  2. how many jobs are out there?

    That's the advantage of online courses, most of the time you can do homework and classwork at your convenience. As long as you stay motivated and set a scheduled time for classwork, you should do fine. Good Luck!
  3. how many jobs are out there?

    Some courses were time consuming due to the required projects I had to complete . Others were time consuming due to frequent use of 'Blackboard' and other systems to maintain participation. Keep in mind 'online programs' are different from nursing...

  5. Well....just because I am biased and a new graduate, I would give kudos to Northern Kentucky University. They have both an MHI and an MSN-NI program. I graduated with my MHI. I had many classes to help prepare me and also had (2) capstone experie...

  7. School Rankings for Informatics

    I think it matters less where you get your degree, but just that you have it. It opens doors. However the experience is what everyone is seeking. I just graduated from Northern Kentucky University with my MHI (May 11, 2013) and I think they have a...

  11. Informatics degree or IT degree?

    I will soon have both. I have (2) A.S. degrees in Computer & Internet programming and in May, 2013 will graduate with my Masters in Health Informatics. With my IT degrees I learned about the technical side of things, which gave me a good founda...
  12. What's wrong with me?

    I had a very difficult time getting my big break into the informatics field, so I appreciate your concern. I went on 2nd and 3rd interviews without success. I have 2 A.S. degrees in Computer Programming & Internet Programming; my BSN; and worki...

    rninformatics, Thank you for the sharing the interview techniques. I have printed them out and will review them. I realize I SHOULD be interviewing them. However, when my stress and anxiety peak during these panel interviews, my only thoughts are ...
  16. Interview advice

    rninformatics, Thank you for listing both websites. I will look at them and see what I should alter. I do realize I should be interviewing the team regarding the position, but once the stress and anxiety escalates, I lose all perspective. I need to...
  17. Interview advice

    Dreamer-RN, Thank you for your suggestion. Preparing a list of my questions and then using that list to jot down notes sounds pretty brilliant. It provides me with a not so obvious crutch, at least until I can get over my anxiety.
  18. Interview advice

    ikarus7401, Thanks for sharing your insight with me. Because I have interviewed for different positions, I have received a wide variety of questions. Some interviews aren't worried about my technical abilities but are more focused on my skills and ...
  19. Interview advice

    ikarus7401, Thanks for your feedback and suggestions. I think a major problem with interviews is that the candidate does not get constructive feedback. I have only worked with a recruiter a couple of times and so I have received only minimal feedba...

  21. VA Telehealth Coordinator Position

    Sorry everyone! I didn't mean to get off track. I was just surprised by the level of detail the VA uses in their pre-employment background checks. However, I am still very excited about the opportunity! The VA sounds as if they are years ahead of t...
  22. VA Telehealth Coordinator Position

    I didn't mean to imply that I did anything bad, because I haven't. I was married when I was 18 and was only married 3 years. Too young!!!!!! I have been married 23 years to my current husband. My ex and I split amicably, but I still don't think it is...
  23. VA Telehealth Coordinator Position

    It makes me nervous about how much they will delve into my background. I read about the VA even checking with prior spouses. How far do they truly delve? While I agree to a background check, I do not agree to delving up all my past, just to get so...

    Well if they tear up my floorboards, maybe it will persuade my husband to redo the hardwood floors! LOL!
  25. VA Telehealth Coordinator Position
