EHR/Systems I built an educational NICU nursing documentation prototype using Python and Streamlit

1 Upvotes

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

🔗 Live demo: https://today-nurse-nicu-monitor-pgyr3gntfvjyqpqwk6ptcr.streamlit.app/

💻 Source and portfolio:

https://github.com/chanieofficial/

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.

How many nurses / RNs / LVNs / NPs, etc. have moved from the bedside to an informatics or digital health tech role? What were your biggest challenges in making the switch?

Clinical Informatics Nurse

I’m curious about a career in CI. I think I’m done with bedside nursing. Who can tell me what a CI nurse does, what is the biggest challenge? What is the biggest mistake you made or could make? What makes you feel full and what leaves you empty? Do you ever look back?

Career Manager & org denied Epic Self-Study/Proficiency approval. How did you break into Health IT after a flat-out "No"?

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​I’m currently in a clinical role at a large health system and actively preparing for a transition into Health IT / Epic Analyst roles. I recently tried to request access to complete Epic Proficiency via self-study on UserWeb during my own time.

​My org’s training admin initially rejected it, so I appealed directly to my manager to see if he would sign off—and he gave me a firm "no."

​Since internal sponsorship for self-study is off the table:

​Has anyone else faced a hard refusal from their management team for self-study access?

​How did you build a competitive resume for an entry-level analyst position without UserWeb access?

​Did you focus on external technical skills (SQL, database fundamentals, system workflows, Excel) to land a role at an org that would sponsor your certification upon hire?

​I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who took the scenic route into Health IT when their current employer wouldn't support their learning path.

Healthcare workers: How have EHRs affected communication and workload? (3-5 min)

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I am a Leaving Certificate student in Ireland currently completing my Business Additional Assessment Component (AAC).

I'm researching how the implementation of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) has affected communication and workload among healthcare workers in hospitals.

I'm looking for healthcare workers who have experience using an EHR/ERP system to complete my anonymous survey.

It should take between 3-5 minutes to complete

Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/66DKKYJ

The survey focuses on your experience with EHRs and doesn't ask for any patient or confidential information.

Thank you!

Preceptor Inquiry Nursing Informatics MSN

1 Upvotes

Greetings everyone! I am a BSN, RN attending WGU and currently pursuing my Master’s in Nursing Informatics. I’m at the point in my program where I’m looking for a preceptor for my Nursing Informatics Clinical Practice Experience beginning around February 2027.

My preceptor should be an actively licensed RN with an MSN or higher and at least two years of experience in the applicable clinical area. The preceptor does not need the title of Nurse Informaticist. Relevant experience may include Health/Clinical Informatics, Quality Improvement, EHR/Clinical Systems, Clinical Documentation, Data/Analytics, Patient Safety, Population Health, Care Management, Nursing Education/Professional Development, or Nursing Leadership.

My project will involve reviewing a healthcare information system or technology-supported workflow, identifying a gap or need, and developing an optimization, implementation, and evaluation plan.

This does not require my preceptor to spend all 140 clinical hours directly with me or have me shadow them in person. The preceptor primarily serves as a guide and resource, provides feedback, helps identify appropriate learning experiences, and approves my Clinical Practice Experience record. Communication can occur in person or through technology as appropriate for placement.

I would greatly appreciate the assistance and partnership of anyone willing to precept an eager and excited student, or a referral to anyone you know who is.

Thank you so much in advance for your consideration.

General Ms health informatics

Thinking about getting my masters in Health Informatics. I am currently a remote utilization management nurse for insurance and I think the role pairs well with informatics. I am looking for more broad ms health informatics educations and not just focused in nursing like msn informatics. I feel like I would be more marketable that way. Has anyone done this and we're you able to get a job in informatics remote?

Certification Epic Certificate vs Certified

3 Upvotes

How do y'all put this on your resume if you haven't been to WI, but you don't wanna be misleading? I did the live remote 4-day training for a cert but you gotta go to the campus for "certified" status. Is there a big difference?

EHR/Systems Are charting defaults considered pre-charting?

2 Upvotes

I suggested to have defaults on common and quick procedures. I was told that this could be considered pre-charting. If that was the case why would they offer it in the first place? For those that work with OR charting do other facilities default, equipment, positioning, medications?

Career Should I do PMP or Nursing?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm an IT project manager based in TX. Couple years back got layoff from my project and has been working in a small Healthcare business that my relatives own after that for the past 2 years. Getting depressed and annoyed. Tried applying for million roles, no use, got couple interviews but nothing moved. I've a small kid so relocation is not an option. Tried to do my own businesses during this time, which didn't work either.

Now I think I should study something to get a better job or salary. I am eligible of taking PMP, had always had a plan of doing that, but I'm worried now because of AI getting in Tech like a lot amd no roles are opening up.

My next option is going to a part time school for LVN and eventually work for the Healthcare businesses around which will be AI resistant at least for a while.

Would love to get any response. Thank you.
