan of care using interventions that assist or promote the Veteran's ability to attain his or her maximum functional potential and using a safe manner - Performs active and passive range of motion - Provides assistance using verbal and physical guidance and direction that teaches the Veteran how to apply or applies the splint/brace as needed with verbal cues to Veteran and monitoring skin before donning/doffing - Identifies and performs proper transfer procedures using appropriate techniques - body mechanics - and equipment - Ambulates Veteran using appropriate bed mobility assist - sit/stand - and assistive device as appropriate - Assists and monitors assessed needs and follows interventions for restorative dining - Provides education and or assistance with amputation or newly acquired prosthetics - Encourages Veteran self-care with ADLs Now schedule: "Work Schedule: Full timeThis position potentially requires flexibility in schedule and assignments - as this is a 24/7 hospitalSome positions require rotation of tours or indefinite work on non-administrative tours as established by the immediate supervisorNot all duties may be listed - so other duties may be assignedCompressed/Flexible: AvailableTelework: Not availableVirtual: This is not a virtual positionFunctional Statement #: 000000 Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not authorizedPermanent Change of Station (PCS): Not authorized." We need to put schedule info in a Schedule section. Also maybe include Functional Statement etc as metadata but not as heading. Could be a short p. Now Requirements/Qualifications: The posting has "Qualifications" heading with sub-sections: Applicants pending..., Basic Requirements (Citizenship, English, Experience/Education/Training, Grandfathering Provisions, Grade Determinations). Also Physical Requirements. Also maybe Skills (KSAs). We need to decide sections. We could have:

Requirements

... combine Basic Requirements etc.

But we also have Skills section for KSAs. Could separate. Given instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one Requirements section, and Skills separate? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We could include Requirements (covering basic requirements, grade determinations) and Skills (KSAs). Also Physical Requirements could be part of Requirements. Let's create:

Requirements

• ... each requirement as li

But the requirements text is lengthy prose; we could keep as

but instruction says use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So if we have a list, we should use ul. The requirements are not a simple list but we can break into bullet points. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; we can convert paragraphs into bullet points but must not lose info. It's okay to break into bullet points as long as we keep the content. Let's extract requirements: From "Qualifications" section: - Applicants pending the completion of educational or certification/licensure requirements may be referred and tentatively selected but may not be hired until all requirements are met. Basic Requirements: - United States Citizenship (Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA Policy) - English Language Proficiency (Must be proficient in spoken and written English in accordance with VA Policy) - Experience or Education or Training: - Six months of general experience (Experience must demonstrate the ability to acquire the knowledge and skills to perform the work of a NAOR) - One year of education above high school with courses related to the NA occupation - OR Completion of an intensive - specialized - occupation-related [training] course of study [or program] of less than one year as a NA may also meet in full the experience requirements for GS-3. - Grandfathering Provisions: (text) - Grade Determinations: - GS-3 NA (Entry Level): Experience and Education: None beyond the basic requirements - GS-4 NA: Experience (One year of specialized experience as a NA or experience in another medical field ...) OR Education (Successful completion of 2 years above high school ...) AND Demonstrated Knowledge - Skills - and Abilities (KSAs) (list) - GS-5 NA (Full Performance Level): Experience (One year of progressively responsible assignments ...) OR Education (Successful completion of a 4-year course of study ...) AND Demonstrated Knowledge - Skills - and Abilities (KSAs) (list) - The full performance level of this vacancy is GS-05; actual grade range GS-03 to GS-05. - References: VA Handbook 5005 - Part II - Appendix G46 - Nursing Assistant Qualification Standard - dated May 22 - 2024 - Physical Requirements: (list) We also have KSAs for GS-4 and GS-5. We could put KSAs under Skills section. Thus:
