Some of the nursing degree programs offer an introductory course in nursing informatics, if you haven't already taken this course you might want to consider trying it, they are offered online through various universities. The Canadian Nursing Informatics Association offers links to other websites related to nursing and health informatics in Canada, the USA and Internationally

Also if you want to read nursing informatics articles there is an online nursing informatics journal http://www.ojni.org/
