My personal opinion, from my own experiences, there's just too much data and too many roles that need to be filled by skilled and knowledgeable professionals in this space. I would hate to speak too soon, but I cannot imagine it ever becoming too saturated. As you mentioned informatics keeps evolving, so there will always be a demand for people who can keep up with the changes.

It was helpful because I was trying to determine if cybersecurity was in this field also I didn’t want to get into it and get bored😂. But I can’t do lifting or bedside and honestly don’t want to supervise anyone just give me the computer and let’s dance! 😂 also someone mentioned the certificate for informatics. Currently I have a BSN in nursing. Is there a difference between getting my masters and getting the certificate and informatics

I'm debating between Nursing informatics and healthcare informatics. I want to have a broader field of study and be marketable as well. What's your say on it? Thank you!

Thanks a lot for the nice talk and for overviewing some points, , I'm a healthcare pro and I have a question, does healthcare informatics requires great skils of technology..???
I mean I can clearly see how significant this speciality is and how growing it is, but I'm afraid to enter it because of the fact that I don't know a lot about IT, I thought of getting a postgraduate degree in health informatics but still not 100% about this step 🙄🤔🧐

The logic is even simpler than that. If there is a shortage of nurses and the shortage is more severe now than when you made this video, then it would stand to reason that there's going to be a shortage of healthcare informatics. Right now WGU is super low cost so I'm eyeing it.

Hello! I want to start off by saying thank you for making this video because I was thinking about getting a masters in health informatics. Currently, I have my bachelors in health science but I found out recently that I don’t enjoy clinical work as much as I hoped I would and wanted to veer towards something more health/tech/management related instead. What specializations are in health informatics? I saw stuff online related to pharmacy informatics, nursing informatics, and general health informatics, but I was wondering if there was health informatics for each health related field? Such as optometry, dentistry, dermatology, etc.? I don’t know if that makes sense but I’m also really trying to figure out what specializations exist within the health informatics field. I really appreciate any feedback/advice! Thank you ❤

I’m a brand new nurse, graduated in December.. I’m thinking of getting my MSN before going to work but I’m not sure which route would be the best in the long run. I know everyone is going to want some kind of nursing experience, but I’m hoping informatics won’t require too much direct patient care experience since that’s not where my passion in healthcare is anymore (I thought that’s what I wanted before going in but clinical experiences soured me on bedside)

From my experience Nurses do not do well in health informatics they don't understand the data and are poor at building, more and more companies are hiring people with IT background then clinical background. People with IT background adapt much faster to health informatics and are cheaper to hire. I believe in the future there will be less people in health informatics with clinical background, Nurse positions in health informatics will be limited

Hi there, I've watched a couple of your videos and they are so insightful! I graduated with a MSN in Healthcare Informatics in 2021 and it was a bit difficult to find a job in some of those roles you mentioned due to lack of experience. I'm currently working as a CDI specialist which I think will provide some experience. I had 19 years of floor nursing experience before taking on this new role. I think it was definitely "wrong timing" for exploring new opportunities since we were still in the mix of Covid. Do you think getting the Informatics certification is a valuable decision? Thank you :)

Currently taking a professional certification in health informatics. I’m an ER nurse hoping to transition into health informatics. I heard it came be hard to break into

Hello, I'm an Optometrist from Nigeria. At this point of I'm confused on the career part to really choose for my masters degree. I used to consider getting an MPH, but currently I started a course on Google data analytics and seriously I'm loving it, so I'm thinking of going for health informatics. I want to know if it's worth it or should I just go for MPH. What are the chances that Health informatics would keep my pockets laughing and blushing?

Hi. Thank you for this video. But I have queries, I have Masters in computer science and I am interested in Health care informatics. What program (degree or diploma ) I have to study to get a job in health informatics? Please advise

[jamiemauser]

Are all informatics jobs full time? Or part time options available?
