for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that are substantive, but we can format them.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to cut out lines like "Apply Now", "UC San Diego values and welcomes people from all backgrounds..." etc. Also the long EEO statement, vaccination policy, etc. Also the "If employed by the University of California..." etc. Also the "Applications/Resumes are accepted..." etc. Also the "For more information, please visit UC San Diego Principles of Community." etc. Also the "UC San Diego is a smoke and tobacco free environment." etc. Also the "UC San Diego Health maintains a marijuana and drug free environment." etc. Also the "Misconduct Disclosure Requirement:" etc. All that is boilerplate/legal; remove.
We also need to remove duplicated lines like "Apply Now" appears multiple times.
We need to keep the substantive info: description about Magnet, responsibilities, minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, special conditions, pay, schedule, worksite, appointment type, percent, union, contract, total openings.
We need to decide where to put each piece.
Let's draft sections:
About the role
UC San Diego Health is a four-time Magnet-designated organization and has earned Magnet with Distinction from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Magnet is the gold standard for nursing excellence, achieved by only about 10% of hospitals worldwide. Magnet with Distinction is awarded to the highest-performing Magnet organizations, with only a select few earning this prestigious honor. This recognition reflects our commitment to transformational leadership, professional nursing excellence, innovation, exceptional patient outcomes, and an empowering practice environment where nurses thrive.
The Apheresis RN will be responsible for plasmapheresis, photopheresis, stem cell collections, LDL apheresis, RBC exchange, and white cell depletions. This position requires flexible availability to various sites. Willing to train appropriate candidate. Includes Pediatric, on-call and weekend assignments.
Worksite: Koman Family Outpatient Pavilion. Appointment Type: Per Diem. Appointment Percent: 20%. Union: NX. Contract Total Openings: 3.
But note: The description also includes autonomous nursing care definition etc. That could be part of Responsibilities or Skills. Might be better to put under Responsibilities.
Let's think: The posting includes a paragraph about Autonomous nursing care is the ability... This is more of a description of expected practice, could be under Responsibilities or Skills. We'll include under Responsibilities as part of duties.
Responsibilities section: list of duties.
We can make a list:
- Perform plasmapheresis, photopheresis, stem cell collections, LDL apheresis, RBC exchange, and white cell depletions.
- Provide autonomous nursing care consistent with ANA Standards of Practice and Professional Performance, exercising independent judgment within interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches to patient care.
- Function in a fast-paced environment, demonstrate excellent interpersonal and communication skills, empathy, and kindness to staff and patients.
- Safely operate highly specialized equipment and manage complex procedures while maintaining close observation of the patient.
- Demonstrate commitment to patient-centered care, teamwork, professionalism, empathy, and respectful communication.
- Work independently while functioning effectively as part of an interdisciplinary team.
- Work at multiple UC San Diego Health locations and participate in pediatric, on-call, weekend, and other scheduling assignments based on operational needs.
- Flexible availability to various sites; willing to train appropriate candidate.
- Include Pediatric, on-call and weekend assignments.
We need to ensure we don't lose any detail: The posting also mentions "Autonomous nursing care is the ability of a nurse to assess and provide nursing actions as appropriate for patient care populations based on competence, professional expertise, and knowledge. The nurse is expected to practice autonomously consistent with ANA Standards of Practice and Professional Performance. Independent judgment is expected to be exercised within the context of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches to patient care." We captured that.
Also "While not required, a cover letter is highly recommended when applying to this position." That's application instruction; we should remove.
Now Requirements (Minimum Qualifications) list:
- Must be a graduate from an accredited school of Nursing.
- RN License issued by the State of California.
- BART or BLS/CPR certification at time of hire with commitment to get BART within six months of hire date.
- At least one (1) year of recent Therapeutic Apheresis RN experience, Infusion, Vascular, ICU, Emergency Department, or other comparable procedural or acute-care RN experience within the past six months.
- Demonstrated proficiency and experience with peripheral IV insertion and other vascular access options such as a central venous catheter or implanted ports.
- Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills to manage multiple levels of information and responsibilities, and to quickly assess moderately-complex problems to develop potential solutions.
- Must be able to function in a fast-paced environment, have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and consistently demonstrate empathy and kindness to all staff and patients.
- Ability to safely operate highly specialized equipment and manage complex procedures while maintaining close observation of the patient.
- Demonstrated commitment to patient-centered care, teamwork, professionalism, empathy, and respectful communication.
- Ability to work independently while also functioning effectively as part of an interdisciplinary team.
- Ability to work at multiple UC San Diego Health locations and participate in pediatric, on-call, weekend, and other scheduling assignments based on operational needs.
Note: Some of these overlap with responsibilities; but we must preserve all substantive info. We'll include them as is.
Preferred Qualifications list:
- BSN.
- Experience performing therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE).
- Experience with additional therapeutic apheresis procedures such as extracorporeal photopheresis, red blood cell exchange, cellular therapy or stem cell collection, or LDL apheresis.
- Experience with hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC), immune effector cell (IEC), CAR-T, Gene Therapy, or other cellular therapy collections.
- Experience managing extracorporeal circuits, difficult vascular access, and/or ultrasound-guided peripheral IV insertion.
- Experience caring for both adult and pediatric patient populations.
- Experience working in an academic medical center, specialty procedural setting, or clinical research environment.
Skills: Could be a list of skills derived from minimum qualifications: critical thinking, problem-solving, interpersonal communication, empathy, ability to operate equipment, etc. But we already have those in requirements. To avoid duplication, maybe we can combine skills into Requirements or have a separate Skills section if there is distinct content not already covered. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading; but we can create a Skills section if we have specific skill statements not already in Requirements. However, the instructions: "Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose." It doesn't forbid having a Skills section if we have content. But we should not create thin sections. The posting does not explicitly list skills separate from qualifications; but we could extract skill statements from Minimum Qualifications (like strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, excellent interpersonal and communication skills, ability to safely operate highly specialized equipment, etc.) and put them in Skills section. However, that would duplicate content from Requirements. The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplicating is not inventing, but it's repeating detail. Might be okay but could be considered redundant. Better to keep them under Requirements (minimum qualifications) and not create a separate Skills section unless there is distinct skill content not already captured. Since the posting does not have a separate skills
