I’m a nurse who had acquired a nursing informatic degree in 2022 and have been job hunting since then. I’ve been doing so many things just to get an interview (paid for a resume, aligned my resumes to the job I want with skills I have, gone to health tech events to network) but I’ve still turned up with nothing. I’ve gotten only one interview during my job search and I just want to know what is it that I’m doing wrong? Everyday I feel like giving up but I don’t know why I’m not being considered.

Hi There!
Just from observation, I’ve noticed that working in the healthcare field is not just about experience, it’s about networking. It’s so many talented and experienced healthcare workers. I feel that with dedication you can learn to do any task (the technology has advanced). It’s more than your work! I’ve seen things where a new hire was picked before someone who worked at a the company for 15 years. Patience is key! Its so many resources to where you can obtain more knowledge and master your skills. Just give it some time.

Keep applying! There is no clear way to get a job in Informatics. Use being an RN to your advantage. If there are clinical workflows that you perform using a certain software or vendor, capitalize on that. If your hospital offers training to get certified or learn software applications like CBT nuggets or become a super user for the new implementation of a process or system, be the first in line because those skills of being an operational user and knowing the workflow while building a new system will prove invaluable!

Interviewed for a sr. PM last Thursday. Was scheduled for 30min but we went to an hour and had a really good conversation. The questions I got asked I was told the answers were perfect by the hiring manager. I felt really good coming out of it but then followed up with an email thanking them for the time the next day and I never received a response or next steps. Am I thinking too much into it or is it not a good sign?

What titles do you hold at your different places of work?

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!)?

I would love some suggestions on transitioning and career paths.

I gave 15+ years in healthcare claims (payer side, physician/facility side) and revenue cycle management. I’m burnt out and want to transition away from revenue cycle mgmt.
