Thanks for the info. My BSN is from University of Phoenix and I have had no issue whatsoever with getting positions because of it. Interestingly I have a management position interview coming up this week and all I am bringing is some awesome experience and my BSN, they sound very interested because of the amount of implementations I have pretty much done by myself in the past 2yrs.... Thanks for the insight I will look into these certifications.....

I agree with previous posters, but also think you need to keep in mind the resources need to keep systems current. Updates (while potentially frequent) are extremely time consuming and require manpower. I know our facility is severely lacking because we have one clinical IT to deal w ALL the various pieces of a large and complex system, plus one IT director to deal w financial applications and one other IT to do other software and hardware. Let's just say it's a challenge to keep things running much less up to date!

I have been working in the informatics field for 2yrs now and am considering either furthering my education (currently a BSN) or getting certification in the field. Which certification would be the most beneficial or would it be better to work towards my MSN? What would look the best on my resume?
