Hello, Ive been eyeing for a long time to practice informatics. The thing is, I'm scared to make a risk. right now, I'm working as a claims specialist under a US health insurance here in the Philippines. I also saw that one of the Top Schools here in Phil offered Master in Informatics the problem was I can't afford it. And another organization which was National Telehealth Service Program was recruiting a Research Assistant, eHealth nurse Must be a registered nurse with an IT background Must have good communication and project management skills Have research experience during his or her graduate and undergraduate years Must be abreast with the trends in national and global health care system Being an honor student is a distinct advantage The eHealth nurse will be involved with eRecords, eLearning, and eMedicine projects of the center and will be part of the National Telehealth Service Program Can this be use as a stepping stone as a Nurse Informaticist?

Hi! I'm a registered nurse already here in the Philippines and I'm one of those nurses that are still looking for an opportunity to work. I've searched a lot about other alternative careers in nursing and one that interest me is being a Telemetry Nurse. I've searched everything in the net but hadn't found any accredited learning opportunities here in our country. I'm asking for everyone's idea not just here in the Philippines but also in other countries how will I become a Telemetry Nurse. If there's none here do I need to enroll in an online school in the US in order to have a diploma or certificate for it. Of course, I'm looking for a training or course that is also accredited to other countries particularly in the US because I want to pursue my Telemetry Nurse abroad if given by chance. I saw this procedure but I think it cannot be applied here in my country. Choose your registered nurse (RN) educational program. There are three educational paths that lead to becoming an RN: a bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN), and associate's degree (ADN) or a licentiate. The BSN takes about four years to complete, and is offered through colleges and universities. The ADN will take between two and three years to complete, and is offered at community colleges. The license program (originally developed for those already in another medical field) is offered at many hospitals and takes about three years to complete. Although the BSN is preferred by most employers, all three paths will qualify you for entry-level positions. Learn all you can about the telemetry field during your educational program by studying books and journals on the subject. Inform your instructors of your interest in the telemetry nurse field, as they can assign you to a progressive care or telemetry environment where you can shadow a telemetry nurse, learn more about the field and gain some firsthand experience. Take and pass your licensure examination. All states require RNs to pass the national licensing examination, also known as the NCLEX-RN, to become a licensed RN. You can obtain more information about the examination at the National Nurses Association website (see Resources). Gain professional experience in a progressive care environment to fulfill experience requirement for the PCCN (Progressive Care Certified Nurse) certification. To qualify for the PCCN examination, you must practice as an RN for 1,750 hours (875 hours must be within a year of taking the exam) in a qualifying progressive care unit (telemetry unit, direct observation unit, intermediate care unit, step-down unit, emergency unit or transitional care unit). Take and pass your PCCN certification examination. The examination consists of 125 questions (100 of which are scored), and you will be given two and a half hours to complete it. You can find detailed information on the certification by downloading the Certification Exam Handbook from the AACN website (see Resources). I really want to have the PCCN diploma but I don't know how and with regard to the hours that are required in order to take the exam, I don't know how will I able to have it if I don't have work. Anyone would lighten this up is definitely appreciated. Thank you!

I was asked to make a research about the Culture, Ethnicity, and Religion that affect their communication, space, time, biological values, environmental control and social organization. And that was a had job. I just want to ask on how will I outline my project. Because when I search in the net, there's a lot of information and I don't know how to put them in one. And also if some of the people here already have a research about it could you help me where I could get some more information about it. Maybe a website? or a book? Please help me.

My professor ask us to give at least three nursing research topic we actually gave 1. Coping mechanism for students in their duty 2. Obstruction in learning for nursing student in our University 3. Most common prevalent medical errors in the hospital but my prof just accepted the number 2 because two remaining 2 topics (1&3) are too hard to accomplished for she just gave us two months to finish the research. So I'm asking if someone here could give me topic that we could finish in 2 months and we can also find some related articles on it. As much as possible it is related to nursing. A good topic and easy to handle. Please help me. I'm actually the leader of our group. Rain
