how to transition from bedside nursing to a nursing informatics role

Greetings everyone! I have been a PCU nurse for 5 years now and I am going to start taking credits for a masteral degree in Nursing informatics this fall of 2008(I have a BSN). I have no computer or IT background but knows basic computer skills. The current hospital I work in already transitioned from paper based to CPOE and EMAR. I am planning on switching from bedside nursing to a Nursing [COLOR=green! important][FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=green! important][FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]informatics[/font][/font][/color][/color] role just to have a general idea on how NI works. What job titles should I look for? Are there on the job training/ entry level jobs for this role? Any input will be greatly appreciated.
