I guess what I really wanted to know is what kind of data will I be working with? How a nurse data specialists day goes.. What kind of challenges there are? And what they like or dislike about their job?

I found a nursing position dealing more with data collection and abstraction.. I currently work on a cardiac floor but am interested in informatics field. Please describe to me what exactly a nurse data specialist would do. A little description of the job posting I found. Position Summary: Completes chart reviews for highly complex clinical issues. Ensures the accurate and timely transmission of data to a selected vendor to fulfill the TJC/CMS Core measures and other Quality Clinical Metric requirements for Rochester General Health System. Develops systems and processes that will enhance the abstraction and transmission of data as required. Keeps the appropriate administrative and medical staff leaders apprised of the status of the Core measures and other programs. Is involved in both the concurrent review and post discharge abstraction of quality clinical metrics.

I am a nurse that has been working on a cardiac floor and I am interested in becoming a cardiac device nurse. I am interested in knowing what steps I need to take to become a cardiac device nurse. I am interested in becoming a pacemaker interrogator to be more specific. If there is anyone who is a cardiac device nurse or knows someone who is, please help me out! Thanks!
