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!

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

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!!

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

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!

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

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. 🤞🤞

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 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

@6:35 when you talk about "building"..are you talking about the informatics that code? or are you talking about building order sets in EPIC?

[SullyAfgarshe]

A lot of times moving laterally and making a career change doesn’t automatically equate to a pay raise, regardless of experience in another field

Good on you for betting on yourself

Do you go to your companies site to speak with someone in informatics about options for jobs/careers? I am currently in the OR. Been in the OR for 6 yrs, and 2 yrs of it (presently) has been as resource nurse. I have a title as informatics coordinator, but have been very involved in IntraOp workgroup meetings with Epic and advocating for the OR side for workflow. I educate on Epic charting for new hires. I also submit new tickets for things pertaining to Epic workflow that we need changes to. I have met the VP of informatics and I know some analysts being involved with workflow topics. Would it benefit to apply or go for an informatics certificate? I am aware of potential pay slashes from where I am at.
Thank you!

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...

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.

[jamiemauser]

can you do clinical education with an MSN in informatics?

[ikevinstar]

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

[taba]

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

[fmadrid]

Hi, what EHR do you use in your present job?

[NguyenVan-blux]
