Is there a shortage or glut of nurses in informatics?

[Mijourney]

I really don't know what or who to believe. I just heard an acquaintance say that there is a glut of IT workers (this includes the growing community of health IT workers), yet I thought I read somewhere that there will be a shortage of informatic nurses. Are the two related? Is the shortage related to the experienced informatic nurses? Knowing that there is a glut of informatics nurses may not stop me from pursuing a job in this area, but it will give me an idea of what I'm truly up against. Opinions and insights would be appreciated.

Where do we find "IT recruiters"? In the hospitals or out? I'm just not clear if you mean general IT recruiters or in the facilities themselves.

I understand that there are some IT healthcare companies that will hire you also to do training, etc. Now that sounds very interesting to me, coming from a 6-year IT background. I would love to work with users on systems.

There are an ambundance of IT recruiters out there, and you can just google for the application formate you are familiar with. Calll them or email them. Put your resume online using key words that pertain to the application you want to work with. Goggle "IT HEATHCARE RECRUITERS" and you will find numerous agencies for IT.

For nurses or healthcare/clinical google Clinical IT entry level. Use key words for what you are looking for and you find a wealth of information out there.
