Yyyyaaaayyyy!!! The grand finale! Thanks for watching this series. Make sure you ask me questions or leave comments and I will get back to you as soon as I can. You all rock!
I have a question I am currently working as a COTA and I have a bachelors degree in biology and I’m looking to transition into healthcare informatics any advice?
Hi Jen! I really hope you see this but I’m considering a couple Masters programs and I was hoping if you’re not too busy for some help choosing one. I’ve been watching your videos and I strongly feel a masters in health informatics or MSNI is the way to go!
The first part of your video made me smile so hard.....I'm in NI school now, feeling a little down, but your video cheered me right up. Thanks for the video and info. P.S. your locs are amazing. I kinda wish mine was that small still....
lol...I am a goofball and like to have fun. I can't stand boring CZcams videos...lol. I am happy that I made you smile. Yaay!! for NI school and make sure you are building your resume up during this time period. I am going on 7 years with my locs and I am pretty lazy with them so I appreciate the compliment. Have a blessed day and I appreciate the support as always.
I’m an Informaticist but I hold no degree.. I was an analyst and before that I was a tech on the floor.
My goal is CMIO. :-)
Hey H!! Awesome!! That is a great accomplishment, I am proud of you. I know a few informaticists without Masters degrees as well. They are amazing at what they do! Do you work for a hospital?
I work for a global health system with over 26 hospitals mostly on the east coast. Not in a hospital, but in an admin building/site. Your videos helped! Thank you!
Hi Jen! I just attended the Town Hall a few hours back. 👋
Yaayyy!!! Thank you so much for visiting my channel. I hope you learned some things when I was able to visit your town hall. Check out the full " "Informatics Salary" and "Resume & Interview" series to get a head start in building your resume. Let me know if you have any more questions. I am here to serve you.
If I continue going I will have 7 months to finish FNP. I am in clinical portion and I don't like it. Can you work at night as informatics?
Hey Due! I am so sorry that you don't like it. That is a lot of work to have accomplished and then not use it. We do have midlevels and physicians that work as informatics specialists. They typically oversee midlevel/Physician technology. They get the really big bucks...lol. Maybe you can ask around your facility to see if they have any job opportunities for APRNs to get into informatics. Let me know how that goes. As far as nightshift, not so much. Informatics specialist typically work dayshifts and occasionally round at night and take call at night. Hope that helps and thanks for watching my videos.
I love your energy your such a delight!
Aawwww, thanks so much linda!! I keep my energy up by keeping a positive mental attitude and atmosphere healthy. I protect my mind at all cost...oh and books constantly keep me in my mentality safe space. I love Napoleon Hill & Earl Nightingale!!!! I appreciate the compliment!!
Hey make a video on Clinical Transformation Specialist, please. Include day-to-day work and pay. Thanks
Hey Deepak! I think a CTS is different than an Informatics specialist. I apologize but my channel is niched to Informatics specialties. We work closely with the technology, learn it, teach it, support it, project management, and so much more. I had the hardest time trying to find a niched Informatics CZcams channel but could not so I created my own to help others. Maybe, once you gain the experience of a CTS, you can start one too! Just a thought. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for posting this video! very informative. Do you have any experience working with PT's that transitioned into this industry? Any insight on how that transition might be for a therapist? Feels like sometimes things are more geared towards nursing
Hey Christina!! That is a great question! From my experience, I don't know of anything like a "physical therapy informatics" team specifically. A Health or Nursing Informatics Specialist would assist smaller departments like PT/OT/ST. With your experience, you could absolutely get into Health Informatics though and serve as a liaison for any field. Regardless of Nursing or Health Informatics, you would be engaged with different departments. You have medical experience, and in training you would have to learn everyone's documentation workflows. Informatics is such a vast field that you could work in many different capacities. I would be concerned about a pay cut for you since PTs have doctorate degrees and I am assuming you all make more than what I stated, right? I could be totally wrong. Thanks for watching!!
@@InformaticsLife wow thank you so much for your insight. It is a paycut but there is so much more room for growth in informatics. Physical therapy has a ceiling when you want to grow professionally unfortunately. Thank you for sharing your experience!!
@@Christina-ds7qk
Hello Christina, I'm a physical therapist. Please can I send you a mail?
Hello please is health informatics same as clinical informatics or they both different
Thanks for the information. Love your energy !
You are so welcome, Rechette!!! Woot, Woot!! I don't drink coffee so it must be the Jesus in me...lol. Thank you so much for watching my videos. I appreciate your time and support so much! Have a beautiful energetic day!!
I’m currently a BSN RN looking to get back into school. I’m actually looking closely at going for my Masters in Informatics. I’m also seeing Doctorate level programs in it too. What’s your advice on someone without informatics experience, but with 5 years travel RN experience, who wants to transition to informatics?
Hey dear, I watched all 4 part of this series and I was wondering what are my chances of having good pay range with my situation. I have 4 yr bachelor degree in Biology and been working in a hospital as patient care tech over 7-8 months now. I am looking to pursue my masters in degrees that offers online classes and that's how I came up with masters in HI. Do you think I can get better paying job with the my educational and work background once I finish my masters in HI ?
Hey Jimmy, thank you for watching all 4 parts. Hhhhmm, it will be considered as medical experience but not as extensive as someone in nursing or other medical degrees. You will get paid more due to your degree. Some medical EHR companies may consider your PCT experience as enough but it may be more challenging in the hospital. I hope that helps.
hey, I also am coming from a Biology background but in research and am now changing careers and pursuing an associate's degree in IT coding/programming. I have looked into some job titles as health information specialists and most clinics/hospitals don't really require a lot of educational requirements as it is a relatively obscure field to study in a university?? not sure, but you could try to get some coding skills or some medical records/billing coder jobs as these tend to be trained positions.
aaaaand, let's be real, brother......pushing patients around from room to room isn't going to cut it. The world is becoming very competitive so you need to bring a lot to the table, thus....start expanding yourself into data analytics, coding, statistics or any other form of IT knowledge. There is a reason why this field branches into IT and veers off from biology/nursing (in some way).
I think my answer is a lot more helpful than what this youtuber gave you.
Can you put out content about Health Informatics Librarians? (Actual role, Impact, Salary, relationship with Nursing Informaticist..)
Woh! State of Mind! You just blew my mind. I have never heard of this before but will research to learn some more. Hopefully you liked that rhyme as well ;-). But seriously! I am interested in learning about this career path. Thanks for watching my video and if I gather enough information, I will create a video! Thanks so much, I appreciate it.
@@InformaticsLife 😄😁
I’m confused with the degree. You’re saying you have to have a degree to get that higher pay but you have your RN doesn’t that count?
Hey Scott! Watch this video about Bachelors degree versus Masters degree czcams.com/video/Wn_aHCqVjsQ/video.html . As A1 hair type Beauty mentioned, if you are seeking to get a Masters Degree in Nursing Informatics then, yes, you have to have your RN licensure and Bachelors Degree. This video will go into if you need medical experience czcams.com/video/j_ulWoOeLPY/video.html. Now, I know many who have gotten into the NI field with only their Associates or Bachelors and you will be paid less. That's just normal practices of any type of company. Most companies will also increase your pay once you prove that you have a higher degree. Companies pay for value. The higher the degree the more they have, on paper, that you will increase value for their company and this is for all types of companies. Now, you can increase your value by doing other things. An RN license is only the beginning to your future. Hope that helps.
Thanks A1 hair type Beauty for sharing your knowledge!! I really appreciate you and thanks for watching my video. Appreciate the support so much!
So I'm done with my BS in Health Informatics and I'm having the hardest time getting a job in my field. Any suggestions?
I'm so sorry to see that. Have you been working to build your resume with whatever you can? I just dropped a few videos that may help you. czcams.com/video/V3705GJsUxU/video.html and czcams.com/video/tQoLv1Rv9eQ/video.html. I hope they do. Let me know. Thanks!
Hi Jen , what compute knowledge do I need to work?
You need to have strong computer skills and love technology. It is a foundational principle because everything we do is surrounded with technology .
Question, based from your 3rd video on experience. I started my experience out in the field as an EMT/Paramedic and I am looking at going into an BSN program. So my experience ATM is all field, does this experience still help or do I need to start building experience informatics soon to have a healthy balance? Will my current experience working as an EMT/Paramedic help me and be looked at when I go to apply for a job in informatics once I complete all the certs and degrees you mentioned or will HR primary be looking at experience at Nurse and informatics?
Hey A P, Yes, it will only help if the hospital allows EMT/Paramedics to document into the EMR that everyone else uses. Many EMTs use a different system to document that will not be used by ED, inpt, or other hospital departments. Hopefully that makes sense. You really need to learn the main hospital documentation system as that is typically what an informatics specialists specializes in. When you get a chance, become a superuser on the floor. Again, your EMT/Paramedic experience will only shine if they know that you are familiar with the documentation system. You may find an opportunity where they are specifically looking for Emergency service people and that would help. You will have to look for an entry-level position and we always train with those. HR can be looking for a variety of things. Right off the top of my head, EMT/Paramedic is not typically something we look for since that is such a small department. Remember this: the more people you are able to serve, the more value you bring to the company and the more opportunities you can get hired into. Nursing is vast and that is why people look for that specific experience. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any other questions! I appreciate you and your EMT/Paramedic specialty!
@@InformaticsLife Thank you very much for your feedback! This helped a lot!
Coolio! Love your content
Can a health informatics works as pharmacy informatics without pharmacy residency program?
Do you have any medical background? Overall yes. You just have to review the requirements to see if they are requiring a license or degree for the position. Health Informatics is generic in the sense where you can work in various places but be mindful of the lower pay if you do not carry a medical license. Also be aware of competition therefore you have to really make sure you shine. Work on getting certifications to boost your resume to make yourself look attractive to an employer. Thanks for asking and watching my video @Shahereyar. If you haven't already, watch my Resume and Interview Series to get many tips! czcams.com/play/PLNsSsczBc2rArEgOklzrdQFVEnCKtpZ7N.html
Thank you
What about non health background ( biology ) but get a masters in health informatics?
Hey Derek! It really depends on the school but since it's a science course most of your credits will be taken. The "health" piece will have to be addressed though through various courses since you really have to understand the healthcare aspect of informatics. Thanks for watching my video. I appreciate you.
I want to remote work so badly
I hear ya! It is nice to have that flexibility. Don't sleep on Data abstractor jobs, Remote case management, Telehealth nursing, medical call centers, online instructors, etc. There are so many opportunities out there. Thanks so much for watching!
How much does a healthcare informatics specialist make who is not a nurse?
Hey May! Typically the lower end to what I mentioned but please note, a medical license may not be required for the specified job therefore the candidate may not be impacted by not having a license. Sometimes you can ask HR what the pay range is for the job you are interested in. Worth a try. Thanks for asking.
Is anyone hiring??? I am going crazy over here. I have my masters in informatics for 2years and still no job. What am I doing wrong? Where do I start? Please I am OPEN for work, I have no experience in reading data,sql....but I am willing LEARN!!!
@Angela Nwosu, I am so sorry that you are having challenges! Yes, they are hiring. Are you using the right keywords when searching? Search for "Analyst", "Clinical Informatics", "IT Nurse", "Clinical Analyst". Check out my Resume/Interview series to get tips on what to put in your resume. If you lack those skills or additions, then I highly recommend you start doing them so you can add them to your resume and shine. Also, not all INS use SQL so that is not an issue. Much of that is learned on the job. Thanks for watching and I wish you the best. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@InformaticsLife Yes I am. Can I get in touch with you personally? (Email)
@@Justsweet02 I am so sorry this took so long, I am just now realizing that CZcams does not alert me to responses after I respond one time!! informaticsliferocks@gmail.com
Great content, I am from Canada and a RN I want to take a master degree in health informatics in Canada but I am confused with university programs. Each university provides different programs. So, what things I should looked for when choosing a programme as a Nurse perspective. Also if you able to give some information about Canadian universities and National certificates in Canada for health informatics. Thanks
Hello up there, Gagandeep!!! I'm down in Florida, USA. Ok, I always tell nurses to start with the end. Do you know exactly what you would like to do in informatics. Informatics has many arms and nurses can go in many IT areas. Most jobs are on-the-job training but having the education, of course, does allow you to level up. Do you have any idea to what you want to do? Analytics, teaching, building documentation, programming, etc.? I love learning so it was cool to view Canadian informatics goodies. I was able to find this one: Canadian Health Information Systems Cert - digitalhealthcanada.com/achieving-cphims-ca/ . Also, here is their association. Becoming a member to these types of associations typically gives you doorways into beneficial certifications, networking, and valuable information to help guide you. www.cna-aiic.ca/en/nursing-practice/the-practice-of-nursing/nursing-informatics . Thanks for watching my videos! I truly appreciate you!
@@InformaticsLife
Thank you for your reply. I do not really know what I want to do yet it depends on job market too but I like Analytics and building documentation. I am looking for online and part time master degree programme and befuddled in between three universities university of Waterloo, university of Victoria and Dalhousie University. Could you able to provide me little insight of these universities programs or please suggest me which one is better and bring more job opportunities. I would really appreciate!
Thank you.
@@gagandeepkaur5038 hey there, I'm planning to opt for informatics course but I'm not eligible for masters hence I have to take up the course from college. Can you please through some ligh on job opportunities from college and university, is there a big difference in the payscale?
@@gagandeepkaur5038 I am so sorry this took so long, I am just now realizing that CZcams does not alert me to responses after I respond one time...goodness gracious! As a nurse, you already have a wealth of knowledge and honestly, most companies do not care what particular programs you attended within your program. We want to see that you have the MSN degree and what other experiences do you have. With your degree, you can do analytics or building documentation but they will want to see you with some type of leadership skills and some experience. For whatever job you want, ask the company for job descriptions so you can glean from that. Work hard at finding opportunities to build our resume. That is what will matter in the end.
Hello , Can a Healthcare informatics Graduate work as a Data Analyst?
Hey Saurabh! Yes, yes, and yes! I advise you to find out what platform your desired future hospital/health organization is using for data analytics and study it like a beast! Build your resume with self-practice so you can shine and show them you are ready to rock and roll! Thanks for watching my video!
You're hilarious 😆
Hahahaha!! @Dom Smith!! I am a jokester yet an ambivert. Thank you so much for watching my video. I appreciate you!
Please can you just suggest me cheap and best college or universities in USA for international students who interested to Masters in health informatics or bioinformatics for those student which have clinical medicine field undergraduate degree not in IT , Computer science ?
Please respond me ?
Eeekkk, that is a hard question to answer. Honestly, as a hiring Director/Manager, I don't really care what college people went to. I care more about self-initiated projects on the floor, leadership skills, clinical experience, references, and overall wholistic view of the person. Let me ask you this....what college did your doctor or dentist go to? I bet you will say, you don't know. What's important is who they are and how they treat you. I hope that helps. Therefore, find a school that is affordable and go the extra mile to self-develop yourself while in school in the clinical world and in your personal life. IT degrees are not needed in informatics unless you really want to do programming, engineering, coding, etc. Thanks!
Bedside nurses in Alabama BSN is about 40,000. It’s sad out here. I just got my MSN in informatics. I’m hoping to land a job soon.
Yeh, that can be challenging. Make sure you watch my series to build up that resume. I wish you the best! czcams.com/play/PLNsSsczBc2rArEgOklzrdQFVEnCKtpZ7N.html
That’s a slap in the face
What is the expected salary afters Masters in Health Informatics
Hey the numbers are quoted are for health informatics as well. Hopefully you watched all 4 parts of the Salary series to give you a broader scope of what all goes into your salary. I did share a range in the video. Thanks so much for watching!
Whole LOT of talking and not enough information. #fluff
Hey Jerry, So sorry you didn't find any value in my video but I am sure if you keep searching on CZcams or the internet, you will find what you need. Have a great day and I appreciate you watching!
Hiii I m from india .I am trying for informatics in usa. Is it worth ? What about jobs ?
Hey Kuldeep! Thanks for watching! Hhhhmmmm, is it worth it? That's hard for me to say, honestly. Are you coming here with medical experience? Are you bringing or leaving your family? What type of income are you looking to make? Jobs are pretty good here. Lots of hospitals being built as well as medical companies so I do not think jobs are becoming scarce.
@@InformaticsLife Hi!...I am a Dentist from India. Looking forward to starting MS- Health Informatics Fall '23 USA.
Some doubts-
1) Where can I find the difference between health informatics,HIT,HIM, biomedical informatics,Health IT, Digital health ?
2) How recession /economic crisis proof is this field?
3) Best Uni. for International Students?
4)Importance of CAHIIM/AHIMA accreditation to Universities?
My school offers Masters in business administration and emphasis on healthcare informatics. What can you say about it? Is it different from master’s in healthcare informatics?
That is awesome! I have never heard of that but I know many schools are truly trying to fill the future need of health-tech progress. Pay would still be on the lower end without a medical degree and experience. If you have time, check out the rest of the series that explains this. Good luck in your ventures and thanks for watching!!
@TAIWO SOKAN May I ask what school you go to where they offer an MSN/MBA with an emphasis on informatics?
Thanks for the information. It’s hard to tell what’s accurate out there. I have my BSN and have been a nurse in critical care/ surgical for 4 yrs now. I want to try to get a nursing informatics masters degree. Any idea what salary range I’d be looking at? Starting and potential? Thanks!
With no informatics experience you would be looking at the entry level income. Were you able to watch the other parts of the series which covers other pay increase influencing pieces? Where you live, informatics-like experience, leadership experience, etc. all will influence your pay. If you still have questions, let me know. Thanks so much for watching! The next Resume series video will be coming out soon!!
Hii, I have done my Food quality control in INDIA and Iam interested in Health informatics so I wanted to do double Masters in US.Am I eligible for this course
Hey dhanalakshmi! Food quality is definitely different than health. I'm not sure your background would be considered as experience or course work considered as pre-requisite coverage. I did find that there is an arm of informatics for food nutrition. www.vstech.com/healthcare-initiatives/food-nutrition-informatics/ Anyway, you can still do Health Informatics but would need to start fresh, some of your foundational courses can possibly be transferred. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Wth
lol...not sure what that was for but hopefully it's because you learned something....paha! Thanks for watching!
Couldn't even make it past a few minutes; I know you mean well and want to engage your audience but yelling at the camera and forced optimism isn't the way to do it.
Hey John, hope you are doing well 😊. Thanks for sharing your opinion. One things for sure, what you see is what you get with me. I’m a very positive person who loves to have fun and serve others. Nothing is ever forced..lol. I can’t apologize for being me, the best me. I hope you find a CZcams channel that you like. Take care!
