Guess what? I had my meeting with the dr and a few other staff members this am. Went well. Apparently they all had pretty good opinions of me coming in. The doctor said she was excited that I had...

Thanks for the info. Finally have my meeting set up with the doc this week. After that meeting that day, the manager wants me to meet with one of the other coordinators (who was my preceptor as a...

From my understanding, I wouldn't be managing patients that are on the list, I would be in charge of the evaluation for transplant and placing on list. And of course, rotate on call for calling...

So I met with the program manager. I think I came off ok. I just suck at all those "how do you deal with conflicts with team members" and strengths and weakness questions. I always sound like an...

Sorry for the late reply.Yes, actually I just completed the initial hr phone interview today. He seemed pretty confident that the hiring manager would want to meet with me. If I do well with that,...

Thank you so much for the information! I went ahead and bit the bullet and applied for a pre transplant coordinator position that opened up at my hospital. Fingers crossed. :)

Hi! I was wondering how your interview went and if you found out any info. I also work in an ICU that takes care of transplant patients and noticed a pre transplant coordinator position open at my...

Currently work in a Fort Worth hospital (who unfortunately isn't hiring in their informatics dept). I'm a bedside nurse trying to break into informatics, but haven't seen/heard anything popping up...

Belizish - nah, I'm not on the west coast, would be nice for vacation right about now though. :) I was merely a Go Live superuser. Not sure what made me "super". Of course I am still considered a...

Thank you all for the information! I really wish an informatics opportunity would present itself; absolutely no guarantee that I would get it, but it would be nice. Right now I am really...

<raises hand>. I have some questions! I am currently a second career nurse that has been working in the ICU for almost 4 years. My ICU has a varied patient population, but we do take care of...

So, I got the opportunity to spend a day following a few informatics nurses at my facility and pick their brains. Granted, one single day does not not tell me everything. And there would be much...

Before I became a nurse I was a research assistant in an animal behavior lab. I used a variety of animal tracking/data collecting programs. I used excel 2000 ALOT, was quite the wiz with formatting...

Thanks for the info! :)

Sorry for the one paragraph. It keeps unformatting my paragraphs on the device I'm using.

Oh trust me, I have been lurking in this forum for sometime now :)My only experience is as an end user for our old program, Meditech (a pretty old version) and our new EHR, Allscripts' Eclipsys. ...

Hey everyone! I've looked in this forum for answers to this specific set of questions, but I didn't seem to find any. Forgive me if I'm repeating. I am an ICU nurse who was a superuser during...

I love this thread and have read it many times. I was just wondering if anyone else can add/update "a day in the life" for this insightful thread. I am hoping at some point to shadow the informatics...

Thank everyone so much for the info! I am going to continue to learn as much about this field as I can. What would I do without allnurses.com? :). Hopefully I will be an effective Super User when...

Omg. LOL!

I will be a superuser for my unit when my facility finally enters the 21st century with an upgraded computer system in a few months. It will include most everything except the physician's portion...

kelischa - I'm glad things eventually worked out for you! :) I'll try to hold out as long as I can. Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks! My post was mostly about venting my frustration/sadness. BTW I live in Texas.

Was so close to entering the world of being a research nurse: Research position at my hospital (where I work in the ICU) with a patient population I knew and PI's that were docs I was familiar with. ...

Hey! I was wondering if anybody had anything to add to my original post from way back when. I have been working hard in the ICU but keeping an eye on research positions in my area. Amazingly, I...
