It all depends on what geographic location you are looking in, what or if you have any previous informatics experience, whether or not you are willing to take an entry level position, what and how much past clinical experience you have. There is not just one answer to your questions. Please use this forum to learn what other's have shared.

Hello Ms. Angela,

It is wonderful to read your comment about nursing informatics . I am a fresh BSN graduate and interested to pursue my masters in Nursing Informatics online. I am wondering how tough is the program and how difficult to find job for new graduate in nursing informatics.

Thank you!!!!!!!
