Hi all, I just have some questions about nursing informatics. I would appreciate whom ever will answer them. As for this point I have about a year left before I graduate high school. Nursing informatics has been a career that my parents and myself have been looking over in the medical field, however in the computer technology field. First question, what does it take to be qualified to advance in a field of nursing informatics. I have been told that you may need to be an RN first in order to study your BS into Nursing Informatics. Second question, what is the job mainly about? Is it all about research and development or setting up databases for the hospital records? Third question, a personal question to anyone who is currently undergoing the process of being one or already been one for an amount of years that if the job is well stable enough for general necessities and other stuff.
