How did an MS in Informatics help your career?

[MachoNurse, BSN, RN]

When I first came across informatics a few years ago, I got really excited. I had left the floor and was working in Quality and thought these two skills (along with a previous career as a hardware engineer) would make Informatics a perfect fit for me. After many conversations with people working in the field, I found that just about *everyone* started as a Super User while working on the floor as an RN. Since this is not an option for me, I thought an MS in Informatics would do the trick, but, after speaking with admissions at some schools, I'm not sure.

Please share your experience, strength, and hope around this topic!

Thanks,

Rob
