Need Help Preparing for Interview/Presentation!

Hello!

I am new to the forum, and I think it is absolutely wonderful!

I have been a nurse for four years, a travel nurse for three. My background includes Critical Care/Step down. I am interested in Nursing Informatics! As a travel nurse I have become familiar with systems such as Cerner, Meditech, Mckesson, CPRS, etc. I just recently had a phone interview with one of the Healthcare Technology Information System companies that was an hour and a half long :uhoh3:! It went well:yeah:! I was invited for second round of interviews on the campus. The recruiter informed me that I will be interviewing with three individuals. Each interview will be approx 45 min long. I was also informed that I needed to give a 10 minute presentation on any topic.

I checked out the suggested NI/IT/IS interview question thread. It was helpful, thanks! However, I cant imagine what questions the interviewers might ask since each interview will be 45 min long. Any ideas?? I was wondering what could I do to separate me from the other applicants? Im also having trouble with presentation topics...Oh yea, the position is for a Clinical Nurse Strategist. Thanks! All the advice is appreciated!

    For a presentation I would search Google Scholar for articles on nurses perceptions of EHRs. I'm not an EHR person really but the sense from the stuff I read is that nurses in general think EHRs create more work for them and inhibit critical thinking. I think part of the problem is that the interfaces were designed for physicians and with physician input and little-to-no nursing input. Or the nursing input came way after the fact making it difficult to incorporate the necessary changes into the system. The EHR I use at my per diem job now has us documenting almost 95% of what we do in a free text field under procedures. The information is completely unusable, unsearchable. Let me not get started ;-)

    Anyway, I think that would make for an interesting presentation because it will really highlight what you as a nurse bring to the table (nursing knowledge), especially if you can offer so suggestions for improvement.
