Can anyone give me advice as to which program to do? Should I go for an MSN with an emphasis in Nursing Informatics or go for a Masters in Healthcare Informatics? My ultimate goal is to work in Informatics and develop and implement different systems. Which program would be better when it comes to getting a job? Does anyone have experience while job seeking as to what employers are looking for more? MSN or Masters in Informatics? Thanks!

I've been a nurse for a few years now and am wanting a change. I'm interested in school nursing. However, I can not, for the life of me, find any resources, websites or job postings anywhere on the internet. I've looked under public school websites, monster.com, careerbuilder.com, any and all job posting websites. What am I doing wrong? I find it extremely hard to believe there's not one opening for a school nurse in the entire state of Colorado. Do you guys have any suggestions? What did you do to find your job?

It's nice to find someone else out there that feels the same way. I've hated nursing since before I graduated college. I've been a nurse for 2 years and have hated every job I've had (5 different jobs including ER, MED/SURG,PREOP/PACU,OFFICE NURSING, AND ORTHO. Hated every single one of them. And I've come to the conclusion that it's not the job but the career. It's gotten to the point that I dread going to bed at night knowing I have to get up in the morning and go to work. I've quickly gone from being sympathetic and compassionate to finding it hard to muster up even a remote piece of compassion when doing anything. It's not to say that I don't do my job. I do my job to my full potential but it's terrible to have that kind of attitude while doing it. Perhaps it's different elsewhere, but where I've worked, a majority of the patients have been demanding and completely unreasonable. And in the long lasting reputation of doctors, they continue to be disrespectful and condescending. Not to mention I get paid peanuts for doing what most people wouldn't. I'm desperately looking for a way out but feel my bachelor's degree and schooling will have gone to waste. I've tossed around the idea of going to grad school for an MSN but I continually tell myself, "What's the point? If you hate nursing so much, why get a master's degree in it?" Not really sure what else to do though? This career has given me a bad outlook on people and society and has made me into a person that I don't even recognize or like. I've considered teaching, counseling and even pharmaceutical rep (to stay within healthcare) but I'm not sure about the last one as you'll still be dealing with doctors and their God-like attitudes. When young people come to me and tell me their plans to become a nurse, I'm completely honest with them and tell them how it has been for me. And I don't want to be the reason they question whether or not to go into nursing. Chances are, they'll probably love it and be great at it and I'm contributing to them questioning whether or not they should do it in the first place. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm 24 years old and I feel like I'm letting myself and patients down by staying in this career that I despise so much? I'm almost to the point of being fed up with the entire healthcare industry.
