I’d like input!

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!)?

Nurse manager here - it all really boils down to what type of role you see yourself in. Every nursing position comes with a side of politics.. it’s up to you how you handle it. I personally like nursing leadership because I get to impact and lead a great group of individuals. I personally know that I’m functioning in my role to give them the type of leadership that I wish I had early in my career.

That I am, I’m seeking all kinds of advice I can get. I genuinely think I can be very happy going either way as long I’m making an impact and have a decent WLB.

I really enjoy coding and problem solving and would love to know more about the data structures and information systems behind it all.

I’m also at my core a lover of people and want to work with people often and want to lead, make important decisions, and advocate for what’s best.

I think both areas can lead too that, but I feel I’m trying to hit the middle of a Venn diagram that doesn’t exist lol
