The writer wanted to highlight the breadth of the individual's experience in nursing in general and gerontology in particular. A pair of parallel lines with shading makes the centered section headings stand out. A combination of first-level diamond bullets and second-level round bullets ties together the two pages visually. Boldfacing calls attention to the person's years of experience, her degrees and certification, and her occupations.
