Thank you all for the congratulatory posts. I'm just finishing my third week in the department, and I love it. Next week starts my on-site certification at Epic. I've learned so much in these first three weeks, but I haven't really felt as though I was contributing. My coworkers say that that will change dramatically after certification.

Thanks again for the posts. I'll keep you posted!

Thanks for sharing your experiences with the forum.

Even with experience in the field, when I learned a new application/system, it was maybe 6 months or so, until I felt I was really on my own, contributing to the group. There is no need to torture yourself thinking you're not contributing enough. The more you play in the system, the more of an expert you become, and you'll find out that there is always something new to learn, as new updates come out, etc. Is like being a nurse. You come out of school with the skills to be on a floor, but really, it takes a few months to really get comfortable doing what you're doing. Yet, you're always contributing to the job from day one, even if you're not an expert yet. Enjoy the ride. :)
