  2. Yeah for sure! Which hotel do you stay at?
  3. Nursing Informatics

  14. Exasperated and in need of advise, Please

    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...
  15. Where did you get your MSN Clinical Informatics Degree?

    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.

  20. I was a CNA/ER tech for 5 years before becoming a nurse. We all paid our dues.... Best of luck in whatever field you decide....
  21. You are sadly mistaken but you should leave medical field it doesn't sound like a good fit for you. With that statement you haven't even tried! You just complain and with an attitude like that every job you get will be hard. Best of luck to you.
  22. So you don't plan on being in nursing for long. All you want to do is complain about your employer... Do you give suggestions for solutions? Or do you just complain? I'd say leave now you obviously aren't happy....
