I have a BSN and a MS in Computer Science. I currently have RN license in MA. I'm working at Quality department as a data analyst in a hospital. I am interest in nursing informatics, and like to take a nursing informatics certificate. Because I am a beginner in this field I am not sure how to start it. I found online courses (i.e., Indiana University has Nursing Informatics Professional Certificate Program. It includes 4 courses with the cost of $750/course.) I am not sure if the online certificate works. Do I have to certify by ANCC in Nursing Informatics after I get certificate/degree in nursing informatics? Is there a good certificate/degree program? Thanks.
