Am I headed in the right direction??

Prior to nursing, I worked in software support. I've been a nurse for 5 years now... just under 2 years at the bedside, trained outpatient providers on an EHR system for about 1.5 years, 1 year in Pharmacovigilance, and now I'm in quality improvement. I kind of stepped aside from nursing informatics (NI), but I have an interview this week with an EHR company for their Implementation team. They don't have any other nurses working for them. Am I making the right move by joining a company as the only nurse?? Just curious what others thought.

    Yes, you could even command a higher salary because of your clinical knowledge and past expertise. Not sure why would it even be a wrong move. Best of luck!

    I did the same. I was the first RN hired by a tech company as an analyst/consultant/SME. It was invigorating work. I traveled the nation and was given amazing opportunities. I stayed on the vendor side for several years and learned a lot. It also built my resume and I became more well-rounded; leveraging experience I could not have gotten elsewhere.

    You may decide to build a career with them or simply use it as a stepping stone. Obviously, too soon to tell.

    As for me, I eventually returned to bedside nursing and am now enrolled in grad school to complete a master's in healthcare informatics. The sky is the limit in this field.
