Need help finding a hospital with a nursing informatics team

Published

Hi everyone! I am currently in Walden University for my MSN and in a couple of months I need to start the process of selecting a preceptor. Anyway, I need help in finding hospitals with a nursing informatics team. I called one hospital and they did not know what I was talking about. Should I have asked for the IT team or nurse educator instead? My hospital has a nursing informatics team but everyone was grandfathered in and are only BSN prepared. Any help will do. Thank you.

Let me know if you don't get any other responses.

Related to your preceptor and the site. Does it have to be in your city/area or can it be a virtual or distance experience?

If it has to be in your city/area, contact me via e-mail and let me know where geographically you are located?

What are the other requirements of your preceptor and site?

Hi Spring152,

Where are you located? I'm in Fresno, California and maybe able to help you. What is your e-mail address or send me a private message.

I will be finishing a RN to BSN program the end of February. How is the Walden MSN Informatics program for those who are enrolled? Would love to hear about your experiences.
