We are pleased to announce the newest release of our survey of Nursing

This is the 5th revision of our survey (completed August 2006), and is
available at Informatics Degree Programs Summary. This is part of the
most utilized and most comprehensive survey of academic informatics programs in the US. Earlier versions of the survey results and the methodology have been published in the Journal of the American Society of Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T), Feb 2005, (
Wiley InterScience :: Session Cookies.

This site generally receives many thousands of visits each year,
particularly by students looking for graduate programs in informatics. We
strive to incorporate all relevant information, and to accurately represent
it. We would appreciate your review of these most recent survey results,
and would welcome any feedback or suggestions you may have for us. Please

I can't help but wonder if one was interested in the health informatics certificate program what the benefit would be taking a nine hour program over a 17 or 20 hour program. I would presume that the nine hour course would be more of a refresher and the 17 hour course would provide more intensive training for those new to informatics. Follow up to this would be appreciated.

Hi Mijourney,

I'm sure the "benefit" would depend on the course content within the particular certificate program and what your goals and objectives are for enrolling in a certificate program.
I'd suggest you review the Program's course content. I'd also hazard a guess that benefits obtained might also correlate to the increased depth of content and complexity in a 20 hour program as apposed to a 9 hour program. Happy New Year and Hope that Helps!

Hi,

How do I get start as a Nurse Health Informatics? Do I need some nursing (clinical) experiences first? What is your opinion on this? Can one jump right into this field (nurse informatics) without any clinical experience? Thank you in advance for your time.

What is it in "Nursing Informatics" that you want to do? Do you want to implement systems, work as an analyst building systems or trainer user to use systems? These are just a few of the potential responsibilities of an Informatics Nurse. I'd suggest you investigate and learn more about the specialty. Read about NI, join your local NI organization, attend a WINI.......... and or pick the brain of an experienced NI professional. See if there are any projects preparing for an implementation, testing, training, etc at your current organization that you can volunteer to be a super user in.
There is a great deal of valuable advise and information posted on this forum about the specialty of Nursing Informatics and HIT - please feel free to utilize this valuable resource.
GOOD LUCK!
