Cerner does not provide any vendor certification.

Would you please give some idea, where and how can I get an epic citified?

My mother always said, "Nothing beats a failure but a try" If you don't ask, you won't ever know. I'm an LPN who answered an ad, where a company was looking for someone with an nursing background, and the desire to train. I got the job, and then we were bought about by a large organization, and they sent us for the certification. I have met nurses at Epic, who were working in different of a hospital that offered them a chance to be certified.

Hospitals from NY to Flordia, from Chicago to Minn, to Kansas, Tx, AZ to CA, OR and WA are looking for Epic Analyst, nurses with Epic Experience, and just plain support people to help out during an implemenation. I get calls and emails on a daily basis, from recruiters begging for referrals from someone I might know with Epic experience, offering up to $3ooo PER REFERRAL !!!

Ask!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck!

Looking for people "with Epic experience/certification" is the key phrase.
Start by applying to organizations beginning an Epic implementation. Only catch 22 is that they want you to already have the Epic experience.

I am a new nurse. I am interested in learning more about "epic analysts" and related jobs. It's interesting because before I became a nurse I switched my majors three times... Fine Artist (oil on canvas)---> computer graphic design artist--->business/sales--->RN. I have have accumulated soooo many wasted units, and it would really nice to be able to use them all toward something substantial. If anyone has any advice for me I'm open ears.

It sounds like perhaps you should spend some time as an RN prior to attempting to switch gears too quickly.

What I would suggest is what others have previously -- if there's an EHR at your hospital, see about becoming a Superuser and getting as much training and know-how about your system. Then you can see about switching to some type of IT/RN position if you are still interested.

By doing so, you'll ensure that you actually want to be in this field. You don't say that you accomplished degrees in those other majors, so a solid background in either IT or nursing would be a good start. Since you don't appear to have the IT background, then knowledge of the nursing/hospital workflow would be extremely helpful.

Right. Problem is, hospitals aren't hiring new nurses--at least out West. I'm about to jump ship to technology myself.

Hi Brownms46-

My organization is in contract negotiations with Epic right now. Plan is to attend Epic training in Feb. 2010. Do you have any advice for a first time Epic user? I am an ED RN. Last 3 years I have supported ED PulseCheck (Picis) in our ED.

Thanks
