Career/job Options for MSN Informatics.

Published

Specializes in ED, Stroke, Trauma, Ortho, Supervisor.

Hey everyone, I just completed my MSN informatics, and I am looking for options to utilize this new-found passion! Ideally, I would love to work from home as much as possible related to my family needs. My nursing background includes acute-care hospital ER, Ortho, Stroke, Trauma, and 2 years of nursing management. Any ideas or guidance is appreciated, thank you!

I have finally just established 4 interviews (2 completed and 2 more this week). I have not received an offer yet, but I have had luck with utilization review, system analyst positions, risk management, performance and quality, or safety improvement career titles. Also some consideration has been shown from some education or care manager positions,  but not necessarily the area I want to be in. I have also learned big cuts and even some hiring freezes, along with the increased focus on staff nurses has hindered opening positions to this field and these positions related to lack of staff and increasing costs. That is the best update I have atm, and I am also having a very hard time finding opportunities in this division of Healthcare.

Interesting information, I have considered trying to get my foot in the door of the informatics/analyst world. Do you think the current pay cuts/hiring freezes in the field are concerning for the future of nursing informatics?
