Help! I HATE my current job. I need to switch jobs soon!

I am an Associates Degree prepared RN (May 2008), expecting to graduate with a Bachelors Degree in Nursing in May 2010, with clinical experience on a Med-Surg + Geriatric floor at a local community hospital since June 2008

I love working with computers, and I am considering further studies in Nursing Informatics or Neonatal Nursing.

The nursery was the best part of my rotation. I LOVE babies!

I need to switch jobs soon! I am suffocating at my current job.

Is there anything neonatal nurses or informatics nurses may see fit to share with me, and others like me?

Recruiters want you for the area you're already working in - in my case med-surg. So, what if I want to switch to neonatology or informatics? Is it really that tough to train a med-surg nurse in another area?

You're on the right track! Federal stimulus $ is creating dramatic growth in Informatics as providers seek to meet the ARRA outcomes - & qualify for the big bucks. My oldest child has a Master's degree in Biomedical Informatics, so I am somewhat familiar with educational requirements and opportunities in this area.

Check out the AMIA site https://www.amia.org/. It has links to educational pathways. You may want to opt for certification rather than a graduate degree at this point.

Good Luck! Keep us updated on your progress.
