I much like the OP first gained my BBA in Computer Information Management / Management from Northwood University. Next, I started working for Ascension Health on their Ambulatory EHR team, learning Allscripts as well as MDI Matrix for the skilled nursing facility. Then I went back to college for my ADN. I am going to be taking my boards on Aug. 12, but I am already sitting on the Nursing Informatics Council as a graduate nurse because of my background in EHRs, Meaningful Use, Project Management, and training. I am actually planning on going for my DNP in Nursing Informatics, but that is more so for bragging rights. I could honestly teach many of the classes just from my YEARS in teaching classrooms full of providers, midlevels, billers, coders, MA's, LPNs, RNs on Meaingful Use, MIPS, the HITECH Act and oh yeah... the EHR / EMR application. But become a super user and MAKE sure you post a LinkedIN profile. I am constantly getting headhunted for jobs on Allscripts Touchworks or Sunrise contracts. Also there is a free EHR called Practicefusion.com. You might want to play using that as sandbox to mess around in.

Hi all, I am in my waiting list to get into nursing clinicals,and I ran across this free paid state training that many community colleges are offering. There are 6 different types of exams you can take, but the one I took/passed was the HITPRO Implementation Manager exam. I am curious if any of you have heard of this and also feel it would be of help for a student that is wanting to eventually go into Nursing Informatics.

UK Nurses Will Not Take H1N1 Vaccine It is one thing to care about the patient. However, when the vaccine itself has not just things in it to stop the problem, such as levels of mercury that are 5x the amount that the FDA regulates is crazy.
