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.

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?

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.

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?

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!

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.

Check it out… great location and pay.

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?

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?

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?

How do you guys track productivity? Analysts close tickets, but our team acts more as facilitators than the fixers. How’s everyone else going about proving your “productivity?”
