I recently came across a post in the nursing informatics section of the nursing forum where a nurse made this comment –
“I really think this is a great field RIGHT NoW. My fear is what will happen to the informatic nurse once the big transition to EHR occur and everyone is trained. Of course there will still be a demand for them, but it will not be nearly as big. I am currently in school for informatics and graduate in 2014 but I am starting to get nervous…..
This is my first interview with a fellow nurse blogger, The Nerdy Nurse. Her blog is a mix of both personal and professional, from being a mom to working as a Informatics nurse. I love reading what nurses are doing around the web with their blogs , their businesses or just chatting about what they do at work and at play. The Nerdy Nurse is definitely one of those blogs that will entertain as well as educate you. So if you want the inside scoop on what nurses do than reading their blogs is a great way to find out.
The informatics nurse is someone who is involved in activities that focus on the methods and technologies of information for nurses, combining information science, computer science, and health care to create resources, devices, and methods required to optimize the securing, storage, retrieval and use of information in healthcare. This helps nurses to manage data effectively in the direct care of patients/clients.
