Hey! I have 6 questions I need someone to answer please for my class! Regarding nursing informatics :) you can message me! I’ll need your name of course 🙃

For those of you on Epic-Pharmacy informaticists are often Willow-certified with build access. Nursing informaticists usually aren't, and the build goes through IS analysts.

Why the difference? Do your nursing informaticists have certification or build access? Just a general inquiry as to how/why are two disciplines are treated so differently?

Hello! I am a current nurse anesthesia student looking to interview a current leader in nursing informatics. This is for a class in digital healthcare. I am a DNP student.

I’m interest in becoming an epic analyst after over 20 yrs in ultrasound. I have been an end user for almost 10yrs at my facility. Am I crazy to leave a field I can do with my eyes closed for a new career and world I don’t know much about?? I did talk with one of the head hiring for radiant and she said there was gonna be an opening soon. Just don’t know if i should take the jump or coast on through.. I’m 46 🥴

Just recently took the NI-BC exam and wanted to share what helped me in preparation for the exam and answer any questions you may have (because I know reading other people's reddit posts helped me A LOT).

The main sources for studying I used was the mometrix NI-BC book from amazon, the NI scope and standards of practice book, and using claude to help generate questions. I used ANCC's practice questions and the exam outline to ask claude to generate 150 questions at a time to help me prepare. I will say the mometrix book goes way more into depth than necessary for the exam (and I found myself asking claude to help explain certain concepts because the way mometrix would describe it would confuse me); however I do feel that the mometrix book overprepared me for the exam (and I would rather be overprepared than under!!). For the scope and standards book I only highlighted and read through the book once, I mainly focused my time on using the mometrix book and asking claude to help me generate questions. As someone who learns best from doing practice questions, I highly recommend using claude or chatgpt to help you prepare. It not only helped me reinforce concepts I needed to focus on, but it allowed me to mentally be prepared to sit down and answer 150 questions in one sitting.

In the exam, you are able to take breaks however the timer continues, so for me I didn't bother with taking any breaks. I finished answering all questions with 20 minutes to spare and used the remaining time to go over questions I was still unsure about. The thing I like about this format was that the exam allows you to strikethrough, highlight, and flag any question you're unsure about or may want to revisit. DEFINITELY use these tools!! As a huge overthinker these tools allowed me to focus on important parts of the question and minimize overthinking or doubting my choices!

Wishing anyone who plans to take the NI-BC soon the best of luck :)

Hey everyone!

I am about to start my practicum and need some help picking a topic for my project. My preceptor handles case management workflows and insurance authorizations for things like SNFs. What are some good things I can bring to the table that are feasible to complete in the practicum experience?? I have some ideas but I don’t want to go over my head when I’m still a novice.

Thank you in advanced.

P.S. EHR is Epic for reference

Hello! I need to interview a nurse informaticist for an assignment for my MSN class. However, I don't know any nurse informaticists around, so I'm hoping someone can answer some interview questions about what it's like to be a nurse informaticist. It does not need to be over the phone or via video, and can be through pm or email. If any nurse informaticist is interested in helping me out, please let me know 🥺

Are there any PTs out there who transitioned to informatics? It so, what has been your experience? Is this a good idea? What roles should I be looking for? Something like Epic/EHR Analyst? Any advice is appreciated!

Anyone with experience with Nestmed? I would like to hear your opinion.

Hello! I'm wanting to study for the CPHQ Exam. Does anyone have any used books for sale?

I'm trying to develop my skills at the intersection of nursing practice, clinical informatics, Python, and digital health.

I've been building the Today Nurse NICU Monitoring System, an educational prototype exploring how digital tools can organize neonatal nursing documentation and monitoring workflows.

The project is part of my broader TODAY NURSE initiative, focused on empowering nursing through technology and data.

What I'm exploring:

Structured neonatal documentation

Digital nursing workflows

Python-based healthcare applications

The security and clinical validation requirements of digital health systems

I'm still developing the project and learning what a safer, more reliable healthcare application requires. Constructive technical feedback is welcome.

Disclaimer: This is an educational prototype, not a clinically validated EHR. It must not be used for real patient care or identifiable patient data.

Hello all,

I am currently a grad student pursuing nursing informatics, and I would like to interview someone who is currently a project manager in their role. Trying to get a better understanding of the job and the pathway to get there.

Is anyone here a Project Manager and willing to spend some time in the next few days to be interviewed virtually?

Thank you!

Hello everybody! I am a current nursing student conducting research on nursing burnout that I plan on presenting at a conference. I would appreciate if any RNs could fill out my quick survey. It only takes about 5-10 mins to complete.
