You are correct there was no intent. But she bypassed several safety measures. 1. She overrode the med only put in two letters to search VE, grabbed the first she saw. 2. it was not in the "same form" as she was used to powder vs liquid. 3. ignored the big red warning it is a paralytic. 3. Ignored the very basis of med administration, the 5 Rights! gave a sedative and then just walked away? who does that? I believe there was more but that is just off the top of my head. She read the directions on how to re-constitute and didn't notice it was a different drug.

Working in informatics is not about training on the EMR, that is a very small portion. An informatics nurse will also perform workflows analysis and optimization. They are constantly working with upgrades, scheduled downtimes and the list goes on. I would do a job search on monster or some other job search. Good Luck, most want experience but education is good as well.
