How do I get into IT/tech/consulting healthcare space? I have years of inpatient nursing, and years of discharge planning/utilization management. Pay is reasonable, but the job isn’t stimulating or as flexible as I would like. I really want a challenging role with higher income potential, but still has some flex for hybrid/remote/family. I don’t mind working harder/longer for some of that pay/mental stimulation. I’ve been applying on and off for years, but can’t get my foot in the door.

What's your network like? Have you mined your LinkedIn for connections? If you're qualified but not getting your foot in the door, you probably need a personal recommendation/referral.

No one that I personally know that is a nurse is in that realm. Everyone is still bedside or in my current role of UM/Case Management. I’ve tried to exhaust LinkedIn contacts, but to no avail. I’ve looked at even entry level roles in companies to get my foot in the door, but I can’t take a huge pay cut at this point in life.

Everyone seems to start somewhere or gets someone to take a chance on them.l eventually. Just waiting for my chance.

I would also love to know ...

Get a degree that will complement your skills as a nurse.

Try to get your foot in the door in clinical break informatics.

Comforting others:

Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok.

Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
