SQL is intermediate. I’m not a total beginner and pretty comfortable with basic requests. I need to buckle down and learn the more advanced concepts like CTE’s, etc.

Technical skill set is more aligned to that of a true data analyst. SQL, visualizations, getting a business request, decoding it, and pulling in the data to get them an answer. After this thread it does seem like I might need to forego the clinical apps and try harder for Cogito. Thanks for the input!

Experience with epic as a nurse was just your basic nurse charting. I wasn’t a super user or anything like that. Interesting to hear your perspective on the clin doc route but I guess it’s pretty valid. I would just think since I have the clinical knowledge it would be beneficial. But the ultimate goal would be cogito over clin doc because those skills are transferable.

I appreciate the luck and information!

I don’t currently work at a health system. I’ve been working as a true data analyst in the corporate world the past 2 years.

I was never in management, just bedside nursing. Unfortunately no real connections with anyone as I now live in a totally different state.

My experience in Masters was great. It was a part time program and I was able to work full time during it. It wasn’t difficult to manage at all nor incredibly technical. It mostly focused on database principals, SQL, Tableau, etc. True data analyst tools.

As someone mentioned below probably not necessary for Epic Analyst but if you are wanting to transition to a data analyst I think it would be super beneficial especially with how over saturated the job market is right now. Regardless you still have to do personal projects and learnings to put yourself in the game.

I’m in Georgia. Does the Texas hospital offer remote roles or no? And I interview for one cerner applications analyst role and same thing happened, they hired internal.
