I have been debating since I graduated a little over a year ago what to go to graduate school for in Fall of 11'. After a lot of debate, endless searches on these forums, and talking to many of my nursing administrators I think I have decided to lean towards Nursing Informatics. I will have had over two years of Med/Surg nursing including floating for a year and over a year of ICU step-down under my belt. I have been working with the Meditech system since graduating but I know there is a vast amount of information to learn regarding other systems. I have grown up using computers and even building computers from scratch so I feel I have a grasp on the background of computer knowledge. My questions is regarding what actual degree to seek a Masters in, whether it go straight for Nursing Informatics or to possibly get a Masters as a Nursing educator first? Also it's not every day you see job postings for NI jobs? Is it something that you find more readily as an internship for schooling or something related to that? Any information would be greatly appreciated as I have to start thinking of where to apply for Fall 11'.

Hey everyone I have been reading up on these forums quite a bit lately and finally decided to make my first post. I will be graduating from a BSN program in May 09' and am really looking forward to and excited about moving to the Charleston area. I was looking for any information regarding who to contact in the area about finding a job for a new grad.? I live in Ohio now and am nervous about moving down to the area before I knew of a job that I could secure. Any helpful information would be wonderful.
