At my system a MSN doesn't get you much more than a BSN. I'm in Milwaukee wi. It really depends on location too... at our place entry level NI with no IT experience but RN clinical experience is starting at about 60ish. Then goes up from there.

Yeah for sure! Which hotel do you stay at?

Is for sure say get some hands on nursing bedside care experience. We require at least 2 -5years of nursing experience for nurses and a BSN or MSN (I'm sure your masters would be fine). The reason they want bedside experience is because they NIs are the ones who understand the workflow because we did it... I hope that makes sense. You might be able to find work as a system analyst without any nursing experience but the pay range is different also since it's more of an IT role. If you work at a hospital system try to get some bedside experience and become a superuser that will help too. If you are working as a nurse at a hospital system once you have experinace you can apply for a informatics position within the hospital system. You'll have a leg up on others because you'd know the workflows and issues :)

What they said! :)

Yay!!! I'll be there feb 14-17 for ASAP cert! Glad you had a blast

I shared my positions at my job I've been with my hospital system for 10 years but I don't post anything else about work.

I'm thinking she means like the green clean cap?

I didn't have any experience in informatics prior to accepting my position and I had a BSN which for my area is the minimum requirement.

Entry level for NIS- associate is between 62-65. Depending Experience this is Wisconsin

No clinical experience? Are you an RN? You might be able to try to get in as an analyst

Sure.

Good luck! Make sure to go down the slide in the heaven building :) totally walk around and explore as much as you can!!! The food is awesome too. The coffee is the best around :)

Different areas... my area doesn't requrie them. They require a BSN and RN experience

Before jumping into a DNP program work as an RN for awhile. Most informatics positions want at least 2-5 years working experience prior to moving into that role. A MSN and DNP doesn't mean squat sadly it's not required for the most part only a BSN is. I'm a informatics nurse with multiple epic certifications and have my BSN I had 5 -almost 6 years of bedside care including ER and Oncology infusion that experience is what got me into the role because they need nurses who understand workflows. Id suggest becoming a super user for your floor or whatever they have there - also if they have a shared governance for documentation and technology join that. Your welcome to measage me me if you want to talk more about informatics

You know you don't need a MSN for most informatics positions? Id say get into that field first you might hate it... then go to get your MSN, board cert informatics nurse has a bigger impact but you can't get that unless your working in that role.
