God bless you as well! 🙏🏾

Thank you so much 😀

I hope it was helpful!

Aww that’s great! Thanks for the support! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out.

I went to Grand Canyon University for my Masters. It’s a good program and they were very helpful.

Hi! Yes it’s definitely a benefit to have a background in med surgery or acute care. It helps you to be able to assist with the workflow in the EMR system. I went online to GCU for my Masters in Informatics. You’ll learn the actual skill on the job. It may take a while to find a job but I will say the nursing informatics demand has increased significantly since I got my degree. If your hospital has an informatics committee you should join.

@@dopenursingish thank you for information.

Hey! I got it from Zara.

Thank You 💗💗

Hi! If you are going for your health information management, you may not need to go for your Masters. Working strictly from home may delay your process. Does your company have an informatics committee? If so, you should join. Who educates staff on your EMR system? Try to find that contact so you can get involved. You never know, a position may open up and you’ll be the first to call. A masters isn’t required but it does make you more marketable.

@@dopenursingish thank you so much. I will reach out to the EMR team at my job they mentioned we will be switching patient chart systems so I will ask them about becoming a super user as well. Thank you 🙏🏾

Not anymore. The attire is business casual.

Hey! No, I don’t have any computer science experience.

Thank you! 💕

Hey! It’s possible but you don’t have to go through all of that. I have some analysts in my department who aren’t nurses. Reach out to someone in that department and ask if they require you to have a nursing license.

Hey!!! Thank you and congratulations on your nursing journey! Once you get your nursing position, join the informatics committee if your job has one. Become proficient in the electronic medical record system at your job. You can also become a super user for your system. Ask to shadow an informatics nurse if you can and start networking.

Aww thank you! You just gave me some more motivation!

Thank you! 💕

Aww thank you so much! I truly appreciate it! 💕

Information systems is a bit different from nursing informatics. Nursing informatics specifically deals with the electronic medical record system and other systems that affect the clinical side of the hospital. Information systems is broad and covers many systems.

Hi, I do have a video on how to become an informatics nurse. For a quick answer, I would suggest joining the informatics committee of your institution has one, become a super user for your electronic medical record system, and start applying to jobs. If you have acute care experience, you will be an asset to the department.

Hey!!! Congratulations on your MSN! Yes it can be difficult to land a nursing informatics job. It took me 5 years. But don’t get discouraged! You can email me at [email protected].

Yes there are many work from home jobs. I work hybrid. 2 days home and 3 in office.

Aww thank you so much! I really appreciate it! 💕 I’m glad this was helpful!

Hey! Congratulations on your public health nursing journey! You can email me with questions at [email protected]

Hey! In order to become certified in nursing informatics you would need to have practiced a minimum of 2,000 hours in informatics nursing within the last 3 years; or Have practiced a minimum of 1,000 hours in informatics nursing in the last 3 years and completed a minimum of 12 semester hours of academic credit in informatics courses that are part of a graduate-level informatics nursing program; or Have completed a graduate program in informatics nursing containing a minimum of 200 hours of faculty-supervised practicum in informatics nursing If your hospital has a informatics committee, you can see if you can join and also become a super user to your EMR system.

Hey! I understand how you feel! Nursing informatics has grown so much in the past 5 years! According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of health information technologists, which includes nurse informaticists, is projected to grow 17% from 2021 to 2031, much faster than the average for all occupations.

Hi! Yes I had bedside experience for 7 years. You don’t always have to have bedside experience to work in nursing informatics but it is preferred. You’re able to identify improvement in workflows that will benefit the nurses.

Thank you! 🥰

Thank you! 🥰

Thank you! 🥰

Hi! No, I’m not informatics certified but I do plan on getting certified. I first had to complete a certain amount of hours working in informatics. I do think it will make you more marketable. Also, I think CDI is a good transition as well because you are continuously in the EMR navigating through sections. Your experience will definitely help! We communicate with CDI often with the surgical documentation.

Hey! Congratulations! Lol! Girl I understand! Dealing with people can be a lot! Informatics is continuously growing and more opportunities are available!

Aww thank you! 🥰

Awww thank you for your support! Congratulations on your nursing journey! You got this! ❤️🎉

You are on the right track to get to where you want to be! 😊 All of what you are doing will open up opportunities!

Hey! I’ve seen some LVN informatics jobs online so I’m sure it’s possible!

It depends on the institution. For nursing informatics, yes you need be a nurse. But, if you are in IT and want to transition into clinical IT I think that would be a smoother transition.

Thanks for the information, what if you aren’t in either? Would you need to get a degree in one or the other or both?

Thank you so much for your support! Wishing you the best on your interview. I’m glad this video was helpful. You will do great! You have the acute clinical experience now you can use your knowledge to improve patient outcomes post hospital. 💕

Amen! Wishing you the best on your journey! You got this! ❤️

Hey hey hey! Yes of course! [email protected]

Hi! Hope all is well! The first thing you would need to do is get into a nursing program. Depending on where you live, you can go to your local community college. There are online nursing programs such as excelsior.edu and you can do your whole program online but would need to attend clinical sites that the school provides. Once you complete nursing school and pass your state boards, experience in acute care is preferred then you can start looking into nursing informatics. Most hospitals have a nursing informatics department.
