    enzati replied to Allie33's topic in Nursing Career

  13. Anyone familiar with Epic?

    enzati replied to mappers's topic in Nursing Informatics

    We have EPIC where I work. The implementation was huge, and everyone associated worked long hours but was very valued. I think it would be a great opportunity. It is a very good program that has a TON...
