Well no and yes. No because my initial hope was to land a nursing informatics position being I was an RN. Yes because I was instead hired as an EPIC systems analyst/builder (was sent to Madison and got an EPIC ambulatory certification). My job now is to build/configure EPIC software to many ambulatory clinics/ physician's offices that are affiliated with a major hospital network. I rarely get to use my expertise as a clinical nurse as it is for the most part an IT role. I can't complain though as I consider it a major blessing. I can't tell you if my HIT Pro certification helped me land the position or not as there was 6 of us hired and I was the only one who was HITPro certified. However, my professor in the community college where i took the Clinician/Practitioner class was the one who informed me of the job opening so I owe her big for that.

Hello, I took and passed the Clinician/Practitioner HIT Pro exam last March. According to HIT Pro™ statistics, this exam is the hardest out of the 6 roles so I'm definitely happy I passed it. This website helped me. HIT Pro exam It provides you with a sample exam akin to what you will take on the actual test. Also go to this website: http://onc-ntdc.info/ Register and download the component pdfs related to this specific role. And obviously study the handouts provided to you during the course. Best of luck.
