RN Unit Based PRN
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. The posting includes: "A Brief Overview" (maybe About the role). Then "What You Will Do" (Responsibilities). There's no explicit Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However there is mention of "Works flexible work schedule within service line in accordance with Float Pool staffing guidelines." That's schedule info. So we could include a Schedule section with that sentence. Also maybe "Maintains required licensures/certifications required within assigned units/areas." That could be Qualifications? But it's more like requirement. There's no explicit qualifications list. However we could treat "Maintains required licensures/certifications" as a qualification. But we need to avoid thin sections. Better to have About the role (overview), Responsibilities (the bullet list), and Schedule (flexible work schedule). Possibly also Qualifications (licensure/certifications). But we need to see if there is enough content. The posting includes: "Maintains required licensures/certifications required within assigned units/areas." That's a qualification. Also "Completes required continuous training and education, including department specific requirements." That's also qualification. Could be under Requirements/Qualifications. But we need to decide.
We should not create sections with filler like "not specified". If we include Qualifications, we need actual content. We have those sentences. So we can include a Qualifications section with those points.
Also there is mention of "Works flexible work schedule within assigned service line in accordance with float pool staffing guidelines." That's schedule.
Thus sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (the bullet list), Qualifications (licensure/certifications, continuous training), Schedule (flexible work schedule). Possibly also Skills? Not explicit.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information. The overview: "A Brief Overview Provides professional nursing care to patients within assigned unit/area utilizing the nursing process to assess, plan, implement and evaluate patient care. Works flexible work schedules within service line in accordance with Float Pool staffing guidelines."
But note that the flexible schedule sentence appears also later. Might duplicate. We'll keep overview without schedule? The overview includes that sentence; but we also have schedule section. To avoid duplication, we could keep overview without that sentence, but we must preserve all substantive information. If we remove it from overview, we lose it unless we put it in schedule. So we can keep overview without that sentence, and put schedule info in schedule section. That's okay as we preserve the info.
Thus overview: "Provides professional nursing care to patients within assigned unit/area utilizing the nursing process to assess, plan, implement and evaluate patient care."
Now responsibilities: all the bullet points under "What You Will Do". Many bullet points start with "*". We'll convert each to
- . Also there are some sentences not preceded by * but part of paragraphs. We'll need to parse.
Let's extract responsibilities text:
"Provides nursing care according to medical regime and the nursing intervention appropriate for the patients' conditions and according to established standards, policies and procedures including care of the medicine and surgery patient."
Then bullet list:
* Initiates assessment based on the patient's presenting problems or needs, the physician's medical diagnosis and the functional health framework upon admission and patient assignment.
* Collects key information from patient, family, laboratory, and other medical reports.
* Determines nursing diagnosis and priorities for care with special consideration given to patient teaching, discharge planning, and the growth and development needs of the patient.
* Determines which standards of care and practice apply to the patient.
* Documents assessment, including nursing diagnoses or other clinical judgments.
* Demonstrates knowledge and technical, interpersonal and critical thinking skills to provide care, maintain clinical competency and meet age-specific patient needs within the unit.
* Demonstrates ability to manage the care of patients with conditions common to the assigned unit.
Performs clinical rounds and completes ongoing assessments according to nursing division policy and/or as determined by patient condition, re-prioritizes care based on new information, continues to update nursing diagnoses, and involves family and/or other significant individuals in assessment activities.
Assesses plans and implements care of assigned patients. Performs therapeutic nursing interventions as ordered by the Physician, consistent with primary and population-specific standards of care and practice, with consideration given to knowledge gained from the initial and ongoing assessment of the patient.
* Consistent with nursing division policies and procedures, demonstrated competencies, and with consideration given to risk management, infection control practices, and patient safety practices.
* Consistent with the nature of the assigned unit, including but not limited to, admission/assessment interventions, administration of medication (IM, IV, SQ, PO), pain management measures.
* Prepares and maintains required records, reports and files for administrative and compliance purposes.
* Maintains a clean, orderly, safe environment for patients and personnel.
Adheres to established policies, compliance/quality improvement, and safety, environment and infection control standards.
Determines the impact of nursing interventions on the patient's condition and recognizes the patient's progress towards meeting desired outcomes.
Documents care based on standards of care and practice and/or clinical priorities for documentation including, assessment and ongoing assessment findings, updated clinical priorities for documentation, therapeutic nursing interventions with special attention to patient education and discharge planning interventions, and patient’s response to interventions and progress towards outcomes are noted.
Prepares equipment/supplies and assists physician during treatments, procedures and examinations. Performs specialized duties applicable to assigned unit.
Responds and/or participates with medical emergencies. Initiates and/or assists with CPR/BLS/ACLS as required.
Provides teaching to patient/family in the care of disease/condition. Develops and implements patient teaching outlines including objectives, content, teaching strategies and evaluation of patient progress.
Maintains patient medical records; documents patient status and care given; performs charting duties; records activities and observations. Utilizes patient computer systems to enter and retrieve data.
Confers and works collaboratively with patient/family/hospital staff regarding all aspects of patient needs (i.e., patient admission/discharge of/transfer process, discharge planning, referrals, coordinating exams/therapy/rehab, requisitions for supplies, obtains medical records, etc.) in a customer responsive and courteous manner, in compliance with Premier Behavior Standards and promoting patient/customer satisfaction.
Provides instruction, assigns and supervises LPN and other support personnel assigned to unit to complete the initial and ongoing assessments of patients and to provide clinical assistance as needed. Assists in the orientation and oversee the supervision of new staff members and students when they provide patient care, treatment, and services as part of their training.
Transports monitored patients, specimens, equipment and supplies to and from various areas.
Collaborates with forensic team and security to provide safe environment for patients in custody.
Completes required continuous training and education, including department specific requirements.
Maintains required licensures/certifications required within assigned units/areas.
Works flexible work schedule within assigned service line in accordance with float pool staffing guidelines.
We need to separate responsibilities from qualifications/schedule. The last three lines about continuous training, licensure, flexible schedule could be qualifications/schedule.
Thus responsibilities should stop before "Completes required continuous training and education". Let's cut there.
Thus responsibilities include everything up to "Transports monitored patients, specimens, equipment and supplies to and from various areas." plus maybe "Collaborates with forensic team and security to provide safe environment for patients in custody." That is still responsibility.
After that, we have qualifications: "Completes required continuous training and education, including department specific requirements." and "Maintains required licensures/certifications required within assigned units/areas."
Schedule: "Works flexible work schedule within assigned service line in accordance with float pool staffing guidelines."
Now we need to format.

then with - for each bullet point. However some responsibilities are not bullet points but sentences. We could still wrap each sentence as
