Bedsides informatics, there are so many other things nurses can do that are 100% less stressful, there are pros and cons but mental health is higher than any con

I plan on sharing more and want to because there are just so many topics that people avoid. Thanks got watching and supporting the page 🥰

There are just so many different routes you can go in nursing, that’s one of the nice things. I even did clinicals for a while and it paid decently and was fun. So just stay optimistic!

Happy you liked it!

Thanks for the support, and your not wrong. When I was looking into this field I found very little information.

That's true. Very few videos on nursing informatics!

Thanks for the support 🥰🥰

Glad it was helpful!

You can do it!

Hey Giesa, how is that informatics program at Phoenix? Do you feel like they supported you in all your classes?

Yes I do need to make one next! Turn your notifications so you know when it goes live.

Having some experience in the field, will really help. Getting your first position can be quite competitive, so I would recommend maybe even a year. BUT, you really only need a BSN, so it is possible. Keep me updated on your journey! I’m interested to hear

I'm introverted and shy as well. I promise that mask become easier to put on for work lol. At first, I was literally sweating just interacting with so many people at once. Now, I walk in a room all smiles and know how to act interested .

Currently have BSN

If your goal is informatics in the end, you could go with an MSN in that, because you can also be in a leader role with that. If you are wanting to be a leader of something else some day, then you could go for leadership. I guess it depends on the long term goal.

@@DabidRobinson Thank you so much David! I appreciate the advice. 😊

Here you go! I made a video about every class in the program and what you can expect! kzfaq.info/sun/PLCbZtVBNgiJw32wIY_cf1ZQa95qd4MvLd

Yes it is! Make sure you subscribe for more tips and follow my TikTok @NursingInformatics

Yes it is, because you need to know how the changes you make impact those working on the front lines.

Grand Canyon University, I also made videos on each class in the course if you are interested

Omg I barely recognize did you loose a lot of weight ?

Yes I did!! Finally haha 😂😂🫠 it’s been going well too! Yeah I did loose quite a bit of weight lol, turns out my weight goes straight to my face 😂

Honestly, with your BSN you can start applying to jobs in informatics. Lets say you get a job in informatics with your BSN and do not like the work, well then, you didn't waste any time in school, but if you do like it, then you could go to school for your MSN while working in the field. They also might help pay for it!

It has it's pros and cons for sure. My new position is very flexible so I still get the time off I need but I do work 5 days a week. Although I do not get yelled at and my knees no longer ache lol. I just posted a video about the pros of working as a remote nurse!

Hope you find what makes your happy! Keep me posted!

I Guess that would be up to your organization. You might be on to different of a time zone? But I’m not sure

I have my MSN with an emphasis in health informatics

Hi David, I watched more of your videos and you actually answered a lot of the questions I had! I made my initial post too soon (Ohhh the shame). Thank you so much for posting these! I am in the last core class of my MSN, then onto the informatics based courses beginning in January. So, if I were going to change tracks now would be the time. After watching your videos and talking to some others in the field, I don't think I am going to change. Informatics seems like an awesome field to get into. I will keep watching your videos, but I do have a follow up question. I currently work in an outpatient GI clinic (I just got this job in the summer of this year because it is a part time position and allows me to do school and take care of my dog). This is actually my 4th nursing job I have had so far. I have absolutely no informatics experience other than working for the IT department for my undergraduate college. I know you mentioned that you can start working in nursing informatics with just your RN degree. Are there other ways to gain experience in the field such as councils or committees? Or ways to make you more hire-able to future informatics employers? Since I have had 4 nursing jobs already, I don't want to appear that I am changing jobs all the time. But I would really like to start getting experience. I hope that made sense. Again, thank you so much for these videos, they are giving me life!--Audrey

Happy you found this helpful! There is definitely quite a bit of videos on my page now haha 😅 not your RN but BSN, you can get a position in the field. The fact you’ll have your msn will make your resume much more appealing. Remember when you interview try to not only talking about your bedside experience but other I initiatives you have taken on your unit. If you have an informatics department at your current job I would just blindly email them and introduce yourself! That’s what I did haha

@@DabidRobinson thank you for responding! I have reached out to the Informatics department and I am trying to set up shadowing opportunities. I’m just about halfway through my program (would have 6 courses left). I am struggling with a gut feeling of confusion knowing if this is for me. For about a year I went to school for Graphic Design & decided to go back into nursing for practical reasons. I know informatics is a huge field, do you know if anyone takes on creative projects within it with their MSN-Informatics degree? Thanks again so much for your guidance ❤

The program I went through was for those who went the nursing route, meaning only people with their RN could go to MSN or BSN to MSN. I think there is a Health Informatics degree ( that does not have the MSN in it).

@@DabidRobinson Thank you, David. As you said that there are many health informatica program available for non nursing graduates. Could you please brief the difference between these two programs?

Why would he tell you ?? Do research

As in what type of schooling? I don’t understand

I am enjoying it, and I still find ways to embrace those small wins throughout the day. I am definitely still getting used to the pace though, that's for sure.
