RN Registered Nurse IMCU FT Nights
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The job description includes summary, responsibilities (list of duties), requirements (education, experience, licenses/certifications). Possibly also qualifications (maybe same as requirements). Skills could be derived but not explicit. Benefits, Pay, Schedule not mentioned. So we should include sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (the enumerated list), Requirements (education, experience, licenses/certifications). Possibly Qualifications could be same as Requirements but we should not duplicate. The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine education, experience, licenses into Requirements. Could also have a Skills section if we extract skills from responsibilities (e.g., medication administration, documentation, safety, professional development, technology, compliance, patient/family centered care, age & culture). But those are more responsibilities. Might be better to have Responsibilities and Requirements only. Also About the role (summary). So three sections.
We need to use for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities and requirements.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to format the content.
Let's extract summary: "Manages individualized, outcome oriented nursing care through the use of the nursing process. Provides care, treatment and services through the successful coordination and completion of a series of processes that include assessment, planning care, providing care, in accordance with departmental and hospital policies and procedures". That's the summary.
Now responsibilities: enumerated 1-8 with subpoints a,b,c... We need to preserve all. Use
for top-level responsibilities? Each numbered item is a responsibility with subpoints. Could treat each numbered item as - and subpoints as nested
. That preserves detail.
We must not lose any subpoints.

1. Medication Administration
