I am enrolled in my masters in nursing informatics, and when I search for national avarage salary, the results show 46.000/rs. That is almost half as much as I make as an RN- is this right?
ofcourse now I can not find the site...it was on one of the job search engine. Now that I searched on google for "average nursing informatics salary" I found the average listed between 56.000-78.000. I make 78.000 now as a staff nurse- I can't see myself taking a pay cut when I just paid all of this money into a masters program...
I'm currently thinking of going into nursing informatics. My background is in Computer Science and working on a Med Surg unit. Do you have any recommendation on what I need to prepare before presuing a master degree in nursing informatics? BTW, the video is very informative. Thank You. :)
Thank you for loading this video! I am currently a Master of Nursing student at University of Washington in Tacoma majoring in Healthcare Leadership. I have always been very inquisitive about nursing informatics. I found it to be very interesting with your video. I might pursue this study in my PhD, after I graduate in my MN study next year.
Thanks for posting this, I am very interested in this field of nursing. I am a practicing RN in Canada (5 years) and it does not seem to be a well known field here. Can you give me some guidance on how to get my foot in the door of this? How competitive is this program at Duke?
@soapvivor Hello, you can try to get a job in an information technology department or maybe where you work might be interested in a position for an informatics nurse educator, who would provide support and education for the nursing staff. The program at Duke is excellent, it is not easy and it takes alot of study. Their program includes the best of both worlds; online and on campus sessions. Good luck in your pursuit.

Do you have to be a nurse to pursue a degree in Nursing Informatics? Some universities - if I'm not mistaken - offer the degree without necessarily being a nurse.
You would have to be a nurse to obtain a degree in "Nursing Informatics" but there are other discipline specific (healthcare informatics) and clinical informatics programs.
Thank you for responding to my inquiry, and forgive me for bothering, but you cam briefly explain what Healthcare Informatics and Clinical Informatics involve? I'm trying to select a career involving Informatics, but within the healthcare industry. Thank you! :0)
Thank you for posting this! I have been undecided as to which career I want to pursue dealing with healthcare and IT. It's been a little difficult for me to find in-person guidance on this subject since it seems to be such a specialized field. There seems to be a wide spectrum of career paths available depending on peoples' experiences and skills. From this video, nursing informatics seems to be the direction I want to head into, especially the research and software development part.

@doglottmacska1 In my experience the salary is at or very much above that of a staff nurse. Can you tell me where you read the salary information?
