Informatics nurse specialists have multiple roles. They are often the go-between between the nursing staff and IT. According to the University of Maryland, jobs in nursing informatics fall in two broad categories: applied/professional and expert/ liaison roles. The applied roles are the more techie ones. Some informatics nurse specialists are on the team that develops new software systems. Specialists in the liaison role, meanwhile, may do needs assessment, select appropriate systems, and prepare training materials. Nursing informatics is generally not a persons first job.
For a specialist career in nursing informatics, you'll need to have already completed nursing training and be a registered nurse. A majority of respondents to the 2011 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) revealed that they had no formal training or education in informatics (www.himss.org).
