| Re: Are you currently working in an informatics role? No but I think that is a great upcoming field to get into. If you are looking to be a nurse who constantly works to improve the effeiciency of patient care and enjoys working with technology I would give nursing infromatics a try.  |

| Re: Are you currently working in an informatics role? I am not currently involved in informatics. I have been an RN for 20 yrs primarily in critical care and perioperative services. I am a bit of a "computer geek" and thought that informatics might be a good fit for me in the near future since the physical requirements of clinical nursing are becoming somewhat difficult for me. I have my BSN and have information on an MSN in informatics program that seems do-able. I have yet to see a "job posting" requiring Nursing Informatics within my own health system (one of the tristate's largest employers) which makes me wonder about actually working in the area &I would like to stay with them. I guess what I am wondering is this; *How marketable is this field? (in NYC and Long Island) -other than nursing the job market seems frightening! *What is the average starting salary? (again NYC & LI) can I expect my clinical experience to count towards $$? *And is the MSN really needed? Will my value as a nurse still be appreciated? Thanks for any help you can give me. emails greatly appreciated! |

| Re: Are you currently working in an informatics role? I have 3 years clinical experience as an LPN and have been an Application Support Analyst for our Ambulatory EMR for a year and a half. I have no formal IT training, but the last year and a half have been a huge learning experience for me.
