This is unbelievable. I landed an informatics job just like you described! Small team in a large organization. I maintain my own data & media servers at my house and I'm in the MSN Informatics program at my local college with bedside nursing experience since 2001. Im sure that helped because it was steep competition. I'm so excited to begin next month! Great video!

I'm cool with a pay decrease, being a noob to informatics. A common problem is getting that entry-level position; so many places just want experienced employees and don't want to foster growth. I am hopeful my current hospital will prove me wrong in this. I was told by our CIO that she wants 5 INs and currently has 1. She let me know a few days ago that a new position would be posted soon. 🤞🤞

*watches this with only 1 year of bedside experience* 😂maybe someday...

I mean... you could get into it with only a year experience lol, I did work with a girl who only did bedside for a year and a half.

Is bedside experience the only thing they look for? I have several years in software development, my clinical instructor suggested I look into Informatics with my background.@@DabidRobinson

The sooner, the better. I've been a bedside nurse for nearly 20 years, and I feel like it is really hard to get away from. I feel like I'm pegged to a specific set of skills and can't get out of it, even with a degree and certifications.

Awesome vid! Very informative.

Great video! Off topic question though, you mentioned things an RN could do with an Associates Degree - Could you do a video going into detail the opportunities that are out there for those of us with that educational qualification? I'd be interested in learning what your take is on this? Thanks. Keep up the great videos!!

Hi Nurse David, I'm excited to explore the field of Nursing Informatics and would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice you can offer. As a registered nurse with a Bachelor's degree in Nursing (BSN), I'm eager to learn more about how informatics can impact patient care and healthcare outcomes. Although I don't have a master's degree in informatics or direct experience, I'm confident that my nursing background can provide a strong foundation for this transition. Thank you!

Hello can you please do an updated video on potential health informatics interview questions with a specific answer example to each question? Thank you.

This is insightful! Thank you for a 2024 update😊

I work in Telemedicine as an FNP. I enjoy it, but I want to grow in my company--would you think this would help me make a better provider? I really enjoy problem solving and streamlining the patient experience

Hi i am a recent new grad nurse im interested to start in this field. how do you recommend i do so? how do i get my foot in the door? I personally dont want to do bedside as I have worked in the hospitals for past 7 years, now that i have a nursing degree i fill like i have already burned out post pandemic. and this field is something that i do find quite interesting and i see the potential for growth so i would really appreciate any insight

Do you do any work with Promoting Interoperability? CMS guidelines/requirements for reimbursement? I'm in an informatics position currently and am responsible for Promoting Interoperability currently. I'm curious as to whether this is standard or not...

Like and subscribe done. Love your contents. ❤ from one NI to another

How much do you make at your new job now that you have experience?

can you do clinical education with an MSN in informatics?

Just finished my MSN in Nursing Informatics. Its extremely difficult for me to find and land a informatics job. I think working in skilled nursing facility makes it harder for me too. Do you have any tips? Hoping you could make a video about this! Thank you.

I will definitely need to make a video on this. My experience with nursing facilities is that there are not always a whole lot of opportunities for you to get experience with informatics. You may really need to review how you are wording your resume to best advertise yourself.

I have my BSN looking at doing Masters in Nursing Informatics. I’m currently a certified case manager. My question is would you say it’s worth the degree. Do you really need a degree to get the job or the experience through other jobs tasks like UM or Case Management

It's worth it check out AMN Healthcare.just do research

So you work with software engineers? Do you need to sign non disclosures of all the data that is available to you? If you generate an idea of what would work are you not allowed to go and create a patent and develop it on your own?? This is truly fascinating to me.

Hello how are you . May I study CNA or May I still keep going doing nail ?

Hi! If you are looking for job security, or even looking to get into nursing school one day, I would definitely recommend CNA. Although the pay is not the best to begin with but it definitely has potential. Hope this helps.

Hi, nursing informatics or healthcare informatics is the best choice for nurses?

@DabidRobinson

If you can be in a position where you impact nurses, i think this is where nurses thrive best because we know the workflow of nursing. The confusing part is these terms are often used interchangeably. I say I’m a nursing informaticist although my degree is an MSN with and emphasis in health informatics but my job is Clinical Informatics Analyst 🤪🤪

Is a Master's in Informatics necessary?

@DabidRobinson

It’s really not. It can help your resume but you can apply with a BSN or even an RN.

Damn, I don't want to invest all that time and money in a degree then not find a job! Or have to move in order to do so.

Jeez bro! You are long winded
