Specialty in "Health Care Systems"?

[nurstudnt546, BSN, RN]

Hi everyone,

I'm anxiously awaiting the start of Fall semester (next week on Monday for me!) and in the mean time I am nonproductively relieving my boredom and anticipation by surfing the net and contemplating my future education (while I could and should be getting a good head-start on readings). I wish there was a way to turn this off.

Anyhow, I'm in San Diego and am considering USD for it's accelerated RN to MSN program in which there are a few specialties to choose from: Adult Nurse Practitioner, Adult Clinical Specialist, Family Nurse Practitioner, Pediatric NP, and Health Care Systems.

I'm pretty familiar with the CNS and NP specialties but am clueless as to what one would do with a MSN in Health Care Systems.

Can anyone educate me on this?

Thanks!:)

Sounds like healthcare-related computer programs and systems--also called Informatics. There is a nursing specialty forum on this BB for that.

But if you want to know for sure if that is what your school is talking about, give them a call.

Thanks for the info sjoe. I'll head on over to that section of the BB to get more details.

Have a nice day! :)
