Aww thank you! If you have any questions, let me know 🥰 Stay blessed as well ❤️

Thank you so much!! You will land that informatics job! If you have any questions, let me know.

I hope this video helped to give more insight! If you have any additional questions let me know. Oooh 100% remote! That’s great! 🥰

Hey! Thanks! If you have any questions let me know.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hey! 😊 I see a lot of health informatics jobs out there! I’ve only had a little experience with Epic but I hear that people love it. Cerner is good once you get familiar with it but some people find it difficult to navigate.

@@dopenursingish827 is the pay close to or far below rn nurse pay?

That’s great!!! There are many people on my team that are analysts with different healthcare backgrounds! Definitely apply if a position becomes available.

Thank you for the support as well! 💕

I just want touch screen charting.

Aww thank you so much! 💕

@@dopenursingish827 I admire strong successful black women. Keep Rising queen!

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

Thank you! I hope you found this video helpful. Quality Review has a lot of similarities because one of the goals is to improve patient care and outcomes with workflow. With your background you will be an asset to discussions on how to improve the EMR systems in order to improve navigation of the system and workflows for the nurses and doctors. Plus having the experience with different applications is a plus. With informatics you’ll be hands on in building and maintaining the system.

Hey! I think you can definitely transition into informatics without going back to school. I know a few individuals without informatics degrees. If your institution has an informatics committee, definitely join. Also, if you see any job postings, apply. UM and any nursing background is a benefit for informatic nursing.

Hey! Hope all is well! It would be beneficial to have at least a year at bedside because it would make you more marketable in nursing informatics when applying for jobs. Not unless you have a background in IT already.

Hi! I didn’t take any extra courses besides getting my masters in informatics, but I would encourage you to seek informatics committee at your place of work if they have it. Also, just apply for informatics roles. Employers like nurses with clinical experience. You’ll learn the role once you start. I hope this helps.

The pay is definitely comparable or higher depending on your experience, place of work, and state. For me, definitely higher.

Hey! I’m glad the tips were helpful! I don’t think you need a degree in informatics. There are a few people on my team who doesn’t have a degree in informatics. However, I do think it will make you more marketable if that’s your goal. In the meantime, I would join a informatics council at your institution if they have one.

Thank you! I haven’t seen scholarships but I’m sure it’s some out there. Check to see if your job has tuition reimbursement. That should help out with tuition. From my experience so far you don’t need to know to much details about cloud computing. My institution focuses more of the background build of the EMR system and making the front end for the user easy to navigate. Cloud computing is needed for just general IT. I hope this helps.

Hey! No problem! I hope you found it helpful. No, the amount of years doesn’t matter. But I would say have at least 2-3 years of clinical experience is helpful when interviewing.

No problem! If you specifically want to get into nursing informatics then yes but informatics or IT in general no.

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.

Hey! You don’t need a Masters but it does make you more marketable. Yes definitely experienced a pay increase from bedside to informatics.

Hi you don’t need to get your masters to work in informatics. But in order to work remotely, you will need some in office experience. If you currently work at a hospital you should see if there is an informatics committee and join that. That will give you an idea of what goes on in the workflow for informatics nurses and teams.

Hi! If your place of work doesn’t offer classes on your EMR system, you can look into obtaining your Masters degree in Nursing informatics. Or you can join the informatics committee if your job has one.

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.

@@dopenursingish827 thank you for responding to me ✨🔆☀️

Hi! I will be booking sessions in the next coming weeks but in the meantime if you have a question let me know. 😊

It takes time. I didn’t get my first informatics nursing job until 5 years after completing my Masters. But you’ll get there. Just keep applying!

I see that there are not jo s for this. It’s very hard to get into. I’m about to just get into fnp in case because there are many jobs for that

I went to GCU (Grand Canyon University) It was online. I highly recommend this program. The advisors were very helpful throughout the whole process.

@@dopenursingish827is that program self passed?

I was going to apply to this university, but the fee is much, I have been looking to have my nursing msn in informatics , but the fee is a turn off

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?

Im glad it helped! It depends on the state but over 100,000
