YAy happy it helped

Happy you found it helpful!!

You are so welcome!

There is such thing as traveling nursing informatics, that I am not including in that range. Thanks for the support!

Hey that’s awesome! It is very competitive for sure but now that we are in, I think things will be much better! Do you think the information in this video was pretty accurate?

@@DabidRobinson Hi David, I think you are very accurate, however I’ve been an RN for 18 years and now with an MSN, that put me in a different pay range (with my organization). During school I precepted with the Informatics manager at my organization and she basically said the same as you when it come to pay. I did have to take a small pay cut with the CDI position, but as you stated it’s well worth it!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

Are you familiar with any EHRs? Cerner, Meditech, Epic? If you are place that on your resume. Try clinical support analyst, this is a Cerner role title, and kind of an informatics position in disguise.

Yeah location makes a different in these numbers, I’m in phx Arizona, please give the video a thumbs up!

Thats really awesome, tell me more! Do you currently work at bedside? Or do you already work in the field?

Search: analyst, informatics, health informatics, nursing informatics, clinical support analyst, clinical informatics. Those are all the ones I can think of off the top of my head 😅 keep me posted!

Currently moving but yes please subscribe and when I set up the desk I will be posting all the gear!

Thank you

You can do it!

No i didn’t get my certificate but I have people on my team who only have their BSN so it’s really just a toss up haha but the more things on your resume the better! Are you in the field?

@@DabidRobinson I'm on my last class in GCU. I cannot wait to get it done...these discussion boards and papers are on the verge to wipe all my brain cells lol. Glad you got your first informatics job. Your videos helped me feel like I wasnt alone :)

Omg I do not miss paper writing or discussion posts haha. Your so close, how exciting!

You like?

I definitely will! Good idea, please subscribe and keep an eye out

Do you work in a hospital? Finding a preceptor can definitely be a struggle

I’ve met one person who was a medical assistant and got into the field… I’m not sure how their compensation worked but I know there wasn’t many opportunities for advancement.

A masters is not necessary, I have worked with many nurses who have a BSN. There is a certification in health informatics.

I spoke with my informatics team and they told me that if they could go back they would do healthcare informatics as it opens more opportunities. But my college also doesn’t offer just nursing informatics but they do offer healthcare management and informatics masters which I’m hopeful is a good choice and my anxiety has gone down as all the people I spoke to say that it will as it’s kinda 2 degrees in 1.

@@Luckylopez12 Same, I've been wanting to get my masters degree but I'm waiting because I don't want to make the wrong decision. I've been told my other remote nurses that any general MSN (as long as its a Nursing masters) can help open up more opportunities and possibly increase pay. They mentioned that many job criteria require a nursing masters degree. So i"m stuck. Hopefully David can see this!

Even though they all say that they want years of experience, I still applied lol. Don't let that hold you back from putting in your resume and giving it a shot.

I agree I applied with no experience and no BSN I was a new grad ADN only 1yr experience and 4 year LPN experience i was hired and they taught me from bottom up! I started off at 85k as well the position I applied for was Sr clinical quality consultant through WELLMED insurance companies may be an easier route to try since they usually always need people. You can try to type in quality RN or Informatics nurse never let experience discourage you if it is meant for you it will be yours! I am now doing my BSN then going into my MSN for an informatics masters program I’m starting from the bottom it will be worth it

Im learning that education in this role, is just your entry. If you were in an informatics role already and hoy higher education, I don’t see there being a pay increase. If you were in an informatics role with ab MSN then applied for a higher level position in informatics using your degree , then I could see you getting a pay increase. Hope that makes sense.

Work-life balance, no shift work, no poop. Sign me up

Lmao do you even know how much $80-85k is ?

Sheesh all that school and debt for a measily 80-85k I don’t want it nomo.

@@tylerxx26 you can get bedside pay doing work as a transplant coordinator, MCS coordinator, case manager, or clinic nurse for a large healthcare system.

Lol

Yay!!! You got this!!!

How is that program going for you Justin??

I honestly do not know the answer to this but it could be possible but it’s not common and generally you need at least a BSN.

As far as I know, government jobs pay less than any contracting jobs. If you want job security then go for government jobs. If you want to make more money then contracting job is the way to go.

@@rashamadani9927 what about retirement and benefits health insurance etc

Yay congrats! The thing is, is that you do not need a masters. I think your on the right track! Don't get discouraged if you don't get the first position you apply to either because it can be competitive, hang in there! Also let me know if you get an interview!

@@DabidRobinson i will let u know! :) i first applied in the system where im working now there’s a job posting. Is it harder for me to land a position because I don’t have the masters?

Anything will help but I don't think not having a masters will hold you back. When I got hired in my role, two other girls also go hired and out of the three, I am the only one with a masters. So don't let that hold you back from applying. I hope you get it!

@@DabidRobinson i really hope so too. I am getting really burn out already with bedside. Last night I work one patient hit my arm and the other one is cursing me 60miles per hour. Calling me a piece of sh*t and all those awful things. Lol. Bedside is really draining.

@@WifeNonGamerPlays hey, how did it go?

I guess what’s holding me back is I don’t want to part away from nursing but then again I do if that makes any sense? Overall the bedside I just don’t know how much longer I have in me for it so I need to decide.

@@Luckylopez12 You can always do both! you don't have to completely part ways with bedside nursing. For example I just starting out as a bedside nurse but I know once am done with my Nurse informatics Masters degree, that will be my main job but I will be working bedside as a parttime or PRN basically where I pick up the hours when I want. see that way it's a win win. plus with Nurse informatics, you can work from home if you want. Def can't go wrong with it. good luck

I have looked on indeed before, although I find it best to look up your local healthcare centers and check on their job listing page. Try searching analyst, informatics, nursing informatics, health informatics, sometimes clinical support too.

Yes because they are remote but there are occasional in person meetings.

@nursedavid seems like we may be doing the same job 😂

Same

Does your company have an informatics team? What I did was just reach out to a random person in my company that was in the position and started talking to him. If no one in your company does work in the field, then I would really lean on your school advisor for help on this.

@@DabidRobinson thank you for replying! My job luckily have informatics team!

Arizona

What is your recommended?

Hi! I answered your question in my new Q&A video! Go check it out! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNeBY9Oml7a8oIk.html

We need more transparency for sure

Your looking into nursing informatics? I’m not saying floor nurses don’t make good money, because they defiantly make good wages. I guess it just depends on what you want out of your job…

True

Yeah but super stressful, I wouldn’t

Exactly work smart not hard lol but informatics is stressful as well lol

@@amamuffin any job can be stressful. To be honest working in the ICU was more stressful imo. In anesthesia you get to focus on one patient at a time and have more control over your practice as a provider.
