I am having trouble finding a full time RN job here in Dallas/FW Texas. Does anyone have any advice for a new grad? I do have 5 months of exp. working at a mental health hospital. I have applied to all kinds of postions and have only had a few call backs. I know that most hospitals are not hiring but does anyone know of a hospital in Dallas, Texas that is hiring? Thanks!

Based on your nursing expertise... is nursing informatics a more stable career choice for the future over a family nurse practitioner... I am a little worried of the FNP due to possible health care changes as well as the proposed 2015 in which a DNP would be required for advanced nurse practice... I know that I am still very young in my RN career (2 months to be exact), but what speciality would you recommend overall? I really appreciate your help. Thanks! Jerry

Hi, You are correct. I am working at a psych hospital currently and am applying to other hospitals to gain some med/surg exp. as far as nursing informatics goes... i was originally interested in becoming an NP in acute or family care; however, i feel that the nursing informatics may be a much needed speciality in the future especially with more and more technology in healthcare. do you think that i am on the right track? thanks!

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have been working as an RN for 2 months now. If I were to enter a MSN informatics program that takes 2 years... would that be enough experience to transition to an Informatics position? Thanks againg. Jerry

Hi, does anyone have a good recommendation for an online nursing informatics masters program? thanks
