I have a MS in Biomedical Informatics, 24 years as an RN, an internship with school, years of experience as an end user with Meditech/Cerner/Epic, critical care & leadership experience and I have yet to make the transition from bedside to IT. The market is extremely tough right now.

Good to know! We just gotta keep on trying!

I wouldn't say a Masters Degree is necessary but it does help a great deal. I have a Master's in Health Informatics and Information Management and it has helped me as well as networking.

Capgemini has verbally promised me 9 LPA but the offer is yet to be released.

I am more inclined towards joining Deloitte India as it is a bigger position than Capgemini.

Am I on the right track?
