What is Nursing Informatics?


Miranda Belcher

Question

I used to work in nursing informatics or IT, but I am wondering if the scope of practice has changed since the days of electronic records and electronic order entry implementation. What is nursing informatics as it stands today? What types of jobs are available in nursing informatics?

Is this sometimes called an IT nurse? I am not sure. Either way, it seems like it's a rising nursing specialty.

Yes, It is an IT nurse; there used to be in-house IT nurse positions that were often paid higher than the regular, perhaps MedSurg rate, but you could also contract as an IT nurse for killer pay as an implementation specialist or analyst. I am curious in today's market if those contracted IT jobs still rank in the big bucks.🤑
