I was a Medical assistant for 12 years. When I lived in Oregon, I trained physicians at hospital how to use EPIC. Another MA, was hired in IT to train new employees. She also was going for her RN like myself. But once she was hired she made more than RN’s do. That would be dream job, I’m great with computers and software and people. Oregon doesn’t require any certification. Here in California you do. So I’m interested in knowing how as well

It depends on which areas you are interested in. Maybe you can provide IT support the clinical specialists at hospitals.

I am currently a charge nurse and am in a “Pathway to Leadership Program” that will come with promotions into leadership/administration. I am concerned that going through the leadership ladder will lead to a lot of politics.

I am thinking of getting a masters of healthcare informatics, and would love input from people in both industries and any advice you have!

Would you continue into the nursing leadership ladder or go into health informatics (which also has leadership!)?
