Advice to Nursing Informatics Aspirants?

Are you aware of any such mentoring programs?

Would it be wiser to test the waters, and see if I am cut out for nursing informatics before I pursue further studies in the field?

The job-market being as it is now, I understand why recruiters consider it better to hire nurses experienced in a field, as opposed to nurses who are new to a certain field. However, how would a med-surg nurse gain marketable experience in nursing informatics without being employed in the that field first?

Even after a certificate program, a graduate degree, or a post-master's certificate, an RN will remain a new-graduate with regard to informatics unless someone offers the RN his/her first informatics job, right?

Remember the IT boom? Soon after that, the field was saturated, and new IT graduates had trouble finding employment. I understand nursing informatics is a relatively new field, and if health care is moving towards computerization, this field will gain impetus. Does it ever feel like this area is also pretty much saturated now? It doesn't seem like there are too many Nursing Informatics job postings out there. Or am I looking in all the wrong places?
