Has anyone done epic credentialing?

[Sully64]

We are about to switch to epic and I have an opportunity to be epic credentialed. It's an 8 month gig, 5 days a week and I love Informatics and hope to work in it someday. I currently work 3 twelves in a clinical job. I know I won't get my current job back ands it's an easy pleasant unit. This is my biggest concern. Leaving a good gig to further my career or stay in a comfy easy boring job.

Did you get a pay increase to do epic credentialing?

How was the job?

Did you continue in Informatics after?

Any regrets or advice?

Can't say much but I have a colleague that worked the floor for decades and now works in the informatics department. She just dropped to base pay as the differentials were no longer available. She still picks up shifts on the floor every now and then for extra pay and to see how the program is working for the floor nurses.

I don't think she has any regrets other than her office mate drives her crazy...like bad neighbor crazy. At least on the floor you could get up and go somewhere else!

Hopefully someone comes along and can give you better info!

Is someone paying for you to get EPIC credentialed? If so, I would grab it! I am an Informatics student right now and we use EPIC in our organization. There are FT teaching positions within my organization. I love EPIC and would love to know more about it. there is a possibility for me to possibly get EPIC certified through my organization. 2 semesters left, then time to figure out which direction to go. Good luck!!!!
